Leila Willis Newton

Imagine your significant other smiling like the Cheshire Cat because she just got her first tattoo and she’s so happy that her face may indeed break…
That’s what you’ll get by stopping in at Southside and getting a tattoo from Leila. Though I have my fair share of lovely pieces from great artists throughout the States, my wife was a tattoo virgin, and Leila, no puns intended, was gentle with her.
She was very professional in giving her the best recommendations for the piece she wanted (a long leaf pine), working with the vision that my wife already had, and creating the piece that went above and beyond our expectations for being walk-​in customers.
Her professionalism and artistry will be something that my wife can enjoy for the rest of her life! Don’t believe me? Just look at this smiling face…

Got a Texas style «Don’t tread on me» snake by the beautiful Leila and she took my idea and absolutely ran with it. She is very professional, creative, and it was nice being tattooed by a lovely young woman.
I was so impressed I ended up asking her to do a sheepdog concept I was pondering and she brought it to life across my thigh. Busy shop, but some pretty impressive and hard workers. Would and have recommended her and Southside many times and everyone has left super satisfied.
