Here's the thing about me. Sometimes I can be all talk and…read moreno action. In fact, I've been slated to go 3 different times to get tattoos with friends, and each time I've bailed. BAH. So, when having family visit from out of town who were desperate to get tattoos with me, I figured if we were going to do it, we'd go close to home. White Lotus was the spot of choice, and a decent one at that. Staff is beyond friendly, welcoming and eager to assist. We met with Dave who gave us a rundown of the place, provided us with rates and allowed us to make an appointment for a later date and email him what we wanted tattooed. Rates range depending on the size, shape, design level and location of the piece - but going rates start at $150/hour - which in the limited research I've done, seems reasonable. On the day of, the girls were eager to get their ink, while I found myself nervous beyond belief. A young woman (her name escapes me now) helped to ensure me everything was going to be okay, that she was there to walk me through it and gave me sound advice when it came to size, shape and locations of the tattoo. Just before she started the first line, I realized I wasn't ready for something permanently on my body and asked to stop. She was gracious and said it was no problem - as many people have this reaction. I paid her for her time but walked away inkless! I'll admit, the attention to detail, line quality and overall end result looked great on our guests - and they left happy! Whenever I'm "ready" for a tattoo or another piercing - I'll head to White Lotus!

I came into De La Ink for a Fine Line detailed hummingbird and sunflower that was a memorial piece…read more 1st photo is my request. Damion ASSURED me he was great with fine lines and that he could ABSOLUTELY knock this out of the park for me. I gave him a chance, regrettably. My 4 year old granddaughter can draw finer lines than Damion. We proceeded and as he started with "details" I could see that it was going downhill. I was hopeful that he had unexpected tricks up his sleeve. We finished it and I paid him, but he was not deserving of $1! After getting home and really looking at it and seeing the look on faces of family and friends, I reached out and told him my dislikes and he told me to give him a chance and he would gladly touch it up and get the details I wanted. That was a mistake, all he did was pile on more thick lines and more color. I was left with a UGLY tattoo that stayed scabbed, infected and scarred my arm! After numerous conversations with Damion, he did refund my money in full, and said he will MAKE THIS RIGHT! He had me go to "his guy" for a laser removal consultation. That was a disaster in itself. Damion then agreed to use "MY GUY " and he would send me payments each month to cover the cost. He ended up sending me 3 small payments then ghosted me. I spent $2,000 to get this disaster removed and another $1,000 to get it covered! Please remember to always vet your tattoo artists! Damion says he has 14 years experience, however my new artist is only 4 years out of her apprenticeship and blows him out of the water!

Dedication is a traditional tattoo shop on South Broadway.They're open 7 days a week. You can…read morerequest a free consultation and make an appointment, or if you can walk in on a whim. I only have a few tattoos, and usually the ones I have some type of significance. When my grandpa passed a few years ago, I knew I wanted to get something to honor him. He taught me how to drive, owned over 100 cars, and loved driving more than anything, so I figured a car would be a great way to memorialize him. Matty was the artist to bring my idea to life. He designed a mid to late 60's mustang with florals and a silhouette of my grandpa in the driver's seat. I was in love with the design as soon as he unveiled it. Based on the placement I wanted the piece on my arm I had to lay down in an awkward position, but Matty worked quickly and tattooed delicately. I couldn't be any happier with the finished product! As far as the shop is concerned, everyone was super polite. It can be intimidating walking into a tattoo shop, and you can tell they cultivated an environment for all here. I would get tattooed by Matty any day and will recommend Dedication to anyone I know looking for some new ink!

A True Professional -- Ian Is the Artist You Can Trust…read more My husband and I both got tattooed by Ian, and the experience proved exactly why he deserves real recognition in this industry. His professionalism, skill, and attention to detail are on another level. Ian didn't just tattoo us -- he made sure we understood the process, felt comfortable, and got exactly what we envisioned. One thing we really appreciated was how personal and down-to-earth he is. Ian took the time to talk with us, share his journey, and show the dedication it took for him to get where he is today. That kind of passion shows in his work -- clean lines, beautiful execution, and tattoos we are genuinely proud to wear. We left completely satisfied and confident that we found our artist. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also humble, focused, and truly committed to his craft, Ian is that artist. We won't be going anywhere else. Thank you, IAN Highly recommend.

Avoid getting tattooed by Gabbi at all costs…read more I had the unfortunate luck of having Gabbi do my tattoo. I had walked in and asked for an umbrella tattoo about 3in in length. It was a simple design, just an umbrella with rain drops dropping underneath it with the actual umbrella being blacked in with some white drops inside. I had to ask her to redraw it a couple times to have the design simplified. Once we got to the tattooing I noticed the lines seemed to be wobbly and some weren't even connected but I thought maybe it was because of the angle I was looking from... the rain drops turned out to be blobs and the lines were disconnected, wobbly, and some were just forgotten completely. She wasn't able to draw a straight line to save her life and the droplets were different sizes and turned in odd directions. When I actually saw the finished product in the mirror and realized she was done my heart had dropped. I was so speechless I had left in a hurry and sat in my car for an hour taking pictures of it to see if it actually looked that horrid. I immediately called another tattoo place in desperation and had them look at it and they were shocked at the work. I had to wait for it to heal and thought about getting it removed but then I went to a shop called Tank Tattoo South and met Cody. The whole shop was there for me and was shocked at the ironic name of the tattoo shop (Lady Luck). He fixed the lines, shaded it in and added some clouds for some pizzazz. Please save your money and stress by avoiding and refusing Gabbi. Frankly, she shouldn't tattoo anyone ever.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Nick did my tattoo and made the process so easy…read moreand memorable. I really feel like he actually cared about it and didn't see it as just another tattoo on another person. He took his time helping me design my vision and gave great advice and suggestions when I asked. I never felt he rushed any of it. It turned out even better than I could've imagined. This tattoo is in honor of my grandmother that unexpectedly passed, so it was going to be the most important tattoo I'd ever get. If you want a person that is going to listen to you and also genuinely care about you and the work they do, Nick is the guy! He's fabulous with colors. The shop itself is also clean and the owner is very friendly. I can't see myself ever going to anyone else in the future.
