My friend and I had a bizarre experience here…read more We called ahead to confirm they did inner lip tattoos--they said yes and booked us for a week later. We arrived and filled out our forms. We were the only people in the waiting area and there were two employees sitting behind the counter. Eventually, a man (presumably our artist) came out, sat behind the counter, started eating pizza, and didn't acknowledge us. Without looking up, he said, "I'll take your money, but you're gonna be disappointed." At first we were confused and weren't even sure if he was talking to us. When we said we still wanted to try, he basically said we'd be stupid to get them--while repeating that he'd still happily take our money. He never introduced himself, never made eye contact, and seemed irritated by our presence . I have 21 tattoos and I really appreciate when an artist gives me advice and honestly, I appreciate that he was trying to warn us about wasting our money, but his hostility and lack of respect was a deal breaker. We ended up walking out because I didn't feel comfortable letting him tattoo us. All of this could have been avoided if they had simply told us they didn't want to do inner lip tattoos instead of letting us book. I wouldn't recommend going here unless your want to be ridiculed.

My wings were symmetrical and his certainly are not. One wing is pointed on the top, the other is not. No big deal, you'd think, however when I nicely called him to ask if he could fix it, he refused to stand behind his work and I'm Not surprised...I had an appointment scheduled and he canceled without notifying me. No courage I guess, as he sent a message through someone else. I've NEVER met an arstist that doesn't stand by his work. This is rather alarming. In my opinion, go to an experienced artist that stands by his artwork. That simple Wish I could post a picture for thoughts on his art.

He has always been the artist I feel comfortable referring my good friends and family members to. His business is very modern, warm and inviting, a sigh of relief for those who are new to being patrons of a tattoo shop. Whether you have never been, or have many pieces of body art already, it is a cut above the rest. His attention to cleanliness and proper precautions exceeds the board of health standards by a wide margin and he only uses first class materials and equipment which shows in his art.

First - the space is so comfy. The waiting room is cozy and the room where you actually get the tattoo done had everything you could need, homey touches but still extremely clean. There was soft TV playing in the background that you can easily ignore OR pay attention. Second - the art was just amazing. My tattoo took a while and was painful - which I knew it would be - but they really did everything to make it as easy and comfortable as possible. Included are my before and after photos.
