Testimonials

I love hearing from my clients! Whether it’s about the design process or the final piece, their feedback means everything to me. Here’s what some of them have to say about their experience getting inked by me

Zack Stickley
“Extremely Professional ”

I provided an idea and Medz brought it to life in ways I never could have imagined. He worked vigorously over a two-day session and made the entire experience comfortable and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend him as an artist and will most definitely be a returning client.

Nathan Kang
“unparalleled  creativity”

I couldn't be happier with the final result of my tattoo. It's not just ink on skin; it's a masterpiece that I'll proudly carry with me for a lifetime. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who delivers exceptional quality, creativity, and professionalism, look no further than Vivid colors gallery.

Devin
“the best tattoo I've ever had”

This tattoo is a unique design completely created by Medz. His work is meticulous and I’m extremely happy with the work he has already done. The tattoo itself has healed very well. I will certainly be back and I highly recommend anyone to check his work out and reach out to him.
