Was planning on getting some work done here today but the scheduled artist failed to appear. Other…read moreemployees mentioned something about a family emergency though so that is understandable. My self and 3 other appointments did try to get in touch with the artist to try and reschedule individually but couldn't get an answer. I may try to return in the future for some work, the parlor is very nice unique and clean. The only down side I see so far is communication.

This place is amazing. The artists are extremely professional, upbeat, and willing to turn a…read morehalf-cooked idea into a gorgeous reality. I worked with Kyle Patrick, but every artist is incredible in their own right. They all exhibit different strengths, so if you aren't seeking out a piece from someone specific, just ask who would be best suited for your vision. Everyone there is helpful and pleasant. From booking the appointment to walking out of my second sitting, I felt like a king. The place itself looks average from the outside, but inside it has an herbal botanical smell from the organic tattoo salve used that permeates the room. The hard wood floors and decor are tasteful and classy. It is exceptionally clean and organized. The interaction between the staff is nothing short of hilarious. The banter is like something from a sitcom and instead of wincing at the needle, I spent half of my sitting laughing and joking with the guys. They do everything they can to make you comfortable and at ease, which is all very natural to the attitudes of the people themselves. It arises organically and isn't something you can duplicate or synthesize. I've gotten ink in several states and from several shops. I'm not going anywhere else. Best experience I've ever had. I recommend this for a first time getting a tattoo on an 18th birthday or for the experienced ink collector adding another piece to the collection.

I was tattooed by Jon Laflore last month and had a very positive experience. I filled out a form on…read morethe Seventh Sin website and their Shop Coordinator called me that week to discuss my tattoo and schedule a phone consultation with Jon. Jon was a sweetheart and talked me through my design as well as the placement. The day of my appointment, I arrived at the shop and Jon had two options for my design. The stencil took about an hour to place but that was mostly due to the placement of the design which was a mandala on my shoulder. I appreciate that Jon took care of where my design was placed and ensured it was symmetrical on my body. Overall, the tattoo took 3 hours, for the first two hours I listened to music since the tattoo machine sound bothers me but for the last hour I chatted with Jon. He is a great artist and has years of experience. 10/10 would recommend anyone to visit this shop!

Wish I had never gone to this shop, their artist George (@georgie.boy.tattoos) blatantly stole a…read moredesign from another artists and tattooed it onto me without my knowledge that it was not an original design. George told me he drew it and as he was a friend at the time I had no reason to believe him. When I talked to him and the shop they both told me they couldn't help me and that it was essentially my own fault for not knowing the design was stolen. As well shop had generally bad vibes, no water cooler, a/c was either blasting or non existent and music was far too loud and abrasive for trying to get tattooed 0/10 Do not recommend
