Finding Kingdom Ink

Kingdom Ink works out of Suite 16 in the Salon Lofts building on Cooper Creek Blvd in University Park. The building sits by I-75 exit 213 at University Parkway, in the busy UTC area between downtown Sarasota and Bradenton, so it is an easy drive from most of the Suncoast.

Salon Lofts is a building of private studio suites rather than one big shop floor. Jose works alone in his, by appointment, so you have the room and his full attention for your whole session. Once he confirms your time, your confirmation email has the address and a directions link for the day.
