My daughter and I booked our appointment for poppy tattoos on our forearms. We were scheduled with…read morePablo, and did a great job. I gave him my design with requested alterations, which he did on his iPad in just a few minutes. The space was clean, safe, and sanitary. We were not sure about what size to get, so he printed a few variations and advised us on the one that would show the fine-line look we were going for. Pablo was also friendly and informative-- talking us through each step. It was my daughter's first tattoo, and he was attentive with her especially, turning on a fan when she said she was a little nervous. We will definitely return! They also do piercings and permanent makeup on site.

I love Vintage Karma. This shop has the best vibe/feel/ambience and greatest group of people. I…read morelove tattoos, but I've definitely walked into some shops that, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable. It might just be the day, or me, or who knows what that causes that feeling, but you want to be comfortable when you get a tattoo (beyond the thousands of needle jabs). Vintage Karma has a great collection of characters with a lot of talent, humor, and Intellect. They're open to chatting or letting you read/zone out/whatever. The shop is accepting of all types of people and accommodating for your needs, whether they involve breaks, snacks, or situating you for the best experience. I have several chronic pain issues, so working around those can be challenging. Note: be prepared---I'm not an incredibly social person, but work from Vintage Karma gets noticed even in places with a high percentage of tattooed people. For example. I was just in New Orleans, and I had people going quite a bit out of their ways to look at and ask about a phoenix/peacock (pea-nix) on my arm from Ainslie and my multitude of works from Caleb.
