Can I just say... I am a huge fan of Jerry Thomas! Â He and his wifey completed my wedding/ honeymoon in the best way ever!
He's currently doing my husband's sleeve and we decided to get wedding tattoos (since we married in Vegas) so Jerry did Lucky Cats for both of us, as well as worked on my dude's sleeve. Â
I had sent some ideas to him prior to our visit.. but I knew he would come up with the best custom piece for us, and I was right... the lucky cat he drew for us was PERFECT.. Â
So, excitedly, I sat down to get tattooed first. Â He was playing my kind of tunes and having a nice conversation with me. Â Time passes... I'm done. Â I show my hubby and it's his turn. Â Jerry rocked these out so fast and perfectly. Â He is so kind and such an amazing artist... I am honored to have a custom tattoo by him.
It healed very nicely and I am stoked to see what more comes from him for my hubby's sleeve! Â
Btw.. I really like that he uses natural and organic products and doesn't use A&D like a lot of artists do.
Yay!
Jerry
Since its so hard for you to comprehend, let me state again.. I don't think you're art is horrible, its decent, beside the fact that it's re-used. I kept coming back for the ridiculously low prices and for what I thought was "custom work." I am now working with another artist who's going over what you tattooed on me and after the first session it looks a hundred times better. I may be paying a little more, but it looks a lot better and I'm not waiting 3-4 hours on that couch for my tattoo artist to even acknowledge me. Also let me verify that when you use the same picture, making it a different "color" doesn't mean its customized..it means you're using people like they're some sort of coloring book with the same picture. Trust me I've seen many of your clients.. IT'S THE SAME. Last thing, here's a news flash... I understand that you have a family, but so do your clients. They have families to go home to too while you waste their time.. and every time that I've booked an appointment , I have NEVER refused to wait a 4 week period. YOU CHOSE the times and I adjusted myself to YOUR schedule and you STILL couldn't start on time. Even when clients are booked way ahead of schedule, you still find some way to jack it up and waste mine and everyone else's  time. I don't want anything from you.. No tattoos/accommodations/nothing. I'm just hoping you realize this is no way to treat your clients no matter how cheap your tattoos are. I regret sending my friends to you because they have gone through the same thing.. and all they want to do is to have you finish their tattoo but you seem to flake all the time.
Adding a second review since I traveled to Vegas recently and was able to get my tattoo worked by Jerry in the parlor this time.
Jerry's doing my whole right arm sleeve right now and it rocks so far. Â Planned an entire video game idea and he's been fantastic with blending everything together and giving it life. Â I can't wait to have my whole arm finished whenever we're able to meet up in the future. Â Jerry's an extremely relaxing artist to work with and he plays great music in the parlor too.
This place is on the eastside, and tucked away into a strip mall. Â It's not a trendy, hi-end spot...these guys are real artists doing real work. Â
Jerry, owner, has a calm, positive energy...and true artistic talent.  His brag books are impressive (he's got hundreds of custom fonts), and he apparently does Ne-Yo's body art.  In his workspace, he's got  books on various world cultures and the history of symbols.  I'm pretty sure he even had a copy of the Tibetan book of the Dead.  He's studied in Thailand, China & Japan, and mentioned that he's been invited as a guest artist to shops in Japan and the UK.  These guys know their craft and take it seriously. Â
I have to gripe because we had to wait 2 hours before even sitting down.  But once in the chair, they were quick, efficient, and had gentle hands.  I paid  $70 for a nice touch-up from his apprentice on a decade-old tat.  And I will be back next week.  I explained to Jerry what I wanted for my next tat...he got it immediately.  He's designing it now and I know it will be stunning.
