The Artist
One shop. One standard.
Angry Raven is Nash’s shop from the sign on the roof to the needle in his hand. From Nordic blackwork to color realism, every piece that leaves the chair carries the same obsession — reviewers talk about him staying open late until the design is right.
That is how a single-artist shop on W Waters Ave ends up with 299 Google reviews and not a single one below five stars.

“Got my cover-up done here after two other shops said it could not be saved. You would never know there was anything underneath it. Worth every penny.”
