Dawn Purnell is world-class, for sure. Â We're lucky to have her in Santa Fe, because she's worth traveling for--and, after having seen her work, I'd have gone whereever I needed to to have her do my shoulder piece.
She's a real pleasure to work with. Â I tend to stay quiet and not like to chat too much while I'm in the chair, and during one of our longer sessions, after wiping away the smeared ink to look at the progress, she just said softly, "I love tattooing." Â
She's worth the wait, which can be long, and worth the cost, which is high (but not for an artist of her caliber!). Â If you're investing the time and money and space on your body for a piece of art, you won't do better than to get in with Dawn.
Beware of having anyone do your tattoo but Dawn. My tattoo was unfinished, I had paid her shop in full - $780.00. When I called to have my final session I was told the artist had left the shop and that her shop was not responsible for my Tattoo.But she had no problem taking my Visa card! Yeah Dawn is an Artist
