Electric Ladyland Tattoo

My sweet husband loves to get tattoos on his travels. I was a little less sure that I wanted to do that...but its our 20th anniversary and last full day in town so we walked down to see if we could do walk-ins. I like simple line work and there was a fleur des lis in the flash book that spoke right to me. The studio staff were patient while my husband waffled a little in his selection...but we both left with complementary designs that we love. Wearable souvenirs from a great week together.

I loved this tattoo shop! I came in for a quick flash tat with a friend and instead of the annoyed eye roll I typically get from tattoo staff who would prefer to take on a larger more interesting piece… we were welcomed in! There was a short wait but they give you the opportunity to pay a deposit and they hold your spot so you can pop to the art market across the street or choose your adventure. Michael was so nice! He went back and forth with us on perfecting our design while we waited for our artist to be ready. He never got annoyed and he also let me borrow his phone charger! Shawn was my artist and I was so pleasantly surprised that he was chatty and friendly and cracking jokes while tattooing. Very different from the stereotypical “tough guy don’t look at me” vibe I have consistently gotten from men at all of the other tattoo shops I have been too. I’ll be back for sure!

I went for a walk in, based on my regular artist’s recommendation. some friends and family came with me, everyone in the shop was friendly and helpful. Dwight did my tattoo, he was great!!! I hope to be tattooed by him again sometime.
