Couldn't ask for a better place to get new ink than Guru! Went on suggestions of multiple friends and Alonzo delivered big time. So stoked with the first piece of my sleeve...can't wait for the next session! Thanks Alonzo and the team at Guru!

I admired "Sweets" for his blunt personality and drive to get people what they want. This artist truly listens and soaks up every aspect one wants to show in their tattoo. Being my first tattoo I was all over the place and he was able to dial-in and excuted amazing results. It sure is TRUE the more quiet ones you gotta watch! He certainly has the speed and skills!

Went to Nahn and he knew exactly what I wanted. He is the best when it comes to flower detail and he did such a great job on my skull piece!

I believe in the saying 'Everything happens for a reason' That's why I did my research and finally decided to get my first tattoo with Mateo Robles. I couldn't be happier with the results!! Definitely recommend Mateo for your first, cover ups or any other tattoo needs. Thank you brother.
