I am beyond impressed with Sandys work! My boyfriend has gone to her for his sleeve tattoos and more and I was always blown away with how fantastic they looked, so I decided to head to her for my most recent tattoo. The tattoo shop is unique, as it is located in a train station.There is a myriad of artwork, posters and collectibles on the walls giving the whole place a quirky, nostalgic vibe, while making me right at home. The atmosphere is tranquil, making it easy to relax during a painful tattoo. Sandy is great; super friendly and made sure I loved every aspect of my tattoo before we got started. I had emailed her a picture earlier to give her a general idea of what I wanted and she took it and ran with it, creating a breathtakingly beautiful design. She ensured that I was comfortable while she was tattooing me and I am definitely satisfied with the final result. Ive seen more of her other work and she is just as fabulous and skilled at black/line tattoos as she is with color. I am certainly going to Sandy for future tattoos and would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I havent even been here yet, but because Sandy has done my first two tattoos, Im following her here, and I know I will have a GREAT experience here! In December, I am coming in with my best friend and we are getting tattoos together by Sandy. Sandy is such a great person to talk to/consult with. Shell try and make you happy, but also tell you straight up if she recommends not doing something, which I really like. Honestly, I cant wait to come in and see her again! Through email, she has told me great things about this shop and how she loves the people she works with. I cant wait to visit the shop!

Its a charming place with a lot of great art and a comfortable atmosphere. You know youve found something wonderful hidden in a quirky space as soon as the hustle of the train station disappears behind the closed door. I have three wonderful pieces from Sandy and was thrilled to follow her here. Every tattoo has been a singularly pleasant experience and Im already planning another reason to stop in!

The shop is decorated in a very visually pleasing, eclectic way. The tattoo area is extremely clean and sanitary. Sandy did my tattoo, and I am extremely happy with the result. Her line work is excellent, and the value for the price charged cant be beat. I will definitely be returning.

Absolutely love my new tattoos from Sandy. She is an awesome artist...very creative and talented. I cant say enough about how great she is. Would highly recommend your next tattoo be done with Sandy at Hydra Electric Tattoo...its a very cool little shop in the train station!

Sandy was amazing. It was my first tattoo and she talked me through the everything. She answered all of my questions and made the atmosphere as comfortable as possible so that I would be at ease. She did fantastic, beautiful work and I would go back again in a heartbeat!

Custom tattoos in the Sailor Jerry style I sent Joel a picture of the mermaid I wanted and he made honest critiques of what would and wouldnt work for my skin tone. I will be going back for another one with Joel soon.

Best tattoo experience ever! Joel did a fantastic job. I didnt feel uncomfortable at all, he answered questions, gave suggestions and made it a truly individual experience. I will definitely be going back for more.
