I have gotten many tattoos from Drew. My son has 2 full sleeves that Drew has done. We have been going to him since his early days in Georgetown at Mystic Relam. All of the work he has done is custom work and I have never met a more down to earth guy that cares about his work a true artist. I have sent many of my friends to him and they have been blown away by his work, see you soon man for some more! Bryan Wright
Review Source:This was my second visit to Electric Tiger, and once again I was happy with the results.
My wife, and I visited a year ago to get our tattoos. Though we were both disappointed at first to find that the artist no longer worked there. That disappointment was short lived, as I had Drew the owner work on my new tattoo. He was fun to chat with, and I had no doubts in his work. In the end I was happy with how it turned out.
If you're going on a weekend, especially during the summer, I would suggest calling ahead for an appointment. I got to walk in last year on a summer week day, but it's still a good idea to call ahead.
I'm definitely going back again when I get my next tattoo, which will hopefully be next year. I also will suggest this place to my friends.
Let me start of by saying this place does have a good look from the outside - and you do see vintage tattoo art on the inside so it leaves you to have some faith in the place.
Once you get in there you realize that they've tried to cram as many artists into a tiny space. There was barely room to walk around.
I walk in and looked over the portfolios and wanted the owner to do my tattoo (my own design) however he was busy - and with that I was on my way out when the artist Desmond Mitchell insisted that he could handle it.
I had Desmond do my tattoo because he assured me that he was capable of doing the art that I had brought in along with assuring me that he would make sure I was happy with it - also the owner was around in the shop with other clients - so it gave me some peace of mind since he was the artist I wanted to go with in the first place.
Now that I've signed the papers and everything and he's taken time to get the stencil ready, he sits me down in this raggedy folding chair - when there were other spots with legitimate spots for tattooing available. In hindsight this should have been the final straw - but since the kid insisted and he already put in some work - I have him the benefit of the doubt.
At the end of the day - he gave me a break after the lines were done - then another in between coloring it in.
When he claimed he was "done" I went to the bathroom to use the mirror and it was colored all crazy and you couldn't see half the colors in the tattoo.
I mention this to him and he said "I'm done I'm already breaking down my equipment" So another artist comes up and doesn't even look over and said "yea it's done" trying to be intimidating.
I continue to insist that he fixes it and he won't so now the owner comes and demands that I just leave - At this point I'm so frustrated that I know if I stay I'll end up getting dragged into a mess that ends up bad for everyone.
So I leave and I make sure to give the tattoo time to heal and see what it really looks like when it's done. The coloring is horrible - the shading is done without any knowledge or skill on how to do a tattoo.
Several parts where some of the color bled over the lines along with over filling some points and disregarding a complete other part - uneven filling and shading - so many issues, however nothing that cannot be fixed.
I will have this tattoo fixed by a very reputable local artist to me and will then post before and after pics and the proof will be clear cut.
Thank God that the extent of their mistakes isn't something that cannot be fixed. Please people if you cherish your body and the work that you out on it, do not let these guys come close to you with a needle.
DO NOT GO HERE - THESE GUYS ARE RIPOFFS AND WON'T HONOR THEIR WORD!!!
I find it hard to believe that I am your first review. Â Well as with all of my tattoos I get them when vacationing. Because of that it is difficult to find someone you trust. They were not my first stop but the folks here instantly put me at ease. They're professional and reasonably priced. They were able to draw up custom artwork to my exact specs. Very happy! Â Only draw backs were I was there for 4 hours and they were very crowded in a small place.
