I have had four tattoos from three different artists at The Ink Shop, all done well... I just did a Day Of The Dead portrait with Freddy and it came out beautifully (second tat with Freddy)... clean shop, good atmosphere, affordable rates... no sketchy sorts hanging around, no gang vibe... totally professional...
Review Source:I was tattooed by Freddy this week. Â HE IS AMAZING! Â He put together a tattoo that I probably could have explained better. Â He nailed what I wanted and Incorporated stuff that I didn't realize would have made a difference. Â I cannot stop looking at my tattoo and smiling.
I was also happy to see the shop is HUGE! Â Another person was getting a fairly large tattoo and I didn't feel like we were sitting on top of each other but could converse easily. Â There was also street traffic and I never felt like I was being gawked at by random people that walked into the shop. Â But, Â I was able to see the other artist interact with them and see some of their work as well. Â I would go to anyone of them for more work...However, I feel like I found my artist in Freddy. Â
During my tattoo, yes...IT HURT, but He was very up front w/what to expect and it was not my 1st. Â I did not bleed a drop druing my session and Freddy was very aware of and if I needed a break. Â (thank goodness)
Of course Freddy reiterated how to keep it clean and what to avoid.
This is by far the best healing I have ever had for a tattoo....it's been a couple days and thus far zero scabbing, zero 'goo' and zero bleeding. Â Freddy has set the bar really high and I am already planning my next session with him.
About the artist, Freddy Robbles:
I was referred to Freddy by a mutual friend who grew up with him. Naturally, I was a bit skeptical when you get the ol', "Oh you want a tattoo? My friend is an artist." but all that was put to rest when I saw his work.
Freddy has a unique style that he makes his own. I could go on all day about how talented he is, but really his work speaks for itself.
I couldnt have been happier with how my piece came out, and I will definitely be back for more work in the future.
About the shop itself:
The first thing I thought when I walked into their shop was, "These guys are not only tattoo artists, they are artists in the purest sense."
Lots of their artwork is around the shop, which shows what kind of pride they take in their work. The shop is very tidy, everything put away in its place, the crew is really laid back, often walking over and inspecting each other's work and interacting with each other.
Overall, I dont have enough good things to say about my experience there, but dont just take my word for it, check it out yourself.
Thanks Johnny! Whats up Freddie!!
I love getting tatted by Johnny. He's so talented as an artist first of all, he has a light hand, and he's fucking chill.
He did a cover up for me and you really can't see what it was before. I'm not a talker while I'm getting inked and having your artist understand you and the way you work is great. Every once in a while he'll ask if I'm ok just to make sure.
It might be kind of hard matching schedules but the staff will try to work a date out with you.
Parking can be tight but I've managed to find a spot every time I went.
I got all my work done here (minus two) by Freddy Robles!! I love this place and everyone who works here. All the artists are friendly and personable, and you feel at ease and well taken care of. I love Freddy's work, and I plan to get so much more!! I can't get enough, and I recommend it to everyone I know, 100%!!!!
Review Source:PROS:
*They were the only ones to answer the phone when I was calling around to different tattoo/piercing shops and they said they could take me right away.
CONS:
* More expensive than most places to get a bellybutton piercing ($50- versus $35- somewhere else)
*Told me that they accept credit cards but didn't tell me that they charged $5.00 extra for this privilege (if I would've known that, I would've just stopped off at the ATM before I went).
*The place was SO LOUD that I couldn't hear a word the piercer was saying, so I felt really scared about what was happening and I couldn't follow his directions.
*My piercing came out crooked.
*I didn't get any aftercare instructions (paperwork-wise) or antiseptic solution bottle to clean the piercing with (c'mon, even Claire's does that).
All in all, a very bad experience, and I do not recommend this place.
