What an incredible experience! Sumina is a talented artist who centers her clients. I sought her out because she showed up as the best tattoo artist on Google, and her portfolio showcases her range, which cannot be narrowed down to one style.
She did a medium-sized tattoo on my thigh with a mix of detailed realism and abstract figures. She is a professional with her artwork, attention to detail, collaboration and sanitary work. Her space is clean and I appreciate her no shoes in the tattoo shop policy.
I had reached out to her with a concept. She was great at communicating and collaborating on the idea. I was stunned looking at her final design. She incorporated my ideas into her artistry. I have several tattoos from all over the world, but this one is my favorite. I appreciate that she gave me all the time at the appointment to try different stencil versions and made recommendations but kept telling me that ultimately I should go with my gut.
She is also a workhorse. Despite such detail, she tattooed me straight for almost 3 hours. It is a bonus that she is such a friendly person. She gave me pointers on new Nepali music and trekking spots. She discussed the history of the tattoo scene in Nepal. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable and such a delight. I loved getting to know her.
I can’t wait to get another tattoo from her. Thank you, Sumina!

Cleanliness, professionalism, and kindness are the first things you notice when you enter her studio. Then you discover she's an extraordinary artist who can transform into a tattoo what you can barely explain to your mind. Truly an extraordinary experience and an amazing value. Thanks again for everything ❤️.

Sumina @ Suminu Tattoo was so amazing, it was my very first tattoo and she was so kind with her time making sure every detail was perfect to my liking and even incorporated elements of my own drawing ideas into my tattoo and made it look beyond amazing. I am so happy with the result and I think I'll be coming back on my next visit! Thank you so much ❤️
