If you feel like you made the wrong decision during the election season, at least you know you can try again in a few years. The same can’t be said once you’ve been to a tattoo shop. But if you work with the artists at Wave Street Art Collective, you’ll have nothing to worry about. Owner Raul Suarez and the other artists at Wave Street specialize in everything from photorealism and portraits to black-and-white and Japanese-style tattoos. Their styles and talent are showcased on the walls of the shop with huge paintings, prints and murals. Suarez and his team have been providing both locals and tourists with permanent body art for nearly seven years. “We are a good shop, and we are really good artists. If you can find a good artist with a good personality it’s a big thing. Especially in the world of tattoos,” Suarez says.
