Hunter Knolmayer worked on my arm doing an addition to an old Navy tattoo. I have a big affinity…read morefor several asian cultures and spent three years in Japan while I was in the Navy. I wanted a half sleeve with a half "rising sun", including seven red stripes and six white (over my old ship illuminated numbers and) blue water with white shimmering sparkles. To give it an American flag/japanese prideful combination. Hunter ignored what I asked him specifically (I knew him for over a decade, I used to work with him. So I contacted him out of his work/work hours). We had spent three five hour sessions with one session left. Multiple weeks in between each session. We had briefly discussed wrapping the tattoo around my arm and I had told him we would start after we finished the tattoo we were working on. After waiting three more weeks to finish my tattoo I went in and he was excited to start the new tattoo. He had come up with a design I did not like, showed me as I walked in the door to finish my tattoo he was already working on, then kicked me out of his shop when I wanted him to finish what he had started. I looked at it in the mirror as he was going to tattoo me and something was wrong, though I did not know what. Until I went home and looked it up on the Internet. The red sun he put on my arm has specifically sixteen red rays. I read this is extremely racist off putting and offensive. Hunter says he prides himself on researching his projects which leads me to believe he knew what he was putting on my arm. He did not warn me. On the positive side he is a skilled tattoo artist. Just not trustworthy. Recap: Hunter URScum did not finish my tattoo. Which was not exactly what I wanted and ended up being a racist offensive tattoo. Response: I was ignorantly happy with what he was doing. I was nothing short of supportive and grateful. I thanked him a couple days ago before I found out he replaced the image I gave him with an offensive image. I know artist can't always give us exactly what we want and when I went in on the first session I told him what he drew up was wrong. He did not want to have to redo it and was able to convince me to do his art. I put my trust in him and allowed him to apply his art. His art is offensive to many. That is a violation of trust. It was not supposed to be a new seperate tattoo. I want a continuation from the tattoo he was first working on. I wanted him to extend it. He did not want to. He came up with his own idea and did not show me until I walked in the door to finish my first tattoo by him. I probably would still be happy until I offended the wrong person. If Hunter would have finished the piece I went to him, specifically, to get, we would maybe still working together happily. Instead he made me question him. And through him, all of you. Did he know he was applying an offensive image? Do you? His actions speak louder than your words. *Watch out for these guys. They are trained well at conversation and wording. Their actions are not on the same lines with their words.

Very patient and warm guy, did a thorough discussion with us and made 2 hours of design before he inked. ​Unlike traditional "street shops" that might feel a bit gritty, Iconic Lines has a clean, modern, and boutique-gallery feel. They specialize almost exclusively in ​Fine Line & Micro-Realism: Think razor-thin needles and incredibly intricate detail. ​Minimalism: Small, meaningful designs that look "tucked" into the skin. Very happy with Julio and this place, will return soon Parking: It is tight, They do not have designated parking. Please plan accordingly to arrive on time to your appointment. There are metered street parking spots as well as paid parking lots next to the studio. They are in the special event rate parking zone - you can see the schedule of special event park.

I made an appointment with Mia at High Class Tattoos because I liked the artwork showcased on their…read morewebsite and social media. However, when I arrived, I was unexpectedly assigned to a different tattoo artist without any prior notice or explanation. I started with a small single-star tattoo, and unfortunately, the quality was very poor. I decided to stop the session before moving forward with any additional work. Afterward, I learned that the artist was the owner's daughter, and she asked her father to step in and fix the tattoo. At that point, I asked where Mia was and was told that she was in the shop tattooing another client. I was then informed that all of the artists share the same Instagram and Facebook accounts, that one person manages the social media pages, and that the artwork posted online is a collection of work from multiple artists. As a customer, I found this extremely misleading. The portfolio displayed on the website and social media gave me the impression that I was booking with a specific artist based on their work. Instead, I was assigned to someone else whose skill level did not match the quality of the work that attracted me to the shop in the first place. I believe each tattoo artist should have a clearly identified portfolio on the website and social media so clients know exactly whose work they are viewing and who they are booking with. Customers should not be randomly assigned to a different artist without their knowledge or consent. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop. Transparency matters, especially when choosing a tattoo artist. Potential customers should be aware that the artist they book may not be the artist whose work convinced them to schedule an appointment.

BEWARE! I guess…read morelike the tattoo says, I will have to get comfortable with how uncomforFable this tattoo looks I went here last year for finger tattoos done by Isaac, they did not stick whatsoever. I went back to have them redone, and they still didn't hold. Fast forward to last week, I came back (not realizing it was the same shop at first) and decided to give them another chance. They recommended an artist named Dominic for a script tattoo. That turned out to be a huge mistake. Before the tattoo even started, there were red flags I should've listened to. He asked me if I wanted to place the stencil because he couldn't get it centered. On top of that, he went out to the car to grab his iPad from a little boy running around, and then came back and didn't change his gloves. Completely unsanitary and unprofessional. Not only was the work poorly done, but the script literally looks like a 5-year-old wrote it... shaky, uneven, and completely unprofessional. On top of that, he actually misspelled one of the words through the stencil. He tried to "correct" it with what he called skin-colored ink (which is basically white ink), and now it looks even worse. And told me to "pick the black ink out when it is healing" Even after I made it clear I was unhappy, they still charged me $250 for two short sentences... one of which is spelled incorrectly. I reached out to the part owner to resolve this, and it turns out it's Isaac , the same person who did my tattoos last year. He told me I'd get a half refund and that he'd let me know when to come pick it up. Since then, I've called and messaged multiple times with zero response. Unprofessional, careless work, and terrible customer service. If I could give negative stars, I would.. Photos for reference
