I've been working with Michelle for a few weeks now, from design to sitting #1 and the same for my husband. I can say that I have already recommended her to several friends and family.



Her work is phenomenal, I brought her a design, told her what I liked and didn't like about it and she took her time to rework it to an amazing piece that I am very excited about and can't wait to finish. She works very cleanly, is super professional and is easy to talk with.



If you have an idea of what you want and give her the time to draw it up, I am confident that you will be pleased as well!

My first tattoo 9 years ago was by Michelle at Etched in skin. It was a tiny heart tattoo and I was scared to death but knew I wanted lots of tattoos. Michelle was the PERFECT artist for a first tattoo. She was insanely clean, VERY descriptive to what she was going to do, and how she was going to do it and what it was going to feel like. She didn't sugar coat anything but she put me at ease as to what to expect.



Last Friday I received my 9th tattoo from Michelle and she has done 90% of all of my 25+ tattoo hours experienced. I do not live in the area, but I will travel a state away for Michelle. I have taken friends, co-workers and family members to Michelle and NO ONE has ever walked away disappointed or with a bad experience.



My aunt and cousins only give each other gift certificates on our birthdays and Christmas from Etched in Skin, and then always book our tattoos at the same time. Our tattoos all have deep meaning, and Michelle is extremely professional and considerate to our ideas, all the while making the tattoo as beautiful as it can be with the artistic touch that she is blessed with.



I couldn't feel safer with her cleaniness. (She went through a whole box of gloves on one of my tattoos to prevent cross-contamination! ~ Most shops never change their gloves during one tattoo.)



A strong, independent, thorough, and amazingly talented woman who I believe has so much more potential that has yet to be tapped. I am truely blessed to be tattooed by her. I recommend her to anyone that isn't an idiot.
