Yesterday, I got my first tattoo of a narcissus flower on my wrist. It would be 5 star, but there were a couple little bumps. My appointment was for 4 although I specifically said 4:30 since I have a class that doesn't get out until 4, which isn't the worst that could happen. Also, I didn't get my sketch until the day of, but I can forgive that since it was absolutely beautiful!
I went to Daniel. He was extremely nice and definitely did his homework on the flower. The sketch he showed me wasn't what I had in mind when I first went in, but I think it works a lot better. It has a lot more dimension and life than I could have hoped for. With that all set, we started the tattoo. He started with very mild lines, which allowed me to get used to the feel without starting at full blast. He was very fun to talk to and made the whole experience a lot less stressful than I expected (to be fair, I expected it to be unbearably painful). He really listened to everything I told him and added his own twist to thing. For example, I told him I wanted the middle of the flower pink, but he added some very light orange highlights that made it gorgeous.
Daniel mentioned to us about some tattoo seminars he's going to/been to for Japanese art and portraits. It's nice to have an artist who is constantly trying to learn more. He seems very passionate about his craft, which makes getting a permanent body marking from him very comforting.
I am very happy with the quality of the tattoo and the service that I received. Everyone at the shop was very nice and accommodating and I will be going back for my next tattoo.
What a great turn around for the previous Integrity- Golden Rose!
The new staff has definitely change the shop around with a warm inviting feel each time you walk in! The receptionist is great too, Shea is always attentive and always makes you feel at home . The best part of the shop, besides the people, is that they are super clean and you know you are in good hands.
I get all my tattoos by Adrian and he is absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend him if you are looking into getting a tattoo here.
Overall, every artist there has such great work and very talented. If your looking for work that is done with great detail and artist who are passionate about what they do come check them out!
