Kat did the downsizing procedure this time and she was just as cool to work with as the first time I saw her. Kat's great because she makes you feel so comfortable and she really takes her time to explain what she's doing every step of the way. Switching out the helix post was nice and easy, the flat was a little more tender and a tiny bit painful (it got bumped a few more times during healing so far compared to the helix due to its location), but it calmed down after about 20 minutes, so it was not a big deal at all. Kat also told me despite the bumps/snags the flat experienced, the piercing was still lying perpendicular the way it was initially pierced, which is good news. Downsizing costs $15 per post and $10 for the service + tax. You get to keep your old posts too. Best of all, just like last time, they sterilize everything. It's now been a couple of days since downsizing and everything feels and looks great! Looking forward to these piercings healing up nicely, I can't wait! I still highly recommend JuL Head Piercing, they're great!

Appointments were easy to schedule online, and we booked with Dee, who was fantastic.

So fast, just a second of discomfort, and my daughter is thrilled with her new earrings.

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her.

When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

Have you ever seen a tattoo come to life? I haven't until meeting Lucy and seeing the amazing artwork she gave my boyfriend. Her passion and talent speaks volume in every stroke of art she inks. It was truly an eye opening experience for me who normally cannot even watch someone get a flu shot. If you are lucky to land an appointment with Lucy, the wait - no matter how long or short - is worth it. Trust us, the months will go by so fast. It's also a blessing in disguise so that you have the time to think about what you really want to commit to before getting inked. I learned through my boyfriend that it is important for you to know what you want but also, be open-minded to what the artist recommends. Lucy's attention to detail is second to none and her insights guided my boyfriend to having a tattoo that he is completely obsessed with. My boyfriend knew what he wanted the months that led up to his appointment. He wanted a lion that would embody the lessons he has gained thus far from his chapters in life: strength, balance, perseverance and courage. After months of research to find a trustworthy and skilled tattoo artist like Lucy, we already knew Lucy's artistic ability was top notch in the industry but the final outcome surpassed what my boyfriend and I could've ever envisioned. The first time I saw the tattoo, it felt like Lucy had custom tailored every feature of the lion to resemble my boyfriend's characteristics and the person he embodies - one who is trustworthy and hungry for knowledge and wisdom. Lucy's work exceeded beyond our expectations. Not only did she translated the image beyond what we had imagined, but she gave life to what would've been a normal tattoo if we had went to another tattoo artist. Every friend who my boyfriend shared Lucy's passion with became just as amazed with her work. The fine strokes and incredible attention to color and detail is not only mind blowing but Lucy's work ethic is so admirable. If you are her canvas for the day, rest assured, you will have her undivided attention and focus. My boyfriend and I want Lucy and everyone to know what a BADASS SHE IS! read more

Mario Caudillo did my first of four tattoos at my tattoo. He is an amazing black and grey artist but is not limited! I would expect to see a lot of his ink in a chapel! My hannya which was a cover up of an old custom Phoenix can be seen in his instagram! It was done in December 2015! I have seen a lot of his other work as far as realism goes Mario can literally put what you want on your skin! I have never seen anything like it! Man Yao did my second tattoo here. Man Yao did a crest combined with one piece stamp of the dragon. I have spent a lot of time at this shop and I have seen him do lots of beautiful writing, flowers and some detailed custom Chinese, Japanese and Mayan artwork tattoos! Man is hilarious, awesome and handles his business! He does most of the piercings in the shop too. Horishin did my last two breast and quarter sleeve tattoos he is an amazing artist! Horishin has the most amazing Japanese art style! Take any of the Japanese folklore he has an idea, concept and beautiful masterpiece to put on skin. From the gods of Shinto to all of the yokai! If you want an anime tattoo I have seen them healed. people continue to come back and get more! The art is better than the anime art! Horishin has an in depth knowledge about everything he tattoos which makes it even better if you actually care about what you are putting on your skin. I have spent over 80 hours in this shop. Everyone I have met at this shop is awesome, clean, nice, funny and respectful to everyone who comes in the shop. This is an awesome shop with an unlimited amount of talent! This is a shop of the original Japanese tradition. Each artist must tattoo themselves before tattooing others and must have knowledge and respect of anything they put on a person's skin! They also spend countless hours drawing painting and sculpting when they are not tattooing to keep their skills. read more

