This was my first tattoo in nearly 20 years. It is a drawing my 26 year old special needs daughter made. Khalid and I discussed the drawing and he convinced me to keep it true to my daughter’s original artwork. This could have been a 15 minute job but Khalid took the time and care to do a wonderful job. He understood the love behind a simple drawing. I love the ink and would wholeheartedly recommend Area 51 to anyone looking for quality work.

I’ve had a tattoo picked out for years, it just needed my ideas brought to life. My kids gave me a gift certificate to push me along. I brought my idea to Desirea & she drew it up PERFECTLY!! Thanks!!! It’s AWESOME!!

Both apprentices rock! My boyfriend Jay and I were able to get in with them tonight. We got similar wrist tattoos. Dakota nailed the design Jay wanted, and Talia was nice enough to do mine so we could get them together, which meant a lot being Jay's 1st tattoo! We have found our perminate tattoo shop, trusting all 4 of them. Happy day, happy day!! Can't wait to get more done in March!!
