Caitlyn is professional, accommodating and very lovely, I came across the booth she had at the horror con which she was booked solid for, I was grateful she was able booked me for a few days later. While her parlor is small it's was very clean and well decorated. Everything was very sanitary as well. If your looking for fine line tattoos or black and white I'd definitely recommend her.

After following Caitlyn for years, I finally got a tattoo from her! Not only is the tattoo perfect and exactly what I hoped for, she was so sweet and made me feel so comfortable! I feel like I could have chatted with her for hours! I’m already excited to get another tattoo from her!!

Obsidian is very clean and very personable! My friend and I got two of Caitlyn’s flashes and it was an overall great experience with great quality work! Caitlyn was gentle and has a keen eye for detail and perfection for your tattoos and truly comes across as wanting you to walk away loving your new piece of art. I will for sure be coming back to get more done here:)
