I am visiting the area from central NY and decided to get a last minute tattoo with a friend. I called ahead and asked if they do walk-in appointments and spoke to one of the artists - he said to come on in, as they had afternoon openings. We arrived and they got us in quickly - the environment was chill and clean and everyone seemed nice. We were greeted and directed back to one of the artists, Andrew, that tattooed my friend. Andrew drafted up our tattoos and let us go through various fonts. He was very kind, funny and pleasant to interact with.
The artist I was assigned to for my tattoo was Wayne. He seemed and friendly upon meeting and helped us pick a font we liked. He was quick as drafting up the stencil and getting his station cleaned up, which was appreciated. However, when he asked where I wanted the tattoo and I told him, his entire demeanor changed and my view of him did as well.
I told him I wanted the small 5 inch tattoo on my pelvic bone and his response was along the lines of "that's a weird spot, seems kind of pointless, how about here instead", directly me to my arm. I began grilling him as to why this placement was "odd/weird" and he said it's because its just an awkward spot that he doesn't recommend... he really didn't have a good reason/justification. I then asked about doing it on the outside of my wrist and he pushed back about that placement too. At this point, I honestly should have walked out, given its MY tattoo, a service I AM paying for, and MY body... Every time I suggested a spot I wanted it, Wayne had a rebuttal or argument, to the point of saying things like "that's stupid" and "have fun telling/explaining to people what your tattoo says for your entire life"... he was blatantly demeaning and disrespectful. If he was uncomfortable tattooing something on my pelvic bone, he should have simply referred me to someone else at the shop. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, we decided on my right upper forearm. I asked that the text face me, so when I look down at my arm, I can read it. His response was "yeah, I don't like that, I think this placement is cuter, but I guess if you really want it the other way, fine, but I don't think it's a good idea" - his facial expression was judgmental and his tone was completely sarcastic. Again, I should have walked out and not given him my service, but at this point I was fed up and said screw it.
The tattoo itself is great - he is no doubt a talented artist, but his bedside manner and customer service SUCK. 9/10 for his skill, 2/10 for his customer service. This shop has plenty of other highly talented AND kind artists, Andrew being one of those, so if you're looking for an all-around pleasant experience, both skill AND personality, I don't recommend Wayne.

Andrew Dickinson is an amazing talented artist. He’s done 7 of my tattoos so far & im completely obsessed with each one he has done. Very clean fine work, very easy to work with & book with. Honestly one of my favorite artists I’ve ever worked with. Definitely go see him for any tattoos especially American traditional pieces!
