I had visited Newcombe`s ink and had artwork done, and it was my first, and let me say they are amazing talented people, who believe in customer services, satification and great prices. The level of respect and pre-orientation given to me before making the decission of a life time was remarkable. The tattoo was given with perfection and at my pace. where it was my first I was nervous and they took their time repeatly asking if I was ok, did I want to take a break and was I comfortable, they showed caring respect and kindness. Thank-you to the staff and management of Newcombe`s ink. I followed your care plan that we spoke about its perfect.
Newcombe`s ink you have a great future In Halifax located 5187 Sackville St , Downtown Halifax. Keep up the great work of Tattoos.
