“Sarah is a magician with the needle. I went for my first tattoo and she did such a wonderful job — I was nervous about the artwork but she absolutely nailed it.”
“So glad I had the opportunity to work with Sarah. I went back and forth with her with rambling ideas and she brought the whole thing together beautifully.”
“I love this spot — spacious, bright, high energy and artistic. The manager is super friendly, always offering water or assistance.”

Can I walk in for a tattoo with Sarah Johnson?
Walk-ins are welcome at Yes Electric when the day has room, especially for flash or smaller custom tattoos. Larger illustrative, botanical or colour pieces are better booked ahead so there is time for design and placement.

How should I prepare for a colour or illustrative tattoo?
Bring references for the subject and the feeling you want, not just a single image to copy. Arrive rested, hydrated and fed, and avoid sunburn on the area before the appointment so the colour and linework can settle cleanly.
