I have been wanting a tattoo for a very long time and had anxieties about getting one that was done well and by someone that had the artistic ability and professionalism I wanted. Although the tattoo I chose didn't require much, it was important for me to feel like my vision would be accomplished. My nephew has been seeing Jay for his art and I felt confident to book an appointment and finally get the tattoo, I had been wanting. Jay was very professional and my tattoo is amazing. I couldn't be happier. I have another idea for one more tattoo and am certain there is no other place I would go, but to Jay at External....
Review Source:This is my favorite tattoo shop of all the places I've been. It's clean, the artists have good reputations and great portolios to back them up.
There are two things I think people scoping Yelp should find on Yelp regarding tattoo shops. Cleanliness and reputation.
The rest of the research you have to do on your own. Go to the shop and ask to see portfolios or see if you can peek in on somebody else getting tattooed. Look with your special eyes and see if you like what you're seeing.
Gloves, ointment, ink cups, proper plastic shields on all bottles and ridged items, clean environment, solid work being done. You can't necessarily find that on Yelp.
Ask the artist why they use the soap or ointment they use. Ask what their aftercare instructions are. Talk out a price you're both comfortable with. There's my advice.
I have been getting tattooed here for years. I have several tattoos done by Jay as well as several from Dennis, who also works here & is equally as amazing. Jay is an amazing artist and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I've also had friends and family members tattooed and pierced here. The shop is clean and professional and I highly recommend any of the artists!!
Review Source:I will never go anywhere else to get work done again. Â I made an appointment with Caryl Cunningham in September and she was booked through December. Â I did a lot of research on artists in the area and I was totally impressed by her work, the fact that she's a woman in a predominantly male profession, and that she seemed really kind and down to earth which, from what I've found, is rare in the tattoo world.
I just got the tattoo almost two weeks ago now and I couldn't be happier with it. Â Caryl was very professional, her shop is extremely clean and I felt really comfortable there. She was really fun to chat with during my 5.5 hour sitting and she did impeccable work. Â She took the two crappy pictures that I printed off the internet and incorporated them together into a gorgeous piece of art.
I have gotten so many compliments on my new piece already and I have been asked for Caryl's information many times as well.
I'll definitely be back.
This place is really nice. It's a newer location and each room is kept pretty clean. I've gotten two tattoos and one piercing here over the course of three years. The artists are typical like any shop... walk in and they ignore you and judge you. But after they get over themselves, they do pretty good work. I recommend them. If you use a credit card here, they charge you $5, which is pretty crappy in my opinion. But you have to take your bads with your goods, you know?
