Drastic Changes Tattoo Studio

UPDATE: after waiting 3 weeks i finally got to hit drastic for my second sitting with Jay. He remembered right were we left off and the overall look i had in mind for the tattoo. He actually even remembered the conversations we had over a month ago, asking me how things were going and just making his client genuinely comfortable. The most frustrating thing for me is how long color takes to blend, im extremely anxious to have a finished Jay Rizzo piece that i can show off instead of trying to explain what parts he overhauled. Patience is a virtue with tattoos, drastic changes isnt about scheduling you the next day to get more of your cash, theyre true professionals that prefer your work to heal 100% before working on it or near it again. This really stands out to a client, theyre not tattoing slow,hoping to lock in another appointment before you leave. Instead they rely on healed exceptional artwork to speak for itself and keep people coming back. Remember guys, color takes time! If you can feel the needle, your money is being well spent. There was no rushing of my tattoo but also jay didnt stall in any way. Even when in conversation with a fellow artist he did not let up. At drastic your definitely getting your moneys worth. Also tip your artist well, esp if this review sends you to Jay. I tip very well and they always remember that,which in turn makes your artist want to show you hes worth every penny. I will continue to only go here, even after jay finishes this piece on my arm. Cant wait for 3 weeks to pass so i can get in the chair again. If anyone from the shop happens to see this, keep up the excellent customer service fellas. What up drastic what up Jay, cya soon guys.

My wife and I walked in there with our 5 year old daughter to get my fathers day present. Three little Apples on my wrist in Honor of my daughter. They were able to get to us immediately. Jay was a true professional, took the design and made slight adjustments to both my wife's and my own design so they wouldn't be identical. They even put my little Pony on the TV in the shop for my daughter to watch while we were getting our ink done. So happy we drove in and met the guys. Excellent shop and I am already ramping up for a much larger full sleeve. Can't wait to work with Jay again to see what he has in mind!

My big brother got his first tattoo done by Brandon at Bloodthirsty and so when I turned 18, that is where he took me to get my first tattoo. I followed Brandon to Drastic Changes and have been coming back to him every year since (four years now). I have only seen one other tattoo artist in the past, but I honestly regret it and wish I had just stuck with Brandon.

Recently he moved to Colorado, but before he left we were starting up my half sleeve which I am SO STOKED FOR! He is the only guy I will let tattoo me from now on, so I will patiently wait until he is able to fly back out here. I'm not sure if it is difficult to tattoo dark skin, but I feel like the one time I strayed from Brandon, my tattoo ended up looking pretty heavy-handed. I can still feel my skin raised where this other guy tattooed me. I do not have this problem when Brandon tattoos me though. I know I can be prepared for something beautiful when he is finished, and it always heals very nicely.


Drastic changes is a clean and professional environment. I do not feel like I am being ripped off for what I am quoted, and I know Brandon is going to do his best every time. I'm really happy to have been introduced to this place.
