I was fortunate to have the owner give me a guided tour and I was fascinated the entire time! In the club they have a young lady serving food. Bartender made me a good drink. The band totally jammed!

I would say this is a must-see if you're going to go to museums here in Charlotte. I love the fact…read morethat it had different types of art to view. It had something for everybody, even had a lighting exhibit, and I'm all about the lighting. We spent a good two hours here. It's in the middle of the city, so you can go to restaurants and shops when you're done or before. It was a $18 entrance fee for me, and they offered a senior discount as well for anyone 65 and older.

Best accidental find! I was taking my nephew to a local comic book store, when I saw the door for…read morethis galley and went in to check it out. There is a sign in there that says you will leave a friend, and I truly felt like I did. I am just a regular lady, I don't know much about art at all. But i was immediately moved by the beautiful pieces and the presentation of the art. This studio provides a Bio of the artist as well as giving wonderful insight. I had confided that I had achieved a one year goal and initially planned on treating myself with something that would not hold much value. Instead I purchased Linda James angels and I have my eye on other pieces. Even with my limited knowledge of art, Allison guided me through the studio and made me just a regular lady feel quite special in the art studio. Please check this place out. You will not regret it

A photography gallery in Uptown, right next to the 7th Street LYNX Station. When I arrived, the…read moreplace was quite desolate. The security guard had me wait in the lobby while he went in to the gallery to turn the lights on. I got the impression that there wasn't a whole lot going on here. It's a good thing that it's free, because 30 minutes of looking at pictures wouldn't have been worth much. And even at 30 minutes, I was still moving pretty slow. When I visited, the exhibit was "Streetwise", a collection of pictures of America's troubled 60's. Capturing images of not just our troubled times, including Boston's "Combat Zone" and close-ups of the Black Panthers, there were also shots of just regular people and places. All in black and white, which gave it a feel of being very like a documentary. Pictures of the pictures are not permitted, but I took that as meaning not taking a picture of the individual pictures. Instead, my wide shot of the gallery doesn't give away the detail but helps you see what you're going to see there. I might come back for the next exhibit, but I think this is a "See it once" kind of thing.

More than a few years back I had some work done - some mountains on my shoulder - that I was not happy with... at all. A few years later I got it reworked over a few sessions and it looked better, but it still wasn't great. I had more or less given up, resigning myself to a tattoo that looked like nothing I wanted and that I would always have to explain as a mistake. It sucked. Fast forward to the summer of '18. I had moved to NC from UT a couple years earlier. I started contacting artists in Charlotte, Greensboro, and Asheville. I sent pictures of what I had and described what I was looking for. Most places never returned my message or call and if they did they more or less said, "I can make it look better, but it will never look like you want". Then I messaged Mike. A day or two later I got a very enthusiastic message saying he would love to work on it and he was confident he could make it look a lot better. We exchanged messages and eventually discussed it over the phone. I came down to Charlotte (still cautions in my optimism). Again, he was supremely confident that he could make it happen. I set up an appointment and went in. My appointment took most of the day, but time flew by. I was more nervous than anything (this was my last chance), which made me more squirmy than normal, but Mike was super patient and kept telling me it was going to be fine. We chatted all day about everything under the sun, told some jokes, watched some TV, enjoyed some Korean food during breaks... all while he worked through a back injury to fix my tattoo. As it turns out, he was 100% right. Not only did he fix the piece, he exceeded my expectations. It was truly incredible. I could not have been happier with the outcome, with what he could do. There is often an intense sense of appreciation when someone does good work on your body bc it ain't going anywhere, but when someone fixes something that has been there for years that you weren't proud of... man, I can't thank Mike enough. Mike even followed up and asked how things were healing. He genuinely cared about the work. He wanted me to be happy. If I could give this place 100 stars I would. Go here to get your tattoos.