I saw Lucy's work on Instagram and fell in love with her watercolour pieces. As I go to Los Angeles once a year, I decided to try to get a consult and an appointment with her. Two years ago, I consulted with her for an upper arm tattoo of plants: I studied botany in college and wanted a piece to remind me of my love of plants. Over the course of several emails, I discussed with her what sort of piece I wanted: what plants would be most interesting to me and what colours I wanted her to include. My communication with her was excellent and I grew very excited to get a piece from her. Today, I came in for my tattoo. She presented me with her design, incorporating culinary herbs and flowers that I loved. It was gorgeous and I was impressed with the research and accuracy of her design. I told her that I was nervous, as I had not sat for that length of time for a piece in the past, but she was very reassuring and we started on my arm piece. She was very responsive throughout the tattooing process, where I took a few necessary breaks. She also talked to me and we had enjoyable conversation. Sometimes, I turned on my audio book and listened to that, which she accommodated without a problem. We took a longer break for dinner, and quickly resumed to finish it. It's everything that I wanted from an upper arm piece and more: the little touches she added here and there are delightful! I waited two years for a piece from her and it was worth it, not just in the finished piece but in the design and the creative process. I wholeheartedly recommend her and My Tattoo as a place to get tattooed. The shop is a clean, lovely space and the staff very welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

From the moment I walked into MyTattoo, I was welcomed into a spotlessly clean, friendly, and uniquely Asian-themed ambiance that perfectly represents their specialty in oriental tattoos. This wasn't just a simple tattoo session; it was a journey that epitomized artistry, passion, and excellence. Will Meng is an artist in every essence of the word. As someone who struggles to translate ideas onto paper, I was looking for more than just a tattooist - I needed a visionary. And with Will, it was as if he had a magical ability to delve into my mind, extract vague concepts, and meticulously craft them into a custom, original masterpiece on my skin. His unwavering dedication to detail, combined with an unmistakable passion for his work, resulted in a tattoo that's nothing short of perfection. Interacting with Will was a lesson in professionalism fused with the right touch of friendly banter. Not to be overlooked are the wonderful Man Yao and Kenji, who, despite not being my primary artists, made every appointment memorable. I genuinely feel I've made new friends during this process. A smooth procedure, bearable pain, and top-tier technique by Will made the entire experience a breeze. Post-tattoo care? Clear and concise instructions provided. Is it pricey? Perhaps, but the age-old adage, "you get what you pay for," has never been truer. I've already referred three family members to this future legend of the craft, and they echo my sentiments. In summary, if you want more than just ink on skin, if you're looking for an experience, a story, and a masterpiece, MyTattoo and Will Meng are the names to remember. read more

A Masterful Art Experience at MyTattoo I recently reignited my love for tattoos at My Tattoo in Alhambra, CA, diving back into the world of ink after a fifty-year hiatus - my last tattoo dates back to 1980. My Tattoo is a sanctuary of artistry, where all tattooists are part of the esteemed Jess Yen Family, offering expertise in a diverse range of popular tattoo styles. Their portfolio spans Traditional Japanese, Neo Traditional Japanese, New School, Black and Grey, Realism, Tribal, Watercolor, Geometric and more. However, it was the Neo-Traditional Japanese style that captured my attention, and within this domain, Kashu Horishin's talent shone the brightest. His creativity is not just outstanding; it's a realm above. Every line he etches is a testament to his precise hand, a clear reflection of his dedication to the craft. The color and texture work he's done on my extensive upper arm, chest, and shoulder pieces are in a league of their own - truly, I've seen nothing comparable. Horishin isn't just a tattooist; he's an artist who has turned my skin into a canvas that tells my story. For anyone whose interest is piqued by the Neo-Traditional Japanese tattoo style, I can't recommend him enough. You can find Kashu Horishin and the remarkable Jess Yen tattoo family showcasing their work on all major social media platforms. They're not just tattooists; they're true masters of their art. read more

I wish I can give this place 0 star. I came here for my first tattoo and they f*cked my tattoo up so bad. It's nothing like what I wanted. I went home and cried myself to sleep that night. Just thinking about having this tattoo on me forever makes me want to cry again right now. I feel like they didn't take me seriously. He drew it on me and didn't really even show it to me and just tattooed it on. It's on me, shouldn't I have a say? Unfortunately, it was on my back so I couldn't see it unless he gives me a mirror. I went home and noticed that it's not what I want. They don't take their job seriously but they should because they need to realize how important this is to us ... tattoos are permanent. what they tattoo on us will be printed on us forever. They don't seem to realize that. My advice? Go to someplace else. Go find someone who actually takes their job seriously cause these people don't. Especially the guy named man. I feel like they use to take their job more carefully ... until now their store is spreading and becoming more successful so they're all slacking off. Don't go to this place just because someone went here and got a nice tattoo ... it's not like that anymore. Go someplace else or else you might live each day hating yourself for walking into this place like me. read more

