Idolize Tattoo

Everyone is super friendly, easy to talk to & helpful.
Plus I’ve gotten 2 amazing tattoos from here
Will be coming back. 10/10 would recommend!
Thanks Henry & Nick!!

The guys at Idolize were awesome!!! I went in spur of the moment and got to work with Nick W. He took 3 pics I had, combined them, and had something better than I imagined drawn up super quick and we got to work! He was quick, friendly, professional and above all amazing!! I absolutely love sitting for tattoos and getting to have conversations with Nick and the apprentice was a total treat! He made sure to check in with me throughout the process, not only on how I was feeling but how I felt about the work. He clarified any questions I had and just all around made me super comfortable. It was a blast and I can't wait to see it all healed up!!

I can’t tell you how amazing Ping’s art is! She’s such a kind funny woman who’s skills are completely off the hook amazing! I brought an idea I found on Pinterest and she was able to make it different and better! She did the tattoo for my daughter in May and the recreated it for me 7 months later and I absolutely love it! This is my 5th tattoo and I she is the only artist I would recommend!

Thank you Ping! Just had my new tattoos yesterday and I am very pleased with them. Can not stop looking at them, lol. It was my frist time to work with Ping, and I'm pleasantly surpised by her skills and talent! Ping was very friendy and patient, and understood what I wanted better than I could describe it! That was amazing. More importantly, her free hand drawing skill revealed her talent apart from the others. I feel lucky to have found her and she will be my tattoo artist from now on.

Ping is amazingly talented. I just had my 2nd larger piece done by her last month and I couldnt be happier. I get soo many compliments on her line work. She takes the time to really think through placement and every detail. The shop is clean and everyone I have encountered that works there is kind and has a good sense a humor. Cant recommend them enough!

Awesome tattoo shop. Okie does amazing work. He knows how to take my idea and turn it into a one of a kind tattoo. Amanda, Sam, Ping and Henry make the atmosphere what a tattoo shop should be. I highly recommend the artists in this shop.

Had some amazing work done by Ping! She was very receptive to my ideas, quick to respond, and creative in findings ways to include everything I wanted! Highly recommend! The shop itself was also very nice, had free 4 hour parking lot next door, and very friendly staff, all at a great price!

I only came here as a drop in since my regular tattoo artist was booked 3 weeks in advance. I really wanted to get a tattoo on a specific day to commemorate something and Idolize was open.

Really unhappy with the work done by Katy and with the fact that they stood by their poor tattoo execution, instead of offering to correct it or giving me a refund. $150 for a tat plus $30 for a tip down the toilet..

- She used the wrong size needles on my tattoo
- She was very heavy handed on the tattoo
- She stretched the skin too much, there was some of blow out
- The black ink was not distributed correctly

* After correcting my tattoo in another shop, I realized that Idolize also

- Did not show expiration date of the needle
- Did not have sanitary covers on the table
- I had to lay on the bed without head support, which was very uncomfortable. A seat would have been a much better choice.

* They very friendly, that's the only plus.

This was her email response to my concerns (maybe her boss told her to say it, I don't know).

"Again, the skin being textured while still in the healing process can seem to warp or distort some parts. I see what you mean about some of the angles not appearing as sharp, but small details like these are within the range of normal variation between the stencil and the finished tattoo. Tattoos are a handmade piece of art, not a photocopy, and you have to allow for some tiny variances for a 2-dimensional flat design that has been transferred to a 3-dimensional, curved, soft surface. As the ink heals and settles into the skin, it will spread a bit, so in a few months the tiny angles and lines will all smooth out anyway."

- Sounds like an excuse

I attached pics from when the tattoo was already healed done by Idolize, My Design and Corrected Version by another artist. As you can see, the design was super easy, and it wasn't that difficult to take the time to select the correct size needle and do a diligent job.

She said in the email "You approved the design before I tattooed it and you approved the final product before you left the shop."

Design stencil was good, but when I left the shop, the tattoo was so swollen, and the lines were so warped, it was hard to see how crooked they will end up.

I am just really sad that an artist and a business would stand by their poor work. I don't recommend this shop. They are never booked and always begging for customers, and that should say something. What I learned is that a quality shop will always offer a refund or a chance to fix the issue, and a good artist is usually booked a few weeks ahead.

Let the email comments and the pics speak for themselves.

Amanda is simply the best! She has done several pieces for me and I would recommend her fantastic talents to anyone wanting a true work of wearable art! Not to mention, she is so easy to work with and easy-going in general, which really adds to the whole experience and calms your nerves under stress. I couldn’t be happier with be work that she has done for me!!!!!

Clean linework fair prices and friendly dudes. What more can you ask for?
