Authentic Art Studio

After a session at Authentic Art, I typically find myself at a loss for words (a truly rare thing for me).  All I can ever seem to say are things like, "Awesome!", "Amazing!", and "Perfect!".  These gentlemen are true artists and professionals.  Not only does Cory create beautiful works of art, he, Jaison, and Jordan are all warm, genuine, and enjoyable people.  The itself studio is clean, comfortable, and classy.  My husband and I have both had work done (new work as well as the some of the best-darn cover-ups I've ever seen) and we've recommended the studio to friends and family too - even my mother-in-law!  We'll never go anywhere else... these guys are the BEST, hands-down.

Top notch...being that it was only my second tattoo I was still a bit nervous. I walked in with no appointment, the first thing that struck me and had me thinking this was definitely the place for me; was the country music playing!
Jaison looked and said they had an opening in an hour and a half with Johnny...I agreed and we left. Within a half hour I got a call and they had a no show with Cory (who was the tattoo artist I had originally wanted.)
So we booked it back there as fast as we could.
Cory is awesome, he asked me what kind of music I wanted to listen to...I told him
I was digging the country, and so he put on Colt 4 which I had never heard of before but was awesome! (A more up to beat remake of popular country songs)
You can tell Cory really enjoys what he does, worked with me on my placement, he never seemed rushed or irritated.
We started and he hummed and sang along with the songs! The person I had come with me said you can tell he's very detail oriented by how focused he was while tattooing me...
The best thing was he did the outline, and then he used a topical numbing cream. I never felt another thing!!! It was amazing!!!
The tattoo turned out beautifully....I was so incredibly pleased with Cory's work.
The price was lower than I thought it would be for what And where I got the tattoo.
They also provide a free touch up :))

Besides the whole amazing experience I have to comment on how clean and up to date everything was in the shop.
Top of the line everything...
Bottom line is...I'll never go anywhere else!

Seriously, best tattoo experience ever. I talked to Jaison, the front desk area person, and he was super nice and helpful, as well as patient, over the phone.

So I went in for my tattoo today, and my artist was Johnny. Let me just say, of all the tattoo artists I've gone to, he was the most gentle. Before we even started the process of inking on my tattoo, he was super patient with me about the placement of my tattoo, and presented me with many different options. I know it sounds silly, but I was super stoked when he asked me what kind of music I'd like to listen to. As someone sensitive to loud noises which create some anxiety with me, he changed the playlist to some nice, mellow music for me.

So about my tattoo...it's beautiful, and I couldn't be more happy with it.

Price wise, it was incredibly reasonable. They also assured me that they do free touch ups too.

I can't recommend this place any higher. Best tattoo shop ever. Go see Johnny.
