I just had my first tattoo done here. Â The experience was perfect. Â Paul helped me tweak the design and there was no pressure. Â I was nervous, but it was quick and although painful, I certainly have experienced worse! Â Don't hesitate to come here - they are professional and very good. Â Especially with the first timers.

It was my first tattoo experience. My friend had suggested to go to Amanda from Infinity, but since she's on sabbatical from tattooing I made an appointment with Sean Lanusse.
Now, I was very particular with my tattoo... I'd had the design in mind for a couple of years and wanted it to be "perfect". He too in all my ideas, worked with me to give it real form, and the next time I came in (which was a week later) we modified and refined it. He was patient with my need for perfection, but did explain that no tattoo comes out perfect... Boy, was he wrong! Anyway, worked with me to get all the lettering right, etc.
The actual experience: he made me feel very comfortable. Actually gave me a lollipop at the beginning for the sugar and cause I was nervous. The environment was nice, lots of joking around. The actual tattooing didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Honestly, I was completely fine. I did start feeling a little woozy and pukish in the middle (as if I were drunk or something). He stopped, let me breathe, got me some juice (for the sugar).
tl:dr : Great experience! Patient and comforting tattoo artist - Sean Lanusse
