I was first introduced to Sunny's work through her IG. After seeing how she perfectly captured the…read moreanatomy of butterflies and month, I felt confident that she would be able do the same for beetles. After submitting the online inquiry form and messaging Sunny, I quickly received a response and an estimated cost. To my surprise, she has always wanted do beetle tattoos and was excited to work with me. Since it was my first tattoo, I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. However, Sunny's friendliness and the store's calming ambiance made me feel reassured and surprisingly comfortable. From reference pictures to stenciling, Sunny walked me through each step and ensure all the details of the darkling beetles were included. Furthermore, before the initial outlining, other artists in the store were asked to double check the stencil (flow, composition, etc). 3 hours quickly passed and I got my first 3 beetle tattoos done on my forearm. It didn't hurt too bad because I was enjoying the nerdy beetle conversation with Sunny. After the tattoos were wrapped up, Sunny gave me a run down on the after-care routine and what to expect during the healing process. In the end, I am so glad that I went to Sunny from My Tattoo for the beetle tattoos. This is why I am having Sunny finishing a full beetle sleeve on my left arm.

In all honesty, I was nervous, but he was so helpful by informing me what he was doing and how he was going to count down once he pierced the areas. His voice was calm and reassuring, which made my experience amazing. He has been the first piercer who truly loves what they do, not just based on what they say but with their actions, too. Ven definitely cares about his clients and their experience. Ven's workstation was very sanitary, clean, and organized. The tattoo spot was clean and sanitary. My sister's tattoo artist did a great job since she was very happy with the results. I definitely recommend Ven and the rest of the staff was nice and chill. My tragus piercings healed nicely, and I went back about a month later to get me piercings and a few months later I got 4 earlobe piercings.

We made the surprising discovery that we both speak Italian! For this part of the world, that's a unique thing to have in common! So fun! I can't stop looking at my tattoo. It is exactly how I imagined it. I will absolutely be going back to Charlot in the future and highly recommend her for your next (or first!) tattoo!

She had added warm colors to the piece, and I had honestly forgot it was a cover up in the first place (the small Pochacco tattoo in big space). Additionally, she had touched up my Ace of Hearts tattoo (also done by her), and got two new tattoos! The fern leaf seen beside the Ace of Hearts and the Stegosaurus on my forearm. After our session, she had given me a goodie bag of A&D for healing my tattoos, a lollipop, and a really nice smelling freshener for my car. Along with second skin on top of the tattoos to heal. Working with Cambria these past few years have been amazing. I love the art she creates and I'm happy to adorn four pieces of them on my body like a walking canvas AND to have a custom painting of my dog (done by her) on my wall. Throughout each tattoo session she constantly checks on me and asks how I'm doing, she's not heavy handed, and she has such a calming presence which helps keep me calm. Sessions with her aren't just "ink therapy," it really is just a great time catching up with someone. She's an artist I trust wholeheartedly with creative decision because she talks you through the process each step of the way. I'm so glad to be part of her artist journey too in the safe space she's created.

It's always special when you are well cared for, by nice people with a positive, fun attitude. Sarah knows how to keep things safe, clean, and fun, which is super important when getting a tattoo. Highly recommended to book your appointment with Discordia before she becomes super popular... and when it happens, she deserves it. Tell her Frankie said you have got to go (by appt only...) might not get you anything to mention me, but i love supporting local businesses, and great artists.
