Venture Tattoo has been the most exceptional tattoo studio I have ever visited. I have been to both locations and both have exceeded my expectations in cleanliness and professionalism. I have only received work from the owner (Eris Qesari), however, I have had the pleasure of speaking to the other artists and they were highly personable. Eris was extremely easy to work with. The amount of thought and time he puts into tattoo placement and the meticulousness of how he arranges his pieces to make it look the best it can is art in and of itself. I have never had a flawed piece of art by him and it is apparent that he takes his work very seriously. I feel confident in saying that the other artists at Venture Tattoo will be the same and no matter who you choose to be your artist you will have no regrets.
I got my tattoo done by Joni and was very happy. He was very helpful and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in his job. The place itself is very nice, clean and organized. Parking is a bit of a hassle since its street parking and there's signs that say 2 hour parking only. I had the appointment at 10am and Joni immediately got started with the design. I wanted something original and he managed to come up with the perfect design and didn't mind changing a couple of things last minute. It took about an hour but it was well worth it. At 11am he got started and finished at 2pm with three 5 min breaks throughout. I completely recommend Venture tattoo and Joni for the amazing work he did. I will definitely be back and get more.
The facility is clean and the artists have their certifications on the wall. Since this is my first tattoo, I asked my artist, Meghan, to show me what she uses just so I could make sure everything she was using was clean, fresh, and single use. She did everything necessary to put my mind at ease, and she did this generously. I sent Meghan a picture of my tattoo idea through email, and she gave me a sketch of it. Because the image I sent was an embroidery, getting a good stencil of it was hard, but Meghan was extremely patient and generous about making alterations based on my feedback. Ultimately, she used her toolset to find on the internet the exact image I wanted, and this once again put my mind at ease. She placed the stencil on my arm as many times as I needed and gave me all the time in the world to decide what was best for me. Since this was my first tattoo, so told me she was going to start with a little poke on my skin to see how well I could tolerate it. Time flew as we chatted about everything under the sun, and she gave me plenty of opportunities to get up, walk around, stretch, and get my blood flowing. I am 100% satisfied and will 100% come back to her for future tattoos. Highly recommend.
