Why Clients Trust Devon With Their Tattoos
“I booked a consultation online and spoke with Dante at the studio. He was incredibly welcoming and was genuinely interested in getting to know me and my vision for the sleeve which was amazing, especially for someone getting their first tattoo. I told him the ideas I wanted to convey and the message I wanted the sleeve to send and he suggested two artists who would be able to execute it.
I ended up booking with Devon for the sleeve and we had a couple back and forths regarding the design and minor revisions to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Devon executed the sleeve flawlessly and I will definitely be back to finish out the sleeve later this year. - Rohin”
“You do not want to go anywhere except this tattoo studio.. I cannot recommend Zen Tattoo Studio and Devon enough. I got my first tattoo over 6 years ago and had a plan to get my sleeve done, but other things took priority so I had to wait. After being removed from my initial tattoo for so long I needed to find a tattoo studio and artist for what I was looking for and I came across Devon’s work on the website and his instagram. Not only did I love his work, but I reached out and within 30 minutes he DMed me back on instagram, and asked if I was free to take a call shortly after. He talked to me about his style, how he works with his clients, and wants them to be fully comfortable before we commit to the work. He is so detail oriented and truly takes his time to understand what you’re looking for. He truly embraces every piece of work he designs. Literally Picasso 2.0 with how great of a job he did.
Austin and Dante are the owners and I didn’t even get a chance to take 10 steps into the studio without them introducing themselves, offering me water and coffee, and just truly getting to know me. 10/10 from me.. I’m already thinking of the next tattoo with Devon, and can’t wait to be back in their awesome studio soon! Guys, thanks so much and looking forward to seeing you again for the next piece! - Lucas”
“’Im not sure where to start.. I had the pleasure of having a back to back appointment over two days with Devon. He did not disappoint! Hands down the best artist that I have ever come across. The experience was like none other as he created the design a week prior to the tattoo session, something I have never had before. Come time of the appointment there was no back and forth trying to figure out a design, we were able to get right to work. The shop was professional and clean. Both owners were there throughout the tattoo and were very accommodating and friendly. Like I said from start to finish this tattoo was like no other and I will only be going to Zen tattoo moving forward. I HIGHLY recommend you check out Devon and this shop you will not be disappointed!! - Stephen”
