After reading around and doing some research, I went to get my first tattoo from Javier Acero at Snake Tattoo. For anyone getting there first tattoo, I can assure you that these guys know what they are doing and are really talented artists.
I came to the shop a few weeks before my appointment to go over the design and details. I brought along a handful of photographs and pictures of styles I wanted to closely replicate; we then came to a mutual decision on the size, look and position of the tattoo. I returned one week later to see two beautiful designs which surpassed my original expectations. Javier really wanted to make sure that I was happy with the look of the tattoo and to accommodate me in anyway possible. I was very pleased with the look of the design.
One week later I was in the chair. And to reiterate, Javier was constantly tweaking the design to make it look the best it could. I really trusted him with the work he was doing. We did one five hour session and then I returned ten days later to finish the color. Each session was very laid back, they offered me food and drinks, had netflix movies to keep your mind at ease, and great music.
If your looking for artists that have versatile, talented, and passionate work you should definitely check this shop out. The whole process couldn't have been less stressful and will be a memory that will stick with me for a lifetime. Thanks again Javier and keep up the amazing work.
