Cherry Bomb Tattoo

there are quite a few martinsburg tattoo shops but this is the only one I would reccommend.  i like that they sell crazy clothes, platform shoes, jewelry and makeup here, too.

i had a friend doing the piercings here who was fabulous but has since moved.  the owner kim, does great piercings.  

i've gotten a full upper arm piece done by Erikka who is also no longer there.  she did a custom piece for me inspired by Salvador Dali's elephants.  I went back to get the background done by Matt and our appointment was cut short, but what he did was great.  I enjoyed singing along to Tenacious D while he worked.

most people who go in there get script, flash, and little angels all day long.  anyone in there is sufficient for these simple tattoos.  if you want a portrait or something more detailed ask for Matt.  he's award-winning and extremely talented.  his portraits are some of the best i've seen.  tip him heavily, he deserves it.

the guys all in there joke around with eachother and joke around with the customers, too, so it's a nice relaxed atmosphere.  some of the guys annoyed me because their sense of humor was based around mocking and teasing, but, whatever.  typical guys.  

the place is clean and friendly.  will be back soon to finally finish my arm hopefully!
