Lost City Tattoo

I am so happy I walked in to Lost City! Lefty took all my random ideas and turned them into something so beautiful. He drew the patterns right on my arm to make my sleeve the most cohesive and truly original to my skin. He is quite an amazing artist, and it was such a cool experience to watch the light sketch become a piece of art that’s a part of me forever. It’s my biggest tattoo yet & I love it.

Wow!! What an awesome experience. Lefty was beyond patient during the entire tattooing process, which helped me feel more than comfortable. I originally was expecting something smaller to accommodate my budget, and he completely blew my expectations away. Great conversationalist, fantastic artist, and very patient and caring. Best tattoo experience I’ve ever had, and can’t wait to get more work done by him!!

I sent in a photo of exactly what I wanted, an 8 letter word on my wrist, and put down a deposit of $100. When I arrived, the artist had not used the photo I sent (which was in my mom's handwriting), instead drawing up something completely different. He had not understood that the photo that I had sent in was what I wanted. That seemed odd. The tattoo process was fine, clean and professional. When he was finished, I figured that as the tattoo was so small (1.75" x .25") using only black that they would refund a portion of the $100 deposit. Instead he said that we were all "settled up". I have a lot of other tattoos and that price was too high for the work. I guess I should have gotten a price list first? I was not told that $100 was the minimum for the shop.
