It was only until I saw my cousin's portrait tattoo that I knew I found my tattoo artist at Da Wei Tattoo. There are a lot of skilled tattoo artists and then there is Da Wei. There aren't enough words to describe how talented Da Wei is. He is a unique tattoo artist; he is a creator. I appreciate how passionate Da Wei is with his work. Da Wei is not intimidating or pretentious at all, despite having so many tattoo awards! He is friendly and personable. I feel like I'm at home at his tattoo shop. As his guest, I'm a co-creator instead of another customer. Da Wei helps me translate my vision into real-life through beautiful and intricate artwork. He always goes above and beyond to research and curate and present the perfect tattoo. I love peeking inside his office to see what concepts he is working with and what he's creating next. As a creator, Da Wei is light on his fingers. He is gentle, careful, and considerate. He always makes sure that I feel comfortable and that I'm confident with his work before, during, and after my tattoo sessions. Da Wei is also communicative and transparent. Each session is like another consultation. He will let me know if something will or won't work. He also makes suggestions, but is neither pushy about it. I never regretted any of his suggestions; that's how much I trust him! Da Wei chose the perfect placement for my tattoo where I can appreciate and admire it. I love the details of each individual lily. Each lily has its own characteristics and beauty. The colors are also vibrant and compliments not only my complexion, but my personality. I had a hard time searching for a tattoo artist because flower tattoos were considered too basic. It's true; flowers are simple. Anyone can tattoo a flower, but it takes a special kind of artist like Da Wei to turn something common into something classic. The most skilled chefs are the ones who've mastered the foundational sauces. I know that my tattoo is one-of-a-kind because Da Wei created it with his vision, my vision, and personality in mind. Da Wei Tattoo is not a one stop tattoo shop, it is a gallery of lifetime artwork. You'll know what I'm talking about once you visit the shop.

I think my mom was a little taken aback by the smoke shop vibe and she was nervous when she met Nick and all their tattoos and piercings. Nick was so open and friendly and age-appropriate with my daughter, my conservative mother relaxed into trust very quickly and it was a WONDERFUL experience. My daughter is so happy with her piercings and my mom couldn't stop raving about Nick's obvious deep knowledge and skill. So impressed.

Even a year and a half later, they're still difficult to wear because of how crooked they are. Absolutely do not recommend. Stay far away.

She was friendly and very patient with my friend and I. Would definitely come back to her.

Let's face it, walking into a tattoo parlor for the first time can be intimidating. Coral, the owner, is really sweet and immediately put us at ease, and made us feel welcome. The tattoo artist, Rodney, wasn't there, but Coral showed us his portfolio and gave us his cell phone number. I have to admit I was a little hesitant after seeing Rodney's portfolio. He is a talented artist but his entire portfolio was black-work, and I wanted bright and bold colors. Luckily, Rodney called and we set up a consultation appointment. A week later, Rodney showed me three designs he had drawn that were exactly what I wanted - a large and colorful three-toed Japanese dragon with cherry blossoms that wrapped around my shoulder. My husband was so impressed that he had Rodney do a Japanese octopus on his arm. Both tattoos are absolutely amazing. I can't speak highly enough about the whole experience.

However, after my first appointment was canceled, I came in for my rescheduled visit and left feeling pretty discouraged. The staff explained the risks thoroughly, but it came across less like informed consent and more like they simply didn't want to perform the piercing. I was told things like they had already turned down several people for this type of piercing, that I only had about a 30% chance of success, that it's very hard to be eligible, and that I could be left with a large mark on my abdomen. For a navel piercing--which is very common--that felt excessive and discouraging. What added to the confusion was being told that I had "the perfect anatomy" for it, yet all the guidance seemed aimed at convincing me not to go forward the more and more the conversation went the scarier it got. I was also asked to find jewelry elsewhere and come back because their gauges were too large if I still wanted the piercing done. In the end, I went to another shop and had the piercing done without issue. I can't fully recommend this place, but I also can't completely dismiss them--the experience just left a sour taste. Hopefully, fewer people walk away feeling turned down or discouraged at a shop that offers piercings..

I paid $100 for deposit before they started making a draft for the design. Originally my appointment was late October but rescheduled for mid November. I got there at 1:02 because I got lost in the plaza. The shop is so cozy. It helped with my nerves and they also offered drinks such as coffee or water. Olena had me sit and presented me the sketch that she combined. I was a bit picky with the placement but she helped me pick a spot and I'm glad I went with it.
