CLIENT STORIES

"Got my first tattoo here and Arjo made the whole experience so calm. I was nervous going in but he walked me through every step. The sakura branch on my wrist healed perfectly — still crisp four months later."

"Had a cover-up done for an old tattoo I regretted. Arjo didn't judge — just showed me options and delivered exactly what we discussed. The koi wave design completely buried the old work. Booked my second session already."

"Clean studio, private setup, no rush. Arjo spent time getting the placement right before touching needle to skin. The fine-line geometric piece on my forearm took about 3 hours and I barely felt it. Healing was smooth, aftercare instructions were clear."

"I wanted something personal — a memorial piece for my lola. Arjo listened to the story, suggested the design direction, and the result hit harder than I expected. He gets it. The Japanese wave on my back took two sessions and both were professional, no drama."

"Worth the travel from Cebu to Bohol for this. Arjo's one-person studio is immaculate — all single-use equipment visible, cleaned in front of me before starting. I do Muay Thai so I needed something durable on my shoulder. The bold traditional sleeve piece has held up perfectly through training."

"Booked via the online form, heard back within 24 hours. Arjo answered all my questions before confirming. The 50% deposit process was clear and the remaining balance on session day was straightforward. Got a small minimal script on my collarbone — clean healed lines, exactly what I wanted."

"As an artist myself I'm picky about tattoo artists. Arjo's line control is excellent — his fine-line work holds especially well over time. I got a botanical illustration on my arm and it's still completely black with no blowout, six months in. Recommend for anyone who cares about line quality."

"Super patient ako nung nagpunta ko — I kept changing my mind about the design and Arjo never made me feel bad about it. We went through three rounds of revisions before I was happy. The final piece on my ribs exceeded what I had imagined. Worth every peso."
