The Tattoo Gemologist

This was my first tattoo, and I had such a great experience. Vanessa is so sweet and she made me feel very comfortable. Her studio is clean. I definitely recommend her for your next tattoo. I had the best experience and I look forward to my next tattoo.Update: Got a second tattoo from Vanessa. I love how much attention she pays to detail. She took my drawing and brought it to life. It came out exactly how I envisioned it💕

Wow!! Vanessa did an amazing job with taking the image I had in my head and being able to draw it out and tattoo it. Any changes I requested she had no problems changing them, ensured I was happy with the location & size before placing the stencil. She has a very calming personality that helped bring a sense of relaxation during the tattoo. She is very light handed and the tattoo was pretty painless for me. She thoroughly checks the tattoo to ensure she didn’t miss any lines or if they need to be darker in different areas. Overall she was an amazing artist that was considerable of your wants and needs and had a very friendly atmosphere. Her line work was excellent and if you are looking for a fine line artist, she is the real deal!! I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo.

My sister and I had the absolute best experience with Vanessa getting matching tattoos. She brought our vision to life and even exceeded expectations of how beautiful they came out! The studio was so cute and had the most calming atmosphere to the point where I could’ve fallen asleep during my session. Vanessa was so attentive to me and my sister and was super friendly. Thank you again Vanessa!

It was our first time getting couple tattoos done by Vanessa and I have to say we really love it. She’s so sweet, passionate about her craft and very responsive. Her studio is clean and very comfortable. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend her. Looking forward for our next tattoo idea.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo The Tattoo Gemologist, and I couldnt be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, which helped me feel calm and excited for the process. Vanessa was friendly, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. She was also very punctual and respectful of my time, which I greatly appreciated. But most importantly, her artwork is incredible! She took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life with precision and care. I cant recommend Vanessa enough shes a talented artist and a wonderful person. Five stars isnt enough!

I went for my first tattoo and chose Vanessa after Googling for fine line tattoo, her site came up as one of the first. Communication went really well so I scheduled my appt for the same week. Loved loved the studio atmosphere instead of a shop especially for my first time. She asked about any special needs I may have and I confirmed I’m sensitive to bright lights and loud music and she listened so the atmosphere was chill and perfect for me. She drew out the tattoo with her own art based on inspiration pics and then got to work. It went perfectly and she gave me a card afterwards with detailed instructions for care. It’s only been 2 days so I still have to go through healing process but I’ve attached a pic from right after it was completed.

I first came to Vanessa wanting a dainty cursive tattoo behind my ear and she delivered beyond my expectations! She’s super sweet and very professional. The environment is very positive and super clean! I have now visited her a total of 3 times. 2 tattoos and a piercing appointment. I will definitely be coming back to her for my next tattoo.

Absolutely love my new tattoo by Vanessa. Vanessa did an amazing job. Her design was exactly what I wanted. Her workspace was very clean and tidy. Definitely would recommend if you are interested in fine line tattoos. Will be coming back.

This was my first tattoo and it was matching with my mom, and to put it shortly, I loved the experience! Vanessa makes you feel so comfortable and makes sure that you like the placement and the size of your tattoo. I will definitely be going back to her to get future tattoos and I recommend her to anyone that is nervous about getting a tattoo because the environment is definitely calming!

Vanessa is awesome! I booked her for my nieces 18th birthday gift and I could not have chosen a better artist. I live overseas and researched artists from out there and found Vanessa and knew my window was small since I would only be home for five days and she was able to book us right away. My niece already had a design picked to honor her grandparents (two hand drawn hearts by them with their birth years) and Vanessa simply cleaned it up and perfected it to be the most perfect tattoo. My sister already has plans to book with her in the near future. She is talented, personable, great line work and her space is very clean and welcoming. Book with her now!!!!!

I got a tattoo from Vanessa in May 2024. She’s very friendly and easy to work with. We texted regarding the design of my tattoo since I had an idea but needed help getting the design right. She’s super helpful and responsive. She helped with design, placement, and sizing. She has a gentle touch and her studio was very clean and comfortable.I would 100% recommend her for fine line and detailed tattoos. I would definitely go back to her for more tattoos in the future. It’s been about a couple weeks now and my tattoo looks to he healing great. I have minimal scabbing and itchiness and I probably wouldn’t need a touch up.

This was my first tattoo ever and I was so nervous, but Vanessa did an amazing job. I told her I was coming from out of town and she was able to schedule me for the next day so I appreciate her flexibility. She was very kind and knew what she was doing :) I would definitely consider going back to Vanessa in the future to get another one!

