Very nice artists and did a great job on my tattoo. They were able to print my tattoo I wanted off a website that I found for the tattoo I chose. Very friendly and I would definitely go back. Reasonably priced as well. Highly recommend to anyone. If you want to choose a certain artist you can. I had Veronica and she was amazing. They always ask if you're feeling okay while doing the tattoo to make sure you won't pass out or anything because of the needles.

I could not have had a better experience than I did today with mike. I wanted butterflyβs going up my neck for being 7 years clean from self harm. Not only did he do an amazing job at the art work and tattoo himself he made it so beyond comfortable and was so kind the entire time. Itβs also the anniversary of my dads passing and he was just so chill about it. He made what could have been such a sad day for me into an amazing day . I will absolutely be back and will refer everyone I know to him.
Thank you again Mike!

Prices way to high. Especially because someone in training did my tattoo, and it needed touch ups. Was never told the price until the end of the tattoo, or touch ups. Was told it was free touch-ups, but then was hit with a hefty hundred-dollar bill charge for "touch ups". Even after tipping $50 extra for original tattoo 3 weeks ago. Owner was very disrespectful, and had a terrible case of little man syndrome. Seemed very intimidated for no reason. Your response is case in point. What has the world come to, when you can't even ask a simple question about upfront pricing without "offending" somebody. The whole place had a grungy feel to it. I have spent over a hundred hours in a tattoo chair, and this was the worst experience I've had. (Because of the owner, not the artist. She was in training, and just doing what she was told. I complimented her on her work after touch ups) Would not recommend. For the record she completely redid my tattoo. She was 100% responsible for it after that. I don't think I could have been any more kind. I simply asked if I could know the price ahead of time, next time. I paid the $100 shop minimum... TWICE. I had $40 cash in my hand ready for a touch up tip, and that would have been more than sufficient for the 10 minutes that it took. In total I paid $275 for a small shamrock redo. I have spent thousands of dollars on tattoos, and money is not an issue. Otherwise why would I have generously tipped almost fifty percent the first time. Just recently moved, and was looking for a new shop. I just don't like being taken advantage of, like anybody else... Sir. Now I know where they get the name from. Owner's childish temper is like a "Time Bomb" waiting to go off. I will gladly take my business elsewhere. If you want to try and flex on customers, to impress "your young female" apprentice, do it to somebody else. Thanks

HORRIBLE. I have MANY complaints. The tattoo work I have gotten here is HORRIBLE. I will DEFINITELY be getting this tattoo REMOVED ASAP. I got a cover up from Shaun, the tattoo being covered was a small faded out 5 letter word. Anybody would have had an easy time covering it. Don't get me wrong, its covered... But the quality of the tattoo Shaun did is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tattoo is NOT proportional. It is NOT symmetrical. The shading is filled in, in some spots, but COMPLETELY MISSING in others. Everything about this tattoo is COMPLETELY WRONG. The funny thing is, I wanted a cover up to avoid the cost of laser removal... NOW I HAVE TO GET AN EVEN BIGGER TATTOO LASER REMOVED!!!! Not only was the tattoo bad, but the service was too. I went in to have a consultation with Shaun the day before getting the tattoo, he wasn't even there. When I was being tattooed by Shaun, he was aggressive, and kept stopping to talk to other people. Towards the end of the tattoo he seemed to completely give up and seemed angry because he was wiping my tattoo off so hard my whole body would move... This was by far my worst tattoo experience. My second worse experience was with Easton, who also works at this shop. Not only was he HIGH during tattooing, he was perverted and completely unprofessional. He OVER-LINES his tattoos and creates a lot of scarring. He took an hour on a 10-15 minute tattoo that was an inch big. I am NEVER stepping foot in this place again. I will definitely be WARNING people NOT to go here if they are looking to be tattooed.
