NOMINATIONS HAVE BEGUN!

If you’re into these kinds if things, a vote for ACALA TATTOO would be appreciated.

We’ve been TOP 3 for the past few years, but the fact is, there are many talented artists and shops in the Syracuse area. A merrit and skill based tier system would be more appropriate than a ranked system, in my opinion. The most ethical and most skilled doesn’t always win.

Regardless, ACALA TATTOO will always bring you World Class Art and a warm atmosphere.

Thank you for your consideration. 🙏🏼