This is the tattoo shop I go to for all of my tattoo, and Man did most of them along with a few piercings. I can not say enough good things about this shop! Although I usually come in really late, Man, Kohei, Lucy, Alex, Bruce, Danny and everyone else at the shop still greet me with a big smile! making all my experiences here unforgettable! Man is seriously a really talented artist! I am extremely picky with tattoos, I simply explain to him in a sentence or less of what I want, and he'll be able to design a one of a kind masterpiece. I get endless compliment on all of my tattoo done by Man, especially the lion that he recently did. I am always so impressive with his work and everyone else's work at my tattoo. All the artist here have a different and unique style, so there is a lot of variety to choose from. I've been to a bunch of places for piercing over the pass 10 years and after coming to Man... I think I found the best piercing guy ever! Man doesn't just treat his customer like a simple customer he treats them all like friends, I always complain to him and he still has so much patient and is super caring. I can't wait to come back to the shop and get more tattoos and piercing done by Man! read more

I came in today for my second piercing. Although I wasn't pierced by the one who did my first piercing, the gentleman I was assigned with was just as awesome! When we stepped through the door, we were warmly greeted with sweet faces & were attended to fairly quickly. Employees were very professional & made my experience a lot less nerve-wracking by creating a light-hearted comedic atmosphere & walking me through the process along the way. My piercer was very understanding & patient when I needed to take a second, not at all in a rush or annoyed by this. I was also honored by the fact that my session was utilized as an opportunity to teach two other employees on how to do this particular piercing. Although unexpected, I felt very comfortable & even gained a bit of insight & knowledge myself. From the jokes & laughs to advice & comforting reassurances, as well as explaining the aftercare process & what to expect, I was very grateful for their professionalism, & overall care that was displayed. I will definitely be coming back for future piercings, & maybe even tattoos. I am extremely pleased by the job & I can't thank them enough. read more

i just have to say that this is by far the best tattoo shop i have ever been to. not only are the artists extremely talented and professional, they make you feel like you are part of the family. they talk to you, entertain you, crack jokes, and are more than happy to have a conversation with you for HOURS! but of course you shouldn't take advantage of their kindness and leave them to concentrate on their work. :) They will work around the clock and make sure you are absolutely satisfied before any work is done on your body. once you walk in you will be surrounded by awards that the boss has won. after glancing at the catalog and the pictures of their art you WILL be sold and will have to make an appointment. the body piercings are just as amazing! the end results will have you standing there with a giant smile on your face and leave you more than satisfied! after getting my tattoo cherry popped here i recommend every single one of my friends to try this place out. and every single one of them has come back with four thumbs way up. trust me, you will not be disappointed and is worth the wait and the money. read more

This was my second time at this location due to my friend having an appointment with Lucy. Coming in to the shop always welcoming !! As I was waiting for my friend I decided to get a dermal piercing. They were very busy & said to wait until someone was available, I had to wait regardless- for my friend. Fortunately Man Yao was available after 30 minutes! I previously had a tattoo done by him, I thought he wasn't going to remember me since he has so many clients. But he did remember me and he even offered to touch up my tattoo !! The Piercing process was a piece of cake ! it was done within 5 minutes. He was very gentle and made sure that I was comfortable. It was painless! My other friend who also came along with us was thinking about getting her first tattoo & MAN had just cancelled an appointment so she was lucky to get him as well. ! He was honored to be the one first one to be able to tattoo her! She was nervous but he calmed her down by making jokes and talking to her.. I love this placeee!!!! read more

I wish I could give 3.75 stars. I've been coming here for years! I've gotten piercings and tattoos here and my whole family has gotten piercings and tattoos here. I came here for my 18th bday and my 29th. Ive been a long time customer and fan of their work. I took one star off because some of their artist (sunny) take designs for tattoos without crediting the artist. It's one thing to take an idea but to trace 95% of a design and tattoo it as if it's your own art and post it in IG as your own art makes me question this shops integrity. Also when I came in I got bad vibes from the short apprentice. I noticed they have like 8 apprentices. In LA most tattoo parlors only accept 1 apprentice a year and they choose a talented artist so they can be able to create designs. Their work is clean here but not original. I have a lot of happy memories here so I'll give them 3 stars but there are many other young talents popping off right now so I may shop around for a new place. read more

