I received a couple tattoos here from Jimmy last week who has done multiple of my previous pieces as well. They all turned out excellent and I do appreciate the care he provides.
However, this review is concerning a tattoo that was done on my friend that I brought along. Cait was the artist. She completely overworked a simple shoulder tattoo on my friend and left her scarred. The linework seems fine, but the shading was completely butchered and way too deep. I've experienced this myself with only 1 of my 50+ tattoos from an artist that does not know how to pack color into dark skin. After do a bit of digging, I also found out that Cait is tattooing Confederate imagery on people and posting it online for everyone to see. If I had know this was the artist that would have tattooing my black friend, I would have said fuck no and made her wait for Jimmy. It is okay if an artist does not know how to tattoo color on dark skin (or in Cait's case, probably doesn't want to), but to go ahead and do it anyway while posting racist imagery is questionable at best. Extremely disappointing and hurtful as a repeat client. read more
