Artist James Vidales gives patron of Ink Skin Gallery tattoo.

As the only shop in this area, it will bring more quality and character to the surrounding area.

The shop is small in appearance, but it's a well known fact that it isn't size that matters; it's all about the quality.

Managing the shop is Jason Smith, the proprietor; lead artist James Vidales, and his apprentice Israel Pena.

When it comes to all things involving piercings are John John and Brett Wiley, including custom jewelry and jewelry implants.

Specializing in "everything tattoos" the artists of Ink Skin Gallery want to give their customers more than just a tattoo.

Vidales said "We're here to assist people in expressing their individuality and personal expression. We help people communicate their character with our art."

This shop has an inviting atmosphere; stop by for a new tattoo, piercing, fun or stimulating company.

Certain months, the shop will be running specials on different types of tattoos and piercings.

For the month of April all flower style tattoos, the size of your palm or smaller, are running for only $70, along with Monroe piercings for $30.

The west valley has needed this rejuvenation in culture and trend.
