I walked in and spoke with the receptionist who partnered me with Stephanie, who was able to take me immediately. I described my tattoo, a small quote across my left wrist, Stephanie was able to bring my idea to life in less than a few short minutes! I was happy to be welcomed into the shop, as choosing a shop can sometimes be a daunting and intimidating task. All of the employees we very nice, the shop was very clean, decorated nicely and comfortable for the guests. Stephanie is an amazing artist who made sure I was also comfortable throughout my sitting with her. Photos of my wrist to follow, healing is going nicely!

I am so disgusted with the outcome of my tattoo and my experience at this bully of a shop…read more I made two separate three-hour round trips, expecting beautiful results based on the artist's portfolio. I wasn't healing correctly after my first session and emailed my concerns with pictures but was given a generic response. I eventually ended up going to urgent care to be treated for inflammation. Even with pictures they never admitted it had been overworked. I was contemplating whether to find another artist to complete the initial work, which presented some challenges. However, I returned to the original artist some time later and wrote the reaction off as a consequence of new ink going over the old ink, or maybe a reaction to the short lived sani skin application. NO ONE IN THIS SHOP EVEN BREATHED A WORD THAT MY SKIN HAD BEEN OVERWORKED. Since the last session, every artist I've gone to for a consult told me that the area was definitely overworked and not my fault. The quality of the work is just ok, but as of right now the look is not cohesive. I hope to find a skilled artist who is even willing try to fix this. I did question whether or not he was taking longer to charge more. If I had returned, I would have paid over 5k total. I also spoke with the manager, Jo in person. I was in tears, explaining how unhappy I was so far, especially since I had already put so much time and money into it. She said she understood my concerns with stone face, condescension and passive aggressiveness. No apology, no offer to refund a portion or pay to have someone else finish it. Just silence and the hope I would disappear. Jo then proceeds to give me unsolicited "advice" regarding how she makes her own life decisions in a very childlike way. This is what happens when people are comfortable making assumptions about you. Thankfully, I don't take the opinions of someone who was excited about a 3 day stay in hotel by herself seriously (a story time I didnt ask her for). I realized she wasn't really listening to hear me. Jo said that Grimm has won awards etc.. none of that matters if you destroy someones skin. She was just countering me in an effort to dismiss my concerns. I urge people to seek artist that know how to work skin of different tones and textures. Brown skin doesnt mean go harder with the needle to do a cover. This establishment took my money and but did not deliver. They are unethical and Grimm appears to be MAGA. SUPER UMCOMFORTABLE for me. I told him I don't respect his lord and savior. If I had known beforehand, I would would never have let him tattoo me. Full stop. Overall, I gather that if you're happy with your experience all is well. I expressed dissatisfaction with legitimate, serious concerns and they made it my problem. As if I tatooed myself. I'm sure other factors were involved but they'll never admit it. Not publicly anyway. * warning graphic photos Update: I've had several consults to fix this mess and they all could not believe I paid $3600 and wasted 16 hours. All of my consults pretty much had the same opinion that my skin had been overworked and definitely overpaid for what was completed. Jo also told me that she would find out the brand of ink that was used and send me the template of the art that Grim used. To date I have not received either. I find that very petty and unprofessional of adults that run a business. But, how you do one thing is how you do everything. My skin is permanently scarred and I PAID for it. I could have gone to a master artist and had half my body done for that amount. If you are melanated please be careful...find an artist who actually works on clients of various skin colors and displays it. If you have soft, supple skin, be cautious... If you have the skin of a leather back turtle or genuinely just a slimeball this might be your place.

BEWARE ladies!!!! ...this is to any female that goes to Jonny X, currently working out of Valhalla…read moretattoo shop. I went to Jonny for a few tattoos, all completed on the same day...with the initial intent to return cause I had been looking for an artist since I moved here to NC. Aside from feeling the entire time I was there like he was hitting on me...before starting my last tattoo he asked me out; which I declined. I should have just left after he asked but still sat for my final tattoo...after declining, his demeanor completely changed. He was clearly irritated with me, which made me extremely uncomfortable and feeling unsafe. Long story short, as a result of declining, he intentionally messed up on my last tattoo. It's absolutely terrible!!!! Thanks to this asshole I now have a permanent reminder on my body of this situation; a fucked up tattoo. In this town, I unfortunately am not the only female who has had this same/similar experience with Jonny X. If you are a female that still decides to go to him, I wouldn't go alone.

Summary: Joe. Is. Awesome. I couldn't have asked for someone to take my tattoo more seriously or be…read moremore considerate with my privacy/modesty throughout the process. I would send my friends and family to joe. More details: I walked into shooting star after going into 3 other studios and feeling like they didn't care about the work I wanted. I even put a $100 deposit down on work at once place but ended up walking because the artist wasn't interested in working with me to get the design right. Anyway, I looked through books for each of the artists and joe's work seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. He was in at the time and was happy to look at the picture and sketch I brought with me, he made me feel really comfortable from the jump and was able to get me in quickly. When I got in on the day of my appointment I was on time, and joe was ready to get to work on my piece. He was gentle enough that I was able to handle 2 hours of needling on my ribs without crying or asking for breaks. In that session we got through all of the outline and shading in black and white with some of the color on the greenery. Everything healed up nicely and I was able to return in about 3 weeks to get the remainder of the color put on and get my husband the small piece he wanted. My husband's tattoo took about 30 minutes. Joe set everything up again, and jumped right into finishing up mine. If you're around Fayetteville, please checkout shooting star! Don't forget to tip your artist, especially if he/she does as great a job as joe.
