    Let me set the event first for my experience at Inkpulsive. My nephew had just passed away and his…read morefather, my niece (his sister) and my daughter (his cousin) all went to this establishment to get small tattoos to honor his life. So a very cathartic and special experience for our family. We were not greeted when we walked in despite making appointments. Most of the tattoos were small and simple. There were 3 nautical stars, a passage written in my nephews handwriting, a text tattoo reading "come play" and my tattoo which was an infinity symbol with the words Forever Young etched within them. The 3 ladies working were very unfriendly in the whole process and had very little interaction with us. Upon completion their design of the infinity star, which I might add they never asked me how I wanted it designed - I did not like their design. So, I explained that I want the Forever in the left upper loop and the young in the lower right loop. Her design had an unreadable "forever" intersected with "young" at the cross section. I was met with negativity and hostile like presentation in defense of her design. I told her I appreciated her design but it's not what I want. We went back and forth at this point with me trying to convey what I wanted and her telling me it couldn't be done. I told her the text was unintelligible and she literally slammed a font book on the counter and said "you find a script font that fits". At this point I was ready to walk because of the rude attitude I was getting but I didn't want to ruin the experience for my family so I remained calm and professional. I suggested that she didn't need to use a script font and she insisted that what I wanted was impossible. At this point I kindly said. "Ok don't worry about it, I'll get it done by another artist at a later time" My niece who witnessed this exchanged reminded the woman why we were here and that she was being quite rude to her uncle. Then everyone got defensive and loud in the shop. One of the artists claimed "we were only supposed to do stars" which was a surprise considering we called ahead setting the appointment and explaining what we wanted but was thrown in our faces as if our business was inconvenient to them. At this point my brother in law stood and said "let's go." To which the response was "Oh, so no ones getting tattoos now?" My niece once again told them "we are here because my brother just passed away." Their response "I'm sorry for your loss, BUT, this is a business. Maybe if I had another hour and half to design that I could've met your unreal expectations" In my experience a tattoo is something that most people hold sacred. Especially the kind of tattoos we were getting. I have several tattoos and every artist I have ever worked with has made sure I was happy with the design before placing it on my skin forever. We later went to another tattoo shop not to far from Inkpulsive. I won't write their name here because I want all who read this to know this review is authentic. We explained who we were, why we were there and what we wanted. True professionals nailed everything we had hoped for and designed my personal tattoo in 15 minutes.

    I've had many tattoos in my life.... in fact more than I can count. I've been to many different…read moreplaces, some amazing & some piss poor. I first went to inkpulsive on the recommendations of my friends Scott & Chris. Thankfully I listened. I work with Jen, the owner, exclusively but not due to taste. Stacey is an amazing artist in her own right, but Jen is seeing my vision through. Can't wait to get back for more ink!
