Mike Sikes is AMAZING!
He's most definitely worth the wait... and I'm glad that I waited almost a year to get inked by him! Â If you're going for color, you're in for a treat. Â Even though I'm naturally tan, the color on my skin is VIBRANT! Â (For those who wonder -- I have a chrysanthemum on my back in shades of red and orange)
He's extremely professional, flawlessly clean, and his work is AWESOME. Â He's easygoing and has a warm personality -- so you'll definitely feel like you're in good hands.
I'm totally looking forward to getting additional work done by him! Â He's THE BEST tattoo artist in this area!
Apparently my first review was filtered out and I didn't even notice!
It was the only review I had ever written and the only reason I signed up for yelp! in the first place...but maybe that looked fishy to the filter or something?
Mike Sikes at Eyespeak Tattoo is an incredible artist!
I got my first tattoo from him in 1993 and I now have 6 pieces of his work.
He's meticulously clean, shows extreme attention to details and has a really unique style. Don't take that to mean he only draws in one style - because he can do anything from Traditional to Asian to incredibly lifelike flora and fauna.
He did 2 huge pinup girls for me, one on each thigh. One is all grey shading, no linework at all, it looks like a charcoal drawing. The other one is all color, traditional with a Sikes signature to it. He actually drew it up from my description with no visual reference. I also have some smaller pieces, which he took care of quickly and with a lot of patience - I am kind of a wuss about needles.
I now live in Austin, Texas, so it's hard for me to still get tattooed by Mike, but if I still lived in VA, I would have a lot more of his work covering my skin!
He has a lot of clients with HUGE back & chest pieces, sleeves and full legs. If you are looking for amazing, custom, one of a kind work that will be done in a professional, artistic manner - you should call Mike at Eyespeak.
I know its weird...i haven't even gotten a tattoo from him YET....but I saw a girl at starbucks about 2 years ago.....it was the MOST INSANE COLORS!!! it was a peacock feather on her back....i asked her who did it, and she said Mike Sykes did......I am WAITING to get a tattoo from this guy, i had never seen color like this.....and she even said she got it done about 1.5 years ago and it was still that bright. Â amazing.....hopefully the day is sooner than later....he is not taking new clients right now :-/ i guess i have to be patient.
