Lucky Devil

I recently had a small, simple, but technically challenging tattoo done by Heidi. It is an extremely bad tattoo. The line work is very shaky, inconsistent and non-uniform. There is a major bump in an otherwise decent curve (its a band.) See photos.

When I realized the extent of how poorly executed the tattoo is, I went back to talk with her. She was defensive, and said she had warned me about this possibility. If she had initially told me that she was incapable of doing the tattoo I requested, I would agree with her assessment.

In any case, had she admitted that the tattoo was very flawed, and recommended another artist who is more able to execute a thin line band, I would really have appreciated it.

I've seen other tattoos that Heidi has done that are fine. But mine is a train wreck.

I walked in about a year ago for a small piece and I have been back several times since. This is a great shop! Heidi is awesome, and just did an amazing tattoo on my calf. She also tattooed my husband a few months back and it looks great. I have many tattoos and would highly recommend this shop- the artists are friendly and very talented, the shop is bright and comfortable and the prices are totally reasonable for the quality of work.

The extremely talented Jason Calvert has now given me two of the MOST beautiful traditional profile tattoos EVER. The colors are rich and vibrant, shading perfect and the lines are clean and have held up better than any other tattoo I have received.  I get compliments on a daily basis. The entire shop is fantastic and I have seen the most amazing tattoos come out of it (by Jason and others).  Jason made me feel comfortable and at home every time and is super easy to be around and talk too, which is SO important when you are spending hours getting tattooed (only comfortable silences, no awkward)  I will be traveling up from LA to get tattooed by him in the future, and I can not recommend this shop enough. Best in Seattle.
