I'm also a bodybuilder, which makes getting tattoos more complicated as they have to compliment my muscle structure for when I'm on stage.

I'd highly recommend going to see Bryan for your next tattoo!

I had to change them out after a few days bc they were embedding and so painful it was waking me up in the middle of the night throbbing. These were piercings number 16 and 17 for me, so I pretty much know the ropes, and this was a jewelry issue for sure. If you go to get piercings here, make sure to advocate for yourself and ask for the longer bars and you should be good.

I was in town for my family vacay and have always wanted the little Oberon sun as a salute to MI…read moresince I no longer live in state. Submitted a request here and they were able to get me in same day, sweet!! I made it pretty clear I was looking for a fine line, simple outlined tattoo, both on the online submission and on the phone. The dude who tattooed me started by bringing out a few different sizes, I asked if we could do a size in between the first two prints. He seemed confused by this, left, came back, and asked how the next print looked and if that size worked. I'm 98% sure it was the exact same print out as before, he just didn't know how to resize it the paper had the same creases and it looked identical to the first print off, so I should've taken that as a red flag right away. But I wanted to get the tattoo so agreed on one of the sizes. Once we get into the tattoo, he stops about halfway and asks if I'd like any shading. I said no, I just want the outline exactly like we talked about. He says okay, and continues to shade the inside of the sun anyway. I didn't realize until I got home and took the saniderm off how bad the line work was. Yes, the Oberon sun is supposed to be squiggly and imperfect. However, my line work was bleeding and inconsistent. He claimed the bleeding lines would "fade" but they did not. Along with this, the face all blended together. It's hard to tell which feature is which. It looks like smudged marker to be honest. I think the man who tattooed me may have been an apprentice (but charged as if he were a seasoned artist at $150/hr), but I wish they would have been honest with their ability. I cried about the tattoo I was so excited for and have plans to remove it since it makes me sick to think about it. I reached out and was told that they'd be happy to do a touch up, but haven't heard a peep since then, even when I followed up again asking just for a refund because they even agreed it was bad.... Just wanting to share my experience for anyone else so they can go anywhere but here. Below is what I wanted vs what I got! Embarrassing.
