More than a few years back I had some work done - some mountains on my shoulder - that I was not happy with... at all. A few years later I got it reworked over a few sessions and it looked better, but it still wasn't great. I had more or less given up, resigning myself to a tattoo that looked like nothing I wanted and that I would always have to explain as a mistake. It sucked. Fast forward to the summer of '18. I had moved to NC from UT a couple years earlier. I started contacting artists in Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville. I sent pictures of what I had and described what I was looking for. Most places never returned my message or call and if they did they more or less said, "I can make it look better, but it will never look like you want". Then I messaged Mike. A day or two later I got a very enthusiastic message saying he would love to work on it and he was confident he could make it look a lot better. We exchanged messages and eventually discussed it over the phone. I came down to Charlotte (still cautions in my optimism). Again, he was supremely confident that he could make it happen. I set up an appointment and went in. My appointment took most of the day, but time flew by. I was more nervous than anything (this was my last chance), which made me more squirmy than normal, but Mike was super patient and kept telling me it was going to be fine. We chatted all day about everything under the sun, told some jokes, watched some TV, enjoyed some Korean food during breaks... all while he worked through a back injury to fix my tattoo. As it turns out, he was 100% right. Not only did he fix the piece, he exceeded my expectations. It was truly incredible. I could not have been happier with the outcome, with what he could do. There is often an intense sense of appreciation when someone does good work on your body bc it ain't going anywhere, but when someone fixes something that has been there for years that you weren't proud of... man, I can't thank Mike enough. Mike even followed up and asked how things were healing. He genuinely cared about the work. He wanted me to be happy. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Go here to get your tattoos.

I can't recommend Paris Tattoos highly enough. Paris is an incredibly talented artist with an…read moreamazing eye for color. The way he blends and layers colors creates a piece that is vibrant, detailed, and unlike anything I've seen. From the first consultation to the finished tattoo, he was professional, patient, and made the entire experience comfortable.

I specifically went for a traveling artist that was in town from Paris but the work of the other artist I saw was really Amazing. Wide range of different style- they said they have an artist to do any style you want and that was one of the things they seemed very proud of. All the staff were very kind and personable, not something that always happens in a tattoo spot. It wasn't overly loud with head banging music which I also appreciate. The a lot was very clean and professional. The artist that did my pieces absolutely killed it. I will have to post photos once they have healed.