For my 57th birthday I decided to get my first tattoo, I got 4 hearts for my 4 kids. To say I was nervous was an understatement however, Vanessa explained the entire procedure before she started and told me I could take as many breaks as I needed. Vanessa was very calming and her shop was so peaceful it helped me to relax. On a scale of 1-10 the pain was a 3 top. I would highly recommend her

I had such a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Ive spent two years trying to figure out the design of my first tattoo, and decided on a simple piece in my late grandfathers writing. The next decision was - who was I going to trust to complete this work of art on my body!? I spent hours on pinterest and instagram, and stumbled on Vanessas work. Not only is her artistry precise and dainty, but her customer service was impeccable. She was accommodating and thorough in the entire process, and made me feel so comfortable and welcoming. The tattoo came out beautifully and is healing quite nicely. So happy with my choice... cant wait to see her again for my next tattoo!

I entrusted my vision on a tattoo idea to Vanessa today. From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Vanessa, took the time to listen attentively to my ideas, effortlessly translating them into a design that I am absolutely in love with! I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude as I have been wanting to get this tattoo for a long time. Thank you Vanessa!

Genuinely glad I chose Vanessa to do my first tattoo!! The sweetest and very straight forward with making your the tattoo is exactly what you want as well and making sure your comfortable throughout the proces. Very clean and cute studio!! Definitely look forward to booking again !!

Summary: wonderful experience for the first tattoo, talented artist, adorable style, cozy studio with free movies to watch while getting the work done; will come back.I had the pleasure of getting my first tattoo done by Vanessa, the talented owner of The Tattoo Gemologist, and I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I initially found her through Instagram and was impressed with her style, which shared similar vibe with the artist in foreign country I had originally wanted to work with but was not able to due to schedule conflict. Vanessa was more than willing to take on the challenge of creating the design in her own unique style (custom crayons book style).On the day of the tattoo session, Vanessa was incredibly kind and patient, walking me through the entire process and making me feel at ease. She even offered breaks if needed, which was a thoughtful gesture I hadnt expected. The tattooing process turned out to be almost painless, contrary to my initial apprehensions. Vanessa acknowledged that pain tolerance varies among individuals, which made me feel more comfortable throughout the session.The color choices Vanessa made for the tattoo were spot-on, as the colors complemented each other perfectly. We also discovered that yellow didnt show up well on my skin during the process, and she shared this valuable information with me, which Ill keep in mind for future tattoos.I followed Vanessas aftercare instructions diligently during the healing process, but some areas of the tattoo did fade after the flaking off stage. Fortunately, Vanessa assured me that touch-ups are normal and offered to do one for me. I did my research online and confirmed that this is indeed a regular part of the tattoo healing process, which gave me peace of mind.I am extremely satisfied with the experience and the tattoo itself. Though it is an hour drive for me, it is totally worth it. Ive already scheduled my next appointment with Vanessa, and I cant wait to come back for more.

Genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had!! This was my first ever tattoo & I know some places are hesitant about tattooing people for the first time but Vanessa was AMAZING!! It barely hurt & it came out better than I expected!! Love love love will be coming back!

Vanessa did an excellent job on my tattoo. It was my first time and I was nervous but the whole experience was very positive. I love it. It has my grandma’s handwriting and is very special to me.

I wanted to find a studio nearby and came across her on Instagram. I went there with my mom and got some tattoos done. The line work is really clean, and her studio is immaculate. I highly recommend Vanessa. Im loving how well my tattoos are healing!

Truly the best first tattoo experience a girl could ask for! Vanessa was so sweet and super talented. She gave me exactly what I was looking for, made me feel so comfortable and I barely felt a thing. If you’re looking for a tattoo artist look no further. It’s Vanessa the tattoo Gemologist!

I have searching high and low for a female tattoo since mine moved away. I came across Vanessa on TikTok and immediately made an appointment for a very special tattoo. Vanessa was kind, professional, and she made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. I plan to schedule more tattoo appointments with her soon!

I found Vanessa on IG because I was looking for tattoo artists that specialized in fine line tattoos. I thought her work was so cute and intricate, so I decided to message her on Instagram to see if she could tattoo the design I had. I did originally want it smaller and at a different location but Vanessa told me that she recommended that for my design, that it be bigger to preserve the quality of the design. As far as the location I wanted it, she explained that it would not be a good location and detailed the reason why. So we looked at other options for the location and she helped me through it. She was very professional and focused when doing my tattoo. The tattoo turned out so dainty and cute. I am already trying to brainstorm what other tattoos I want Vanessa to do!

