Element Tattoo Studio

Too many tattoo artist there ranging from amazing to horrible.  Unfortunately I got the horrible. How was I supposed to know. My tattoo hasn't properly healed yet and I got it over 2 months ago. My other tattoos healed within 2 weeks at the most.    It is embarrassing because even though it is almost healed (or so I hope) it is all blown out and looks like a prison tattoo. At first I thought I had an infection or my body was rejecting the tattoo because it was red and inflamed.    But, after a few weeks that cleared up.  I was afraid I would have to go to the doctor and just get told I am an idiot for getting a tattoo.  I know I will never go back there again.  And my experience was so bad there I wouldn't want any of my friends to go there.   The tattoo even hurt worse than all of my other tattoos like he was purposely trying to hurt me or he was digging for gold.  Either way I am not happy and will have to get this tattoo covered once it is healed if it ever does heal.  I was thinking about having it removed but the blow outs are so bad.  The new guys need to not work the week night shifts.  They need to sit around and watch the veterans and practice on each other.  NO TOUCHING CUSTOMERS!!!  You just lost one who has a bunch of tattoos and wants more because of your ignorance.  Someone else will get my business but next time I will do a hell of a lot of research.  Apparently good reviews aren't all they cracked up to be.

TOTALLY READ THE REVIEW BELOW ME.  RICK did my tattoo.  I think it is funny the guy below me thinks this guy is amazing.  He is horrible.  I checked all of my information from the night I got my tattoo and it was Rick who did it.  Maybe he was drunk or high or having a  bad day when he did my tattoo.

It's not often that you walk into a tattoo shop and don't feel like you've instantly been whisked away to hell's pit of fire.  You won't get that feeling here and that's super righteous to me!  I went into for a tribal shoulder piece and ended up getting hooked up with an appointment with Rick.  This guy is LEGIT y'all! I gave him 2 concepts of what I wanted and took those and freaking designed a whole masterpiece on my shoulder, arm, neck, back and chest. Biggest piece i've ever been "shredded with".. btw.. they call it "you're shredded now".. The whole place just screams "bad ass"!  Rick certainly knows his craft and I would HIGHLY recommend him, especially as an artist that can sit there; stare at a few photos and then just completely create an original masterpiece, outline it AND fill it in all in 6 hours!  Rick's a pure tattoo genius!  Oh and of course the place is SUPER clean and VERY well managed!  These guys are the real deal and all the guys I met while in there for 6 hours were TOP NOTCH artists!  Last, but certainly not least.. they are VERY reasonable on price and in my opinion the best bang for your buck you can get if you want to get "shredded up" right!

When my beloved kitty I've had since childhood was killed, I knew I wanted my first colour tattoo to be of him. I did some research, then called Austin with the idea and he had me come in the same day to talk further. I thought I wanted it on my forearm, but he convinced me to get it larger and on my thigh - I am so grateful! I had a rough sketch and some images that I sent him and what he came up with was so beautiful and completely captured the essence of my little boy. I felt very comfortable leaving this special piece in his hands; I could really tell that he was the person to do it (also a cat lover and a father). The colours are beautiful and vibrant and the line work is impeccable. He is a true and respectful artist; you can tell that he put a lot of time and effort into this piece. If I wasn't moving shortly, I would surely keep coming back to him. I now have lots of respect for Austin, he has done a lot for the healing process. Thank you, I couldn't be happier.
