Sent a rough design of what I wanted last minute and they were extremely accommodating and were able to give me an appointment so quickly. Arrived and they helped finalise and add pieces to the tattoo, to which they carried out perfectly and for an amazing price! Will definitely be going back to tribe for my next tattoo.
