Thanks Jim for an unbelievable experience!

I gave Jim a rough idea of what I wanted and let him run with it. I am thoroughly impressed with his creativity and his art work. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my tattoo and I can't thank him enough.

The staff are very welcoming and the vibe at 9 Element is perfect! I would recommend anyone looking for a great experience to visit Jim and his staff.

I had an amazing experience at 9 Elements Tattoos with Jim who took the time to really listen to what I was hoping for — a design that would help blend an existing scar into a beautiful floral piece featuring peonies.

The final result absolutely exceeded my expectations. Jim’s attention to detail and artistic talent brought the tattoo to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. The way he incorporated the scar into the design was incredibly thoughtful and seamless — I’m beyond grateful for the care and creativity Jim put into this piece. Highly recommend 9 Elements Tattoos and especially Jim!

Wow wow wow! I had been waiting to get my favourite anime character tattooed until I found the perfect artist for the piece and Jim absolutely killed this tattoo, his work is so incredibly beautiful and his talent knows no bounds. I would 100% recommend booking with him if you want some amazing artwork!
