Armadillo Reds

  Armadillo Reds has a great reputation that precedes them in the Kissimmee/Orlando area.
  
  Bodah did my most recent and largest tattoo. It was a spur of the moment thing. He had an opening in his schedule and I had the time. We threw some ideas back and forth and came up with a CRAZY AMAZING Giger inspired/biomech/eye piece for my thigh, which I am COMPLETELY STOKED ABOUT. It went from, "I just want a tattoo here," to "I want you to do my entire leg." Bodah's style is reminiscent of a painting, classical works of art. Let me not forget to mention how personable, chill and down to earth he is.
  
  I always seemed to associate great tattoos to pretentious tattoo artists. I came to realize this was false, and boy was I glad to.

  I can write a whole dissertation on how amazing I think Bodah is, and how much I think you should go and see him if you want a totally rad piece of art on your dermis, but I won't. I will just merely state that in my experience visiting tattoo parlor after tattoo parlor I haven't quite felt as welcome and catered to as I have at Armadillo Reds whether in Kissimmee or in St. Cloud.
  
  Consider Armadillo Reds for your next tattoo, hit up the shop, meet the artists, and check out their portfolios. You will be uber glad you did!

  My grandfather, the greatest man I've ever known, recently passed away.  So naturally (well for me at least) I wanted to get a tattoo in his honor.   After seeing some of his work with realism, I contacted Bodah, who I heard of from my girlfriend.  It was really great that he too was excited about my tattoo and understood its significance.  A nice change of pace from my past experiences.
  
  So on my spring break from medical school, I flew in to Florida to meet Bodah at Armadillo Reds.  Soon enough we began what would end up being a 7 hour session  and the greatest tattoo I have ever had the "pleasure" of enduring.  Bodah really came through and the results are impressive.  Red himself even came to admire the results of his work.  
  
  In addition to being a great artist, he's also a super cool guy.  During those 7 hours I got to know a lot about him.  For example, he's been through a lot of crazy stuff having served in the special forces.  I tried to let him focus on his work most of the time, but it's hard not to talk for 7 hours.  For some artists, it's like pulling teeth, but Bodah was always happy to talk or tell stories.  (Some advice:  Rock/alternative is the music of choice for the shop, so if that's not something you're into bring you're own mp3 and headphones).
  
  All in all, Bodah is a prime professional.  He is honest and will let you know his opinions and advice on your tattoo.  That may make some people upset, but he knows his stuff and the results prove so.
  
  So if you're going to be in the area and  you're looking for a reputable tattoo parlor, you know where to go and whom to seek.  But hey, that's just my $0.02.