Vanessa was sweet, meticulous, and thorough during the whole process.She did an amazing job and I love my new tattoo!

There was a slight hiccup in the beginning but Vanessa was so accommodating, I am so thankful! She listens to your concerns and thoughts about the tattoo. I am so so happy with my new piece. 10/10 recommend

Vanessa is a delight! The studio is calm and relaxing and Vanessa is easy to work with to ensure you get the tattoo you want. I will continue to book with her for all of my fineline tattoos

Vanessa was absolutely amazing. It’s been about 6 years since my last tattoo and all my previous are pretty tiny. I got three tats from her in one day and I expected all the worse in terms of pain. But each tat was carefully prepped for and she walked me through each out and made me feel really comfortable. She tested my pain tolerance, she resized my tats, she adjusted the locations; all with a smile. She genuinely wants you to love every bit about your tattoo from placement to size to the minute details. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Got my first tattoo here and couldn’t have had a better experience! She was so kind and welcoming and made me feel so comfortable during the entire process! Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be back!

First time getting a tattoo, Vanessa made me feel comfortable and was very communicative with tattoo placement and aftercare. The process was felt quick and painless. If I decide to add on more tattoos I will be coming back!

Vanessa was super nice and professional. She has a great attention to detail, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a fine line tattoo!

I really liked this place! Vanessa did a great job with my tattoo! She really took her time with all the tattoo details! I will go back to get another tattoo soon. Thank you!

It’s always a great experience with Vanessa! I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her via DMs, and I appreciate even more how patient and understanding she is throughout the whole process of getting tattooed. She makes sure her clients are comfortable in her peaceful and calming work environment 😄

Vanessa was wonderful! I found her on Instagram looking for someone to do a memorial tattoo for my uncle who had passed.I sent her message, she reached out that same day. I sent pictures of what I was looking for, how big and where at. She quoted me and I booked the date with her!I also ended up messaging her to make a change and she did it!I arrived at the place, it was so nice and clean and a lovely place. She has a cute little set up in her shop.She was pretty light handed and went very fast. I will definitely return for a future tattoo! Thank you so much for taking me soon, listening to what I wanted and made any changes necessary.

Had my late son’s EKG and his signature put on my wrist. Vanessa did a wonderful job and was very careful and thoughtful placing his name and heartbeat on my wrist.

I am delighted to share my experience and thoughts on the exquisite floral collarbone tattoo I recently had the pleasure of receiving. From start to finish, the process was a testament to the skill and artistry of the tattoo artist, resulting in a captivating and timeless piece. 🌺👑Upon entering the studio, I was immediately struck by the atmosphere of professionalism and creativity. The artist took the time to carefully discuss and understand my vision for the tattoo, ensuring that every detail was aligned with my expectations. I was a little nervous at first as this was my second tattoo and it was on my collarbone area but she made me feel super comfortable every step of the way.As the tattooing process began, I was impressed by the artists meticulous attention to detail. Each petal and contour of the floral elements was rendered with precision and finesse, creating a sense of depth and dimension that brings the design to life. The placement on the collarbone area was executed flawlessly, accentuating the natural contours of the body. The fine line aesthetic chosen for the floral elements is nothing short of stunning.Beyond the artistic aspects, the overall experience was comfortable and hygienic. The studio adhered to the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, ensuring a worry-free session. The tattoo is healing beautifully, and Ive received numerous compliments on my amazing tattoo! Some people even thought my tattoo was fake because of how great it looks! Honestly, every time I catch a glimpse of my floral masterpiece in the mirror, its like an instant mood boost. Its like carrying a little piece of sunshine and nature with me everywhere I go. Plus, Ive been getting so many compliments, its crazy! People are, like, stopping me on the street to ask about my tattoo – and who wouldnt?! Its seriously a work of art that I get to wear proudly. 🌻🤗

I really had the best experience here. This was my first big tattoo and an anime one at that and it went so well. I was so relaxed and felt really good throughout the whole experience. Hands down will come back!

Reached out for a tattoo on a Wednesday and luckily was able to come in on Friday for a custom piece that I had drawn up. The studio was super clean and comfortable. When going to a tattoo shop I usually get intimidated but that was not the case here. Definitely recommend coming here for any tattoos you want!
