I’m a tattoo collector who has traveled all over the country (and even internationally) and 9th Realm is unequivocally one of the best shops I’ve been to. First and foremost, it features some of the very best artists in their respective styles including Matt Driscoll for neotrad/new skool/realism, Sean Gardner for new skool, and Gabe Londis for bng realism. Check out their instas, but they are each world class artists who take tremendous pride in their work and will make you something you love. But, the thing these days is that there are increasing numbers of excellent artists all over. What distinguishes 9th Realm is how well they treat their clients—heating pads on the tables, a kitchen stocked with sodas and all sorts of treats to help you get through your session, and a commitment to treating clients with respect (unfortunately this isn’t something I can say has been the case with some other artists who’ve tattooed me). If I could give this place six stars, I would!
