I got the worst tattoo of my life done here. I have many other tattoos and this one is so bad I’m embarrassed this is on my body for the rest of my life. I asked for a watercolor tattoo of a wave that goes into my father’s initials and he wanted a black and grey version of the same tattoo or as similar as possible. When we arrived the artist showed us two sketches and they looked great on paper. My dad’s is really simplistic but well done in that regard. Mine despite being shown a watercolor sketch is entirely hard lines and when I asked her why she said she just needed me to come back (as well as pay her more) so she could color it in. Anyone who’s ever seen a watercolor tattoo would know that’s the exact opposite of what I asked for. I’ve reached out multiple times to the shop itself to discuss this but get left on read after each attempt. I wish I could add photos to show you how bad this tattoo turned out. I’ve been told by multiple other artists that it’s so bad there’s no way it can be turned into what I asked for. I’ll have to cover it or laser it. (I’ve added photos to their google page so you can see how badly this was done)
Love this place. Sam is amazing. Love my piercing. 8 girls went in, 2 already planned to get piercings done and 1 wanted a tattoo, ended up with 5 girls with piercings and 1 with a tattoo... I love her. She's very thorough, easy to talk to, very friendly. Made me so comfortable about the whole process and what to expect. Walk through it step by step. Very clean and sterile and informative for sure. 100% recommend her. And her apprentice was the same way. One of the greatest experience I had in a tattoo shop. And I've been to like 6 of them. It's all about the energy go in with and how you feel coming out.
I could not speak more highly of this shop. We messaged the night before to inquire about walk in tattoos and they fit all three of us in and basically spent all day with us. Felicia was an absolute joy and gave me two incredible horror tattoos. If I didn’t move across the country on Friday the 13TH I would’ve been first in line to see her again. This shop is so well run, friendly, funny, and down to earth. I will be SO back for my scary movie ghost face. Wazzzzzup!
