"Nevada is equal shares talented tattoo artist and beautiful soul…"
"She worked with me to make sure my tattoo was exactly what I wanted, down to the last detail. There is definitely a reason that her books are frequently full, and if you have the opportunity to schedule a piece with Nevada, I can’t urge you enough to take that shot! Especially if you are a Ghibli lover!!"
- Ally Dougherty
"I can't wait to get on the books again."
"Nevada is one of the kindest people I've ever met and makes your tattoo session not only relaxed and comfortable, but fun and an experience you look forward to! Plus, her work is so beautiful and I love showing her tattoos off!"

"My fiancé and I drove all the way from NJ to both get tattooed and I can't recommend the shop and Nevada enough!!"
"Such a beautiful interior and incredibly clean - the vibes are cozy, inviting, and inspiring. Aside from our photo, masks were worn for the entire time which made us feel so comfortable. Nevada gave us everything we asked for and more! I found Nevada through Instagram, as I was looking for someone to do an Old Kingdom tattoo. Her love for the books and beautiful tattooing style stole my heart. It was so easy to contact her to make my appointment, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We have gotten non-stop compliments on our pieces! We're already planning a trip back to get more work done - we love Ritual Residue!"
-Jennifer Rogers
"This is a wonderful little shop run by some of the most talented artists and kindest people around."
"Nevada and Carlos make the shop feel safe and homey, and can bring your tattoo ideas to life in the best ways possible. I can't recommend Ritual Residue and Nevada and Carlos's work (and as wonderful people) enough."
-Amanda Kline
"I honestly cannot recommend them enough!"
"Nevada and Carlos have created a perfect little safe space in their new shop, Ritual Residue. My tattoos from Nevada are GORGEOUS, I have always felt so welcomed and comfortable in their shop, and being tattooed in this space has been my best tattooing experience."
