Inkfatuation

GO to this tattoo shop.  I got my portrait of my calico cat done last night by Gilbert and he did an amazing job.  Everyone I've shown (and I've shown everyone I can) abosoultely loves it.  It came together so nice and I'm really proud to have it.  He took his time, was professional, friendly, and accomidating for breaks, etc.

I don't know what the previous negative review was about--- I literally read it before I went to get mine worked on and was a little apprehensive but I went anyways and am SO glad I did.  Everyone there was friendly and helpful as soon as I walked in.  The place was clean and looks professional.  It's not some random shady tattoo shop, these guys actually KNOW what they're doing and do a great job. I met Manuel and he was incredibly nice and didn't give off an unprofessional vibe to me or my boyfriend who was with me.  There was also a couple girls in there getting tattood other than me, and there was no unprofessional comments or conversations being made, so ladies, don't be afraid to come here.  People came around to check out eachother's progress but I don't personally find that annoying---you're at a tattoo shop---that's what people do isn't it?

I will definitely be back and tell everyone to go here if they are looking to get work done.

Recently finished three sessions with Manuel doing a koi on my back (see photos).  I couldn't be happier with it.  Being a cover-up, I was worried it might be spotty or obvious, but you can hardly tell anything was ever there.  I gave him the idea and he ran with it.  I was impressed.  The studio is clean and spacious, and the staff are friendly.  I have to give a B- on professionalism, though.  All in all, our sessions totaled about 9-10 hours and there was rarely a time when somebody wasn't in the room watching the work or just bullshitting with the artist.  There was one point where 5 people were hanging out in his room (about 8'x8') just shootin the shit while I'm in the chair with the needle in my back....really?

Brian Zolotas is the absolute best! He's done four of my six tattoos and all of them are gorgeous.  If you are looking at getting something done I can't recommend him highly enough!
