I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Beauty Mark! It was recommended to me…read moreby a friend's son--specifically, Rachel (Snowflake) was the artist who did his tattoo. I was impressed by the exactness and went in for a consultation. Rachel was extremely professional (and well-inked!). I shared with her printouts of my desired tattoos and, because she is also a fine artist, she made suggestions as to how she would like to alter the designs to improve them. After seeing her work online, I totally felt comfortable with her suggestions. We made an appointment for 3 weeks in the future and I left a deposit. On the day of my appointment, I was a little nervous, but excited. This was not my first tattoo (I have two earlier ones from about 20 years ago--the artist has retired, hence my search). Rachel showed me her designs. The first was a Phoenix and her alterations were superb! For the second tattoo, I changed my mind and showed her the new version which she happily updated. Again, Rachel was extremely accommodating, placed the stencils and I was most pleased with the Phoenix. The sun and sea tattoo needed a little adjustment, but we arrived at an excellent solution. The tattooing process was a bit more painful than my previous experiences based on the location--ankles are like that!--but Rachel was most gentle and proceeded in a way that was the least uncomfortable to me. The results were beautiful! I was so pleased with her work! They took far less time than we expected, so the cost was less than I anticipated. Rachel was very careful to explain the care of my new tattoos and provided me with her business card to contact her in case I was concerned about the healing process. I would highly recommend Rachel for an excellent tattoo experience--the quality, artistry, experience and results were superb. Thank you, Rachel!!!

I went to see Snowflake for a tattoo last year- I basically just gave her a list of things I liked…read moreand she drew up a cute little tattoo. I went back recently to have my eyebrows microbladed by her and I'm thrilled with my results. I've been treated nicely by everyone in this shop and I've been more than ecstatic about the quality of the work I've gotten here. The other reviews seem a little childish- speak up and communicate with your artist... they're not mind readers.

The shop as a whole is pretty clean, but it's large and there seems to be no privacy - you literally walk in and out of other people's stations. I went to see Kayla twice, which I gave some consideration to being that she is newly taking paying clients and finished her apprenticeship. I in no way was expecting perfect work. Her work is good. Some of the lines on both tattoos were graying after two weeks and disconnected. A bit of the color shading blew out but not terribly. I dislike that she would touch things with gloves on and than not change them and not all of her equipment was wrapped. So that's definitely something to consider. Especially when touching things without changing gloves you usually want those things wrapped at least. My other issue is going in for a touch up she refused to do a full touch up. She fixed the shaky and disconnected lines, but not the lines where color was faded which is a big part of a touch up. I got different excuses as to why the lines were grey that didn't make sense. Half the lines are grey and half are the dark black they should be. Even looking now again after the touch up a few lines that weren't fully connected we're missed. When going in for a touch up I expect a full touch up mostly because I'm not paying for a touch up so instead of wasting material fix it all in one go but also it's just more of a hassle to go in more than once for a touch up. I support new artists often and usually have much better experiences with newly tattooing people because they want to build clientele. Usually they are more cautious, cleanly, and particular about their work. That wasn't really my experience here. *in the photo you can see which 5 lines were touched up and all the ones that were not and needed to be. Also added my sisters which needed a full touch up but only had a few lines fixed.*

Due to her (well deserved) popularity the appointment was a ways out but it was well worth it. She works so fast and efficiently and is a delight to chat with. I now have two tattoos by her with a ton more planned and scheduled. The shop itself is lovely and clean. The front desk staff is lovely, and the bathrooms are well stocked with hairties and menstrual products. All the carts have snacks ready to go for the light headed. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

They will require a deposit to book, which is very standard practice.
