Trusted by hundreds of happy clients
I had an amazing experience tattooing at High Contrast tattoo. I was looking for neo trad color style tattoo artists to finish an old project and Nastia made all my dreams come true. Always when I look at my arm I have to smile because it looks exactly how I imagined it. Thank you so much for this great art, the project and the great human you are.
Ed, our tattoo artist has been very attentive, friendly and competent. We felt very safe. Our tattoos, the very first ones, turned out to be beautiful and exactly how I and my husband imagined it. Just lovely. Getting an appointment was also easy. The studio has a great, bright atmosphere and the other artists have been very friendly too.
Top modern, super clean but cozy place.
Highly professional tattoos!
Very friendly and open atmosphere. Absolute recommendable!
Thank you very much for your outstanding work Nastia!
Thank you you Arseniy for such amazing tattoo! Image and colors are the best. Work speed is astonishing. For sure must return for the next one!
Ich war bei Luara und bin total begeistert. Gerade im Vergleich zu anderen Studios wo ich schon war genieße ich die freundschaftliche Atmosphäre. Man kann viel quatschen und merkt fast nicht was für ein cooles Design man gerade gestochen bekommt. Die Pflegetipps waren auch großartig und es sieht besser aus als ich es erwartet hatte.
Schönes Studio mit einer tollen Atmosphäre. Ich wurde von Sarah tattoowiert und habe mich während des gesamten Termins sehr wohlgefühlt. Professionelle Arbeit und ein Ergebnis, mit dem ich mehr als zufrieden bin.
