This review is solely about my experience with Meghan Mayhem -- not the shop or other staff, who…read morewere always kind and professional toward me. Meghan is undeniably talented artistically, but her interpersonal and collaborative approach left me incredibly disappointed and beyond frustrated. I spent months working with her on a large chest piece. I was very clear with what I wanted and the design she created was beautiful. We both agreed on the design, including the color. I was very excited to have her art on me. The original design was over budget, so we agreed to leave the background out for now -- an important part of our plan. Unfortunately, during the tattooing process, Meghan made major changes without my consent: * Areas that were supposed to be left as bare skin as part of the background were filled in with SOLID BLACK. * A large section that was meant to be greyscale/black and white was instead done in brown -- a color I dislike and would never choose for a tattoo. Both decisions were made without asking me. And since it was a chest piece and I could not actively see what she was tattooing by the time I could see them, it was too late. When I brought up the blackout sections, before our final session, she acknowledged remembering our plan to come back later to finish the background, but that was it. When I brought up the brown she just dismissed it as her "forgetting" it was supposed to be black and white. No apology. No remorse. Oddly, during our second session of line work, she tattooed my stomach by accident because she wasn't paying attention to how she was pulling her hand and the tattoo gun away from my body. She was genuinely apologetic and continued to be around this mistake. And I really didn't have an issue with it. But the fact that she was able to take accountability around this mistake makes her lack of care around the more serious issues even more frustrating. If I could go back, I'd have walked away at the early red flags before any ink was laid. I was too focused on her drawing and ignored my gut. Now I'm left with a very expensive tattoo that infuriates me when I look in the mirror and I can't fix it. Again, it would have been amazing if she had stuck to HER original design and what we agreed on. A few more things just to be aware of if you do want to work with her: * She has an extremely heavy hand -- I'm still bruised from our third session 5 months later. * As a trans person, I also felt uncomfortable with some transphobic comments she made. She's not overtly hateful, but definitely not a safe or affirming artist for trans clients. In short: her artistic skill doesn't make up for the lack of communication, disregard for consent, and unprofessional behavior. I cannot recommend her less.

The guy in the center tattooing was condescending and rude. At one point he told us to be quiet as we talking amongst ourselves . WTF, am I in a library? Decided upon not to get the tattoo. RULE 1: if a place makes you uncomfortable, do not do it. Glad I stuck to my decision as my other two friends got theirs which was larger than they wanted and not the design they wanted as they were told "that has too much detail (on a palm tree..really?!) but we can do an outline of a palm tree". ummm, noooo. $60 dollars later for a permanent tattoo that they did not envisioned that was larger than the design they brought in. Worst. Place. Ever. If I could get this place in -5 I would.

They didn't have "change" so she also got a pretty nice tip for a crap tattoo. It is now re-worked/covered. I have also seen some over her color jobs on other people I know, Very blotchy.

From looking around at shops in the area I -thought- that this shop did good work. Instead, they picked up the phone and spoke in what I'm assuming is butchered Japanese. After playing along with their ruse, ignoring the cackles of laughter in the background and attempting to confirm that I was calling Aries Tattoo Studio and if anyone was available that spoke English, I gave up, and will be taking my business elsewhere. I'm not the 'I shouldn't have to press one for English' types, but there was nothing on their page that suggested that a non-English speaker runs their front desk. I'd rather not have someone that treats business matters immaturely to put a permanent piece of art on my body.
