I got my first tattoo here last weekend, and it is safe to say I will never be back. I went with a…read moregroup of three other people, and we had made an appointment over a month ahead of time. On the day of the appointment, we received a call from the shop to come in as soon as possible, three hours before our appointment. When we arrived, an exacerbated worker approached my group and asked: "Who has the fern tattoo?", to which I raised my hand. The girl showed me one of the reference pictures I had sent and aggressively told me "This is not a small tattoo, and it will take me close to two and a half hours for this." This confused me as we had booked a large slot of time and two artists for our group. The tattoo I asked for was only around 5 inches long and simple line work. I explained to her that there was a second reference photo along with the first, and that the description explained what I wanted in detail. (We found out later that the shop had not received all of our pictures and descriptions that we had sent weeks before. This included my second reference photo and description. Yet they had failed to tell us that they were not received.) She stomped away and printed out a stencil, not taking any time to tweak the drawing or ask about specifics with me. She brought it back to me and held it up to my arm and asked what I thought. The stencil was on the side of my arm, and I couldn't see the full thing without a mirror. I tried looking down at it, and about 10 seconds later she loudly huffed and angrily told me to go look in the mirror around the corner, to which she had not pointed out before. I felt super rushed looking at the stencil as she glared at me like I was inconveniencing her in some way. It was the size that I wanted so I approved. A few minutes later, the set up was ready and she told me to go sit in the chair while she prepped my arm. I made a small tweak to the design once the stencil was on my arm, and we started. I later searched up that Melissa (the shop owner) was the artist who printed my stencil and did my tattoo. She barely talked to me during the whole tattoo, as she was too busy chatting with one of her employees. About 20 minutes later, she was done. This seemed fairly quick to me, but as this was my tattoo I didn't question it. Filled with adrenaline, I didn't really see the messy lines, and I approved the tattoo. She put on the "second skin", and didn't cover it completely, not covering a branch of the fern. When my group was done and it was time to pay, she told me the tattoo would cost $250 (wow!). I took off the second skin a few days later, and was met with a hot mess. Rushed shaky lines, splotchy leaves, and even missing spots in the branches. We had spoken about the fern not looking "bold", but I had unfortunately assumed that did not mean "you can rush with this tattoo, and scribble on leaves with no thought or manner!". I attempted to contact the shop by their number listed online, left a voicemail, and I have not yet received a response. I'm unfortunately going to have to get it touched up or even covered due to its poor quality. I would have much rather been turned away or rescheduled then having a poor quality tattoo permanently on my arm. I would not recommend Artisan Ink, and I would avoid this buisness if you're not looking for a rushed, overpriced tattoo!

The Absolute BEST I…read morewas recommended to Chris and Raven Tattoo by a friend, and going to him has been the absolute best tattoo experience ever! He went above and beyond throughout-- beginning with the design consult where he helped me realize the vision I had for my first large back piece. I have gotten several smaller pieces over the years at other places all over the country and can attest that Chris and Pink Raven are the best across the board. Best Artist with amazing attention to detail, Best personality, most fun to work with, Best shop -- which is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Chris has a very chill and professional vibe. I felt completely confident and relaxed from start to finish. But the best part of all was my finished piece- which is amazing and waaay better than I even dreamed it would be. Anyone considering their first tat or some major ink work should NOT go anywhere else. Thank you Chris! See you again soon! - Robb G.
