"I've been going to LOVE Machine for about 3 years now and couldn't recommend this place enough. All the staff and performers are incredible and very friendly. The new place is amazing, very clean and inviting. Denis worked on my sleeve and is an amazing artist. Truly the best. I also think it's important to note that artists love what they do and take great pride in their work. I won't go anywhere else. I would give them 6 stars if I could."
