The Constable Tattoo Parlor

I forgot the girls name that did my husbands tattoo (at the time, a year ago, she was the only girl there). She did such an amazing job. We had my sons baby feet tattooed on my husbands leg, the actual size of his feet. I had called around to other shops and was told by 2 other artist that they would have to  enlarge the footprints we had of my sons foot to maximize the detail, but the whole point of the tattoo was to have the little tiny life size prints, not enlarged ones. So glad I found The Constables. (Found them through reviews on yelp). Highly recommend! The shop is super clean and neat.

At the time of writing this, I am 28 and have been to a handful of tattoo shops.  In my experience, tattoo artists can be very...stand-offish, somewhat elite-est, and downright intimidating.  My first couple of tattoos were by people who could tell that I was inexperienced in the whole process and completely took me for a ride.  I was lucky enough to meet one of the artists from The Constable at my work, he invited me to check out the shop so, as they say, the rest is history.  If you are looking for a clean, fun, and inviting shop, I can't recommend anyplace else higher than The Constable. Very talented individuals, honest, and friendly artists.

Words cannot express how happy I am that I found this shop.  I worked with Brendan to go from taking a bunch of ideas and putting it into a freaking masterpiece that I get compliments on every day.

When I walked into the shop, the first thing that I noticed was that it was IMMACULATE.  That was contradictory to the decor, though: total guy's hang out sort of flare from the sports memorabilia to the music playing.  It was awesome to go to a place that wasn't all "black and red are the only awesome colors in the world" decor. And, as I was only stopping in to check the place out initially, I was with my sister and 9 month old nephew at the time.  Every guy in there was super nice to a little baby.  Fan-freaking-tastic to both of us...anyone who can be kind to a kid when he's not exactly where he wants to be gets an A in my book.   I spoke with one of the people there and was impressed when after hearing my ideas that he recommended not himself but another artist in the shop and pointed me to his portfolio.  That was so refreshing...it made me really feel like he wasn't just out to make a buck off of me and was interested in the artistic side of the piece.

I made the appointment and commenced emailing with Brendan to get all of my ideas down into one piece.  I appreciated that so much; made me really think that I was getting something custom and meaningful instead of just a stock piece from a pile.

Coming back for the tattoo to celebrate my 30th birthday with my best friend and sister was great.  Brendan has a great attitude and was super professional about his work.  (He may have air drummed when he thought I wasn't looking, but that's cool).  It was painless and an enjoyable experience.  I cannot wait to go back for my next piece.  I'd work with any artist in that shop.  

I've recommended at least 2 friends here and they have both been very satisfied with their work, too.  I want to get over there soon and check out the artist gallery that's next door soon.
