Manny is absolutely incredible! I’ve traveled to Chicago multiple times just to get tattooed by him, and I’ll gladly continue to do so. So far, he’s completed both of my sleeves, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. One of them matches a tattoo my mom has—also done by Manny—and the other started as just a rough idea I had. Manny took my concept and brought it to life in a way that far exceeded my expectations. His talent, creativity, and attention to detail are second to none!

Getting tattooed at Hidden Light has been an amazing experience. All of the staff are super nice and easy to work with; The shop is also very comfortable and clean! Manny is my artist for my Black and Grey Realism sleeve based around my time in the Marine Corps. The level of detail Manny is able to get in his tattoo work is insane!! I cannot imagine another artist that could capture the level of detail he did on the cannon and cannon crew on my inner bicep; Truly surreal. All of the work has healed over very nicely as well. I've had around 4-5 sessions with Manny and my next session finishes my sleeve with him. I can definitely say I'll be back for more work!! Personal side note: I had a black eye on tattooing after the artist that was originally working on my sleeve stopped responding to me after the first session and disappeared. Manny restored my faith in tattooing and made me feel comfortable and confident every step of the way on this project.

I took a leap of faith and messaged Mackenzie after finding her work through Instagram, and I am ecstatic to say I have found my girl! I had a very specific idea I wanted done: three Polaroid frames of my corgis with a whimsical touch, and she delivered beautifully. I get compliments on it ALL the time when I go out. I have since worked with her to fill in that arm and more than ten tattoos later with her, I still revel in her crisp, clean lines and attention to detail. With each piece she's done, she gets better and better and I am always looking forward to the next piece!

Mike was one of the first guys who ever tattooed me. I’ve never had a bad experience when getting tattooed by him. I followed Mike to 3 different shops. From large tattoos to small Mike was always ultra professional and majorly talented. Look forward to my next one with him in Chicago someday.”

Manny is an unbelievable artist. He takes his time from the collaboration, the placement of the stencils, to the overall piece. He has done 2 medium to large pieces on me and I am booking my next!!
