This 'tattoo artist' is extremely rude and unfortunately has a substance problem and has had pinned…read morepupils the last two times he regrettably tattooed me. The first tattoo I got with my boyfriend was great . Second one - awful . Hard to believe these tattoos only have a $75 price difference . Did the two with amazing detail on us - we were so satisfied . 6 weeks later I got the one on my neck & I'm currently getting someone to touch it up I have multiple friends and now of multiple people who are equally disappointed with his 'work' He never follows through with tattoo projects cause as an "artist" he believes it's his job to decide what you get as a tattoo if it's his shop . Be smart . DO NOT GET A REGRETTABLE LIFELONG TATTOO

I first came to River Ratz after "Googling" & looking at his Facebook posts/pictures and knew I…read morewanted him to be my artist. At that time I had a small horribly faded angel on my upper left breast that I needed covered. I wasn't in a rush though and took my time talking and researching artists/shops. I contacted him through Facebook messenger to set up a consultation. He promptly responded, which was awesome. We set up a date for me to come in for a face-to-face consultation. When I walked in, he greeted me with a friendly smile. His shop is more clean then some hospitals I've been to. Not only is it very well maintained, but it has cool art work, pieces of history, beautiful wall pieces, and more. It has an extremely welcoming vibe. So after our consultation, I knew even more I made the right choice and would be a repeat customer. My first piece was my horribly faded angel cover-up that's now a big beautifully detailed black and white owl. As a female, my cover-up was in an explicit spot. Dru never made me feel uncomfortable or gross (like some male artists have). He was one-hundred percent professional. Yet, still friendly and even comedic. We did 3 sessions. I am in love with it and get compliments anytime it can be seen. I then came back for my nipple piercings. Again, his shop was remarkably clean and he made me feel at ease. I'm so glad I did them! Next was a conch piercing. Same conditions :-) Me and my friend then came and got matching mini dinosaur tattoos. They turned out perfectly. So we came back again with our other friend and got the PPG!! I got Bubbles and she is the cutest tattoo I have. Since then Dru has tattooed a Unalome, a Namaste symbol, an angel, and another cover up. Also, he has pierced my Ashley and a couple more places in my ears. I highly recommend him if you're wanting a clean shop that gives perfect pieces. Me and my friends are definitely repeat clients for years now.

The jewelry I ordered did not come in." Okay so should we make another appointment? "No just keep calling back and checking." No thanks. We won't be back. They had my cell phone number.
