22 years ago (exactly half our lifetime) my future husband and I made a memory at Ancient Art. I am…read moreso excited that Ancient Art is still going strong. Anyways, at the age of 44, my husband's first tattoo is still standing tall, still receiving compliments. It never has been touched up, still all original. Such a great tribute to our young and wild youth every time I look at his beautiful tattoo. Thanks Ancient Art!! Peace, Love, and ((HUGS)) 22 years later!

I walked into to this tattoo shop looking to make an appointment for my first tattoo. I showed the…read moreartist what I wanted and was told that it was stupid and he would not do it where I wanted it to be. I was really taken aback but told him that I still wanted it and would be willing to make an appointment. He then wouldn't let me make an appointment and said I could try walking in every day to see if he could take me. I decided to leave and go to Rarely Suspect instead and was met with a much better appreciation.

Shaun did my first tattoo 14 years ago. It is a beautiful mermaid on my left forearm. I now live on…read morethe west cost and will not be traveling east for quite some time (id ever), but I felt that my mermaid needed a refresh after all of these years. I went to the TOP tattoo parlor in San Diego for the refresh and the highly experienced tattoo artist that did the work could not get over what a great job Shaun had done and how well it had stayed. Other tattoo artists at the studio kept dropping in and marveling at it. These are people with ten to twenty years experience. Shaun was great from my first inquiry right through the final session and I HIGHLY recommend him for any work you want or need.

I was very impressed with the shading, and thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we had while getting worked on. He worked really fast as well! Very friendly staff, and for me it was more than just getting a tattoo, it was an experience I will never forget.

I previously had my septum done and had perfect placement. Unfortunately, this time it was placed way below where I initially had it as well as just being crooked. Once I got home I immediately had to take it out due to discomfort and the placement being so unaligned. Additionally, my friend had gotten her third lobes pierced which weren't even the slightest bit symmetrical. The piercer was very friendly but unfortunately not efficient.
