Electric Land Tattoo & Piercing Studio

The place I originally wanted to go to was closed, so I stumbled upon Electric Land on my way back home.  After I explained my tattoo idea, Todd spent time going over the details and possible changes that could be made in order to enhance and preserve the appearance of the tattoo.

After talking to him a bit more about the reason behind the tattoo and what I really wanted it to look like, he drew it up in front of me.  In all honesty, I was shocked.  The lines were perfect, even though they were very thin and small and the entire design looked gorgeous.  A few minutes later, he had the room ready to go and I hopped on in.

The room was extremely clean (as was the entire place) and he talked me through the process (it was my first tattoo).  He was incredibly nice and patient with me and waited until I was ready before he started.  The tattoo was done in no time and really was not that pricey for a rather intricate design.  I cannot say enough great things about this place and about Todd himself!

I wound up at this tattoo parlor by accident exactly a month ago. I had tried going to two other places, but they had ridiculous waiting times and I had that tattoo "itch" (you know, where you have to get a tattoo right then and there or else you're just not gonna get one? Yeah, that itch! LOL. ) So I was leaving one parlor and saw Electric Land across the street and decided to check it out. Todd immediately greeted me and my friend and let us know he'd be with us in a moment. We sat in the lobby (which was very nice and clean and spacious and the best part was it was cigarette free!). Then Todd escorted us into his work area (a very nice, clean and spacious room) and we discussed the tattoo I wanted. I actually had wanted to have some additional work done on a previous tattoo, but after close inspection, Todd let me know that it was best for me to get a coverup at a later date due to the crappy work my first artist had done. So we both decided that I'd get a new tattoo, and come back later for the coverup. Todd made several sketches for me to choose from, and he totally listened to all of my concerns and was able to incorporate all of my ideas (his design turned out even better than I thought it would!).

We wound up waiting in the additional lobby section while Todd put the finishing touches on my design. This section of the lobby had a plasma tv showing National Geographic documentaries on tattoos and the history of tattoos (it was VERY educational and entertaining!), and we were able to get nice cold water while we waited as well. The couch and chairs in the lobby areas were very clean, modern and comfortable.

Todd was an excellent artist! He was able to do my tattoo in less than 2 hours (I had told him that I needed to be out of the parlor within 3 hours). Todd had me totally at ease, and he had me and my friend cracking up the entire time. I hadn't laughed so hard in forever! His room was bright, clean, modern and all of the instruments had already been packaged and clean. Todd wore gloves and the chair I was in was awesome (the tattoo I received was on my back, so I had to lean into the chair). Compared to my first tattoo, the one Todd gave me hardly hurt at all. I was pleasantly surprised! And the price was EXCELLENT, especially considering the time, attention and the detail involved in my tattoo. Todd gave me his business card and a small sheet explaining the aftercare instructions. He told me to call him if I had any problems whatsoever with the tattoo.

My tattoo healed VERY well, and VERY quickly. My first tattoo took quite some time to heal and hurt and itched like hell. I had an excellent experience at this tattoo parlor, and I plan on returning so that Todd can hookup my coverup. I look forward to returning, and I plan on referring any and everyone who wants a tattoo to come to this parlor.
