left in tears...OF OVERWHELMING EMOTIONAL HAPPINESS!!!!…read more I had been carrying around a heavy heart and desperately needed to release the anger somehow. I had been playing around w getting a tattoo and this just felt like the right moment. i looked up local female tattoo artists on yelp and up popped Carpe Diem. 5 minutes later I was at the shop talking to the owner who quoted me a reasonable price and promptly introduced me to Saint. She took a copy of my inspo pic and got to work on the stencil. she came back with 3 sizes to give me a choice..how thoughtful was that?!! I chose the largest size and she got right to work. She made me feel comfortable as she worked on my shoulder and we chatted about life and love. i couldn't even tell you how long it took as i was so relaxed in her presence, metal playing in the background, feeling my anger slowly fade away with each stroke of the needle. She started a color count down, letting me know she was almost done. that's when the tears started. I swear it wasn't from the pain!! it was just from the exhilaration of being done and the release of anger. I practically ran to the mirror to see the finished artwork. OOOOH MAN, that's when the waterworks really started. i was just overwhelmed with how beautiful my tattoo was, the colors, the shape the placement, THE DETAIL. words cannot explain just how in awe i was (and still am 24 hours later). If you are on the fence , don't give it another thought. Get to Carpe Diem, ask for Saint today!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience at Gee Ink Tattoo! After I submitted a consultation…read morerequest, my tattoo artist, Cici, reached out to me with thoughtful guidance and helpful insights about the design I wanted. From the very beginning, she was warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to help bring my vision to life. My appointment was seamless, comfortable, and far less painful than I expected. Cici took the time to carefully discuss the placement and every intricate detail of my custom design, making sure it would complement my style perfectly. Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft were evident throughout the entire process. When I saw the finished tattoo, I was beyond amazed--it turned out even more beautiful than I had imagined. Cici is an incredibly talented and gifted artist, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I can't wait to return to Gee Ink Tattoo for future tattoos and their special events. Thank you, Cici, and the entire Gee Ink Tattoo team, for such a wonderful experience. I truly appreciate everything you did and am grateful from the bottom of my heart. Highly recommend!

I found Sansa at Baron Art Studio by looking through hundreds of Instagram tattoo artist. I found her work to be what I was looking for I designed some of the tattoo myself with the help of AI and then I reached out to Sansa to share my idea. She then worked with me to make it a reality. She added some of her own touches which I loved and adopted. I am so unbelievably grateful and impressed with her professionalism and high quality work Thank you so much for making this tattoo an amazing piece of art I can carry with me. If I get anymore tattoos I will be working with Sansa again.

Also, I called in the second time to reschedule my appointment and it was a quick process. I came in to get my first piercing. My piercer was Joslyn and she was super and kind and definitely made me feel comfortable the whole time. I wasn't too knowledgeable on how the healing process was like or what downsizing meant, but Joslyn explained it very well. She also was very patient when we were figuring out the exact placement had no problem moving around the placement until I liked it. The overall vibes were really good and I can see why this place is highly rated. I felt comfortable and felt taken care of. Maybe I'll get a tattoo here next time :)

She spent $1000 for her piece and it looks like her tattoo is about 10 to 15 years old. It looks more faded in the person than this picture that I post . It's still beautiful, but I think it wasn't enough ink deep enough in the skin.

My friend and I were looking around for a tattoo shop for our first tattoos. We walked into Oni…read moreTattoo on Saturday and Sam @tatt.chi was able to take my friend. He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.

The piercer who originally did it had pierced it incorrectly, and the L-shaped stud was bent, which was causing all the irritation.

Hopefully, now that the actual problem has been fixed, it can finally heal the way it's supposed to. IM SO HAPPY now 10/10