The artists' work is showcased in the room and the attention is well-deserved. These artists are phenomenal! And their bathroom is on-point clean (seriously, y'all do good work). Seeing that, I could tell this was a place I could trust and I was more at ease. It should be said that I am the BIGGEST wimp imaginable when it comes to pain. These were my first piercings ever and I was so so nervous. But my piercer, Alex, was so patient with me. He was informative, patient, and had a great sense of humor about the situation. After taking some extra time to make sure my piercings would match on each of my lobes, he pierced them and I was done within minutes! I would not hesitate to recommend My Tattoo for your piercing needs! Seriously go. They definitely earned a repeat customer out of a wimp tonight. read more

It's two in the morning and Milton has just finished putting the final touches on my pin up nurse tattoo. As i look at my new tat , I couldnt believe my eyes how beautiful, sexy and bad ass my tattoo turned out to be. Everytime i get new ink from "My Tattoo" they always exceed my expectations. I've been inked by Lucy and Milton both talented tattoo artists with different unique styles. I have spent countless hours at the shop whether im getting inked, observing friends getting tats or just visiting. Through my experiences, I have had the opportunity to see other talented tattoo artists work their magic, such as Andy, Kohei and the master Jess. I could go on and on, and you may think im full of shit. You don't have to take my word just visit their shop or go online and you will see that their tattoos speak for themselves. By the way, Milton, I love my pin up nurse tattoo!!!!!! read more

this is it. if i could give this place 10 stars i would. MAN IS AMAZING!!! i've over 48 hours of tattoos from england, spain, canada, america and all over LA... too many places to count. this is art. the careful attention to detail, the camaraderie between the artists, the lack of ego, the sharing of ideas, the sharing of ink, the sharing of input, the openness to advice between artists (to the point of seeking guidance on every single piece regarding placement, size, clarity) these artists are on a mission to grow, their desire to expand their versatility and always improve is astonishing. for anyone looking for art they could hang on their wall to be a reality on their skin, look no further. omg and they just brought in the most amazing healing product "saniderm" FREAKING AMAZING. no scabbing, colors are bright and brilliant!!! read more

I was a little anxious before I walked in to My Tattoo, it being my fourth tattoo parlor, I wondered if I was going to leave still feeling like I hadn't met a that perfect artist yet. Boy was I wrong. Everyone there is amazing, and also a bunch of nerds. While I was waiting for my tattoo artist Alex to finish stenciling I got into a rad discussion with the other artist and some of the clients about tons of Anime and Manga, so I mean if you're a fan like me, you'll dig this place. Nerd talk aside. I was blown away by some of the work being done that day, as well as the work the had posted up on the walls. I'm in love with not only my Princess Mononoke Tattoo (because it was everything I wanted) but with this shop itself. They make such beautiful body art and I can't wait to go back for more. So I suggest you check it out. read more

I had a chance to go with my friend who was getting a tattoo. My friend had an appointment with Lucy who worked in the private studio on the second floor. We check in at the first floor and the staffs were really friendly and the place was clean and well organized. I was really impressive with all the awards they got all over the world. The private studio on the second floor was really nice, like a nice Asian fusion lounge. The owner/artist, Jess Yen, was really cool guy and very talent. I was reading his featured magazines while waiting for my friend. I found out from my friend that both Jess and Lucy have a long waiting for an appoitment. However, it is all worth it. The tattoo is forever and I would want the best work on my skin. Now, I am on the waiting list and is looking foward to the best My Tattoo. read more

We'd like thank Alex for helping us. Great service, Friendly atmosphere Awesome people! My boyfriend came in to get some specific piercings on his ear. We called ahead to find out the piece and if walk in's are welcome. (Yes they are) As soon as we walked in the atmosphere was great! We were greeted as soon as we stepped in, Alex helped us out and did the piercings him self. He was patient and helpful, very friendly Also met "Man Yao" super cool guy. After the piercings my bf asked Alex if he could reshoot one of them and Alex agreed but we had to wait for the current cut to heal, but with my guys bomb genetics (lol) we only had to wait a week and came to get it fixed right away! Alex helped us out again and gave us great service once again. We definitely will be coming back for more. Very happy customers! read more

After years of having a tramp stamp on my lower back I have been waiting for the perfect cover up, but more importantly the best person to do the cover up. I found My Tattoo on line and quickly realized how talented the people that work there are. Mario did a cover up on my fiance and it was amazing, I was excited to get mine done. Today was that day, Mario did my cover up better than I imagined. You cannot see anything of the previous tattoo. I am beyond happy with the work he did and I am even more excited to get my next tattoo done by him. I have definitely found the perfect spot to get my tattoos. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get a tattoo and I highly recommend Mario as the go to guy. read more

