Absolutely love this shop!
The artists are talented! The staff are friendly and nice!
I found this place online browsing portfolios. I thought all the artists were excellent but decided to go with Andrea since she was more of what I was looking for in style. She worked on my chest and arm and is uberly amazing. She is totally talented with a professional background in fine arts and knows what a girl wants! I used to go to another artist prior to her who while I loved his work, I dreaded appointments with because it always felt longer and more painful. With Andrea, they feel shorter and less painful. She is really understanding with pain and checks in on you. Great person to work with!
I drive an hour and a half to see each almost every month!
Good pricing.
Good location.
Although parking can be a pain sometimes!
Excellent tattoo place!
Great and friendly staff and artists.
I recommend getting an appointment since they are always pretty booked. We had a miracle of someone canceling and they were able to squeeze my friend and I.
They are really clean too. Not overpriced at all!!
My artist was Joe and he was the best! Patient and quick too!
Overall great experience here!
Very glad I chose this shop!
I was a first timer and had a very specific image in my head. I searched artists galleries for months trying to find an artist who matched what I saw in my head. It was then I stumbled across Emily Sloman. Her work in photo realism and black and grey was perfect. But that's not where the good part ends.
Emily talked everything out with me. Explained how things worked, how they'd look over time. She was very detailed. We didn't go with my first choice, and she explained the difficulty in getting it done to what I wanted. But we did go with my second choice. She also made it clear that I could ask her any and all questions. And I asked her a ton of questions. She's very personable. But besides all that, my tattoo was done exactly how I saw it. Â
I like Emily so much, that not only am I planning on going back, I feel guilty even looking at other artist's galleries.
Some suggestions if it's a first time for you:
-Have more than one design or image with you when you come in for your consultation. It's a piece of art. but what looks good on paper may not work quite as well on skin. Different mediums and all.
-Have an open mind
-Ask Questions. It's going on you forever. And, I think an artist should be able to work with you on that.
-Be prepared to wait. Finding a good artist is critical. But a good artist will get booked up. I had to wait weeks to get mine done. But it was worth it. Also, if it's going to take more than one session, book a few at once. Don't wait until the first session is done to book your next.
Hope you like yours as much as I love mine!
