Beloved Studios

I may not be FULL of tattoos, but I've been to my fair share of shops checking things out and I have to say I find myself disappointed from the get go in beloved.

First of all, MOST shops I've gone into have really friendly front desk people who are more than willing to help you figure out what artist to talk to or make an appointment with for a consult. At Beloved, my husband and I were greated with a girl who frankly acted like she was stoned out of her mind and unsure how to speak. She seemed annoyed that we were there and rolled her eyes on more than one completely unnecessary occasion.

Second, MOST shops I've gone into have been able to either have an artist consult real quick with you or make an appointment for like one of the next couple days. At Beloved, when we asked about a consult it was a week and half out because the artist had random times just blocked out in his planner for "brainstorming" the girl said.

Third, MOST shops seem busy when you go into them - there' some life, people and machines buzzing. At Beloved, both times I stopped in it was quite, without people and I did not see or hear any artists working with people.

I'm definitely not impressed and will not be going back there. My husband had made a consult appointment, but cancelled it because we found much friendlier and personable tattoo artists and employees elsewhere. I will be discouraging my friends from going here if any of them decide to get a tattoo.

Major let down.

The Shop = very professional and wont treat you like your an inconvenience. All talented artists and their portfolios say it all. Here's the deal I lost my dog of 12 years that meant the world to me. I wanted to memorialize her. I absolutely didn't want to get the tattoo of her unless it captured her smile and personality. I held extremely high standards. You don't want a tattoo of someone you lost if its going to even slightly not look like that individual. There are certain people in this world that are doing exactly what they were born to do. Brandon Heffron is one of those guys. As an artist (musician) myself you know when you've met someone who is deliberate, confident and eats and sleeps their art form. I'll be going back ! Ain't No Bout a Doubt it

Randall did an awesome job on the tattoo I wanted.  He is professional, has a great sense of humor, and talked to me through the whole thing.  Before I knew it the tattoo was done!  Great job and thanks Randall!!