One name.... Lucy Hu...... I was willing to wait until March 2018 for an appointment with her... 2018!!!!!!! And she would have been well worth the wait. Glad that I didn't have to wait tho (thank you fool that cancelled!!) Her art on my leg is AMAZING!! My 8th tattoo and currently my most favorite of them all. The shop is SUPER - cool staff and patrons. Vibe is chill and comfortable. I want to tell people to come see her, but I don't want to have to wait until 2019 to see her again (my bff and I are planning a bff tattoo and want to come see her!) If you're thinking about a tattoo, come here; see Lucy or someone else in her family; be forever happy with your forever art!!! THANK YOU LUCY and MY TATTOO!!!! read more

DO NOT GET A PIERCING BY KAYLA HERE! I never write reviews but this was a terrible experience. Im terrified of needles and Kayla had to repierce me multiple times after messing up my septum. After I went home My piercing was stiff and got infected. I went to another shop and they informed me she pierced through my cartilage twice!!! Now I have to pay and go through the painful experience again. It's clear that she is inexperienced with piercing and just trying to get money. When I told her about my concerns she insured me that it was even and correct. She was sweet but now I can tell she was just trying to get me to leave. This shop is deceiving and would suggest everyone to go somewhere else. read more

Cici took the time to carefully discuss the placement and every intricate detail of my custom design, making sure it would complement my style perfectly.

I had been playing around w getting a tattoo and this just felt like the right moment. i looked up local female tattoo artists on yelp and up popped Carpe Diem. 5 minutes later I was at the shop talking to the owner who quoted me a reasonable price and promptly introduced me to Saint. She took a copy of my inspo pic and got to work on the stencil. she came back with 3 sizes to give me a choice..how thoughtful was that?!! I chose the largest size and she got right to work. She made me feel comfortable as she worked on my shoulder and we chatted about life and love. i couldn't even tell you how long it took as i was so relaxed in her presence, metal playing in the background, feeling my anger slowly fade away with each stroke of the needle. She started a color count down, letting me know she was almost done. that's when the tears started. I swear it wasn't from the pain!! it was just from the exhilaration of being done and the release of anger. I practically ran to the mirror to see the finished artwork. OOOOH MAN, that's when the waterworks really started. i was just overwhelmed with how beautiful my tattoo was, the colors, the shape the placement, THE DETAIL. words cannot explain just how in awe i was (and still am 24 hours later). If you are on the fence , don't give it another thought. Get to Carpe Diem, ask for Saint today!!

I've met all the artists and they all welcome you as soon as you walk in. My artist is Kaythleen. She is awesome. I met her when she was an apprentice. I was looking for an artist that would do a memorial to one of my Frenchies who passed away. It had to be perfect. After speaking to her about my idea(s), she offered to me, with 100% confidence that she could do a "Realism" portrait of him. After putting my trust in her, she came through. She blew me away with the final stroke of her tattoo gun. I couldn't have been happier. Following that, I asked her to do a portrait of my other Frenchie. She immediately said yeas and was very excited to continue this journey. She delivered another masterpiece. Now I have both of my boys on my leg. We talked and discussed my next project. By this time Kaythleen had earned the title of Tattoo Artist. She was no longer an apprentice. I had been wanting to do a full leg sleeve of the Darkside characters of Star Wars. Mainly sidious, maul, and vader. She was again very excited to take on this challenge and make it happen. I come up with the concept and some artwork, she spins it in her mind and comes up with the layout. Somfar on this journey, it has been nothing short of amazing. We have just finished all the up to my knee and are currently working on going up the leg now. I get so many compliments on the artwork, layout, and her ability to make it all flow. I can't wait for the next session. She is absolutely amazing, hardworking, dedicated, and takes pride in what she does. Thank you to Kaythleen for making this a reality for me .

After coming across Kaythleen's work on Anvil's socials, we were really impressed by her b/w portraits and line work, and decided to book an appointment. Not only did she deliver an amazing piece, but she also helped foster a core experience for my father who shared that she was patient, kind, and meticulous. Ever since, I have had multiple pieces done by Kaythleen -- the most recent of which was a miniature line portrait of our family home and of our Jack Russell. My mother, who was never big on ink felt compelled to get a small piece done and is scheduled in for another. It's become a true family affair!

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.
