She was rude and pretty much gets paid to sit there and talk with her friend who also seemed to "work" there. She then proceeded to "mess up" and told the piercing guy that the woman who came in after us was next. She wasted our time and on top of it was completely useless. Eff this place- stay away unless you are truly desperate otherwise be prepared to wait, be ignored, and probably not get served anyway. Glad Harrigan left. They deserve to close and let the space be used by people who care about the work they do.

I got a tattoo recently. My first. This is shocking to me still because I've turned this idea over…read morein my head for years. The conclusion was always the same. No. Can't do it. Then, an important occasion came up and I thought, why not memorialize it with a tattoo? Suddenly, the "no" became a "why not?" Then, the next question. Where to have this tat done? Well, if you look it up on Yelp, The Dead Presidents Lounge has rave reviews. So I called up. Next, I was asked to email what I was looking for. The manager took a look at my request and assigned me to an artist named Mel. There are about 10 artists working there. The art that I was asking for was very delicate. It turns out, Mel is awesome but full disclosure, she has a slogan. It's written on a sign in her tattoo room. "Always late but worth the wait." I arrived 15 minutes early. Mel arrived 20 minutes late. No worries. I brought lunch and ate it in the waiting area. I studied all of the sample tattoos on the walls. It was an interesting place with a Hindu vibe. It was explained to me that the business owner is Hindu. When Mel showed up, she arrived in a cheerful burst of energy and she immediately threw herself into the project. She presented me with options. We talked at length. She was very determined to deliver what I was looking for and very understanding. She has mad skills as both an artist and a communicator. She got it. And when she was done, it was perfect. A floral armband with a tiny blue butterfly was designed to look a bit like arm jewelry. The cost was $200. Mel was concerned that I would be in pain but actually it didn't hurt much. She gave me instructions on how to take care of the tattoo so that it doesn't get infected or dry out. As I was getting ready to leave I asked Mel about her thoughts on Asian fantasy animals. She smiled. "So you're already thinking about your next tattoo?" she asked. " I get that a lot." Yup. She got me. After years of putting off getting a tattoo, I may be back soon enough to get a tattoo on my other arm. Thanks, Mel and The Dead Presidents Lounge for your remarkable work.

I had an incredible experience at Last Nerve Tattoo. The whole shop has such a calm, professional,…read moreand genuinely welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. My artist, Lyndsay, is the definition of patience and talent. She's technically amazing (my tattoo healed perfectly) but what really stood out was how kind and down-to-earth she is. When I mentioned I was trying to love my arms more, she immediately said, "As you should!" With a smile. That one line completely changed how I felt in that moment. She let me adjust the stencil as many times as I needed, told me she was there to match my vibe whether I wanted to chat or just zone out, and made the whole experience feel collaborative and fun. Talented talented talented! I am blown away by my beautiful piece. Micah, the shop owner, was just as wonderful! You can tell they really care about the environment and the people who work and get tattooed there. Everything about this place feels intentional and filled with good energy. I left not just with a tattoo I adore, but with a real sense of confidence and appreciation for myself.

So I called a few times and got a call back and they were all booked but then Mickey personally called me and said she would open up the shop on a Sunday just to do my tattoo for my birthday. I mean, come one! That's customer service to a new height!! She kept in touch w me via text throughout the week and on my actual birthday ( the day before) she text me and wished me a happy birthday. When I got there I explained how I have a tendency to pass out on occasions but she was really careful and kept making sure I was okay and drinking my water. It was perfect. She was so kind and professional and she was quick and gave me exactly what I wanted. Even had good music playing while I was there so I sang to myself to keep my mind off of the sting haha. Can I give the store and Mickey 10 stars!? Because I most certainly will. Haha. Thank you Monarch! I will forever vouch for your business!!
