Beyond the Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery

Such an amazing experience! Lindsey gave his honest opinion and helped me get the perfect tattoos. He was very patient, very thorough. I was nervous but he made me feel so comfortable and he was funny! What a great atmosphere. I will be back, for sure! Gorgeous artwork by Lindsey all around the shop, too. I got all solid black, but next time I will come for some color! Great job. Best birthday!

Great shop. Makes you real comfortable through the whole process.

The other reviews on here are really shocking to me.  I did not have the experience of the other yelpers; maybe because an artist other than Johnson was doing the actual piece... I don't know.  My first session was in February 2012, I was getting my side piece started (top of hip to lower ribs, so I was there for 3 hours).  My artist had great table side manners and was really attentive to my comfort level.  Frankly, the physical pain was secondary.

I was the only customer in the shop I didn't get a say in the atmosphere at all (which really isn't unusual but it's contrary to other experiences here), Johnson and his friends were hanging out eating Thai food and had to talk over the loud music.  If the phone rang my artist had to put her machine down and answer.  It was ridiculous.

I explicitly requested my second appointment take place when he was gone.

I'm not saying he isn't nice, I'm not saying he isn't talented but I'd never go back.
