Deciding where to go and who to trust with your body is no easy task. After much research and recommendations from my friends I decided to go to Modern Electric for both a tattoo and piercings.
Jsin, the piercer was amazing. He was informative, attentive, and understood my nerves. Because I was getting pierced where I had already been I had lots of questions about scar tissue. He completely put my mind at ease and made removing my top a non-issue.
Chris fixed up an old tattoo for me that was done by a non-professional (I was young and dumb). Prior to speaking with him I was concerned that the tattoo was so far gone it would never look like I wanted it too. He was able to adjust the outline to even it up, fill in a lot of gaps, and make the entire thing black (previously a multicolored tat). His work is awesome and I intend on going back to him for another cover up.
As far as the shop goes it was very clean. My experience with tat shops have been standard - not everything is in its place and the walls are covered in standard flash. Not Modern Electric. While there is art, it's fairly obvious that the pieces were drawn by the artists - a huge selling point. And while it was clear that I was in a sterile environment, it didn't feel as cold as a hospital.
All the staff I had the pleasure of speaking to were warm, kind, and friendly.
Overall, regardless if your new to tattoos and piercings or an old pro there is nothing about Modern Electric that you won't appreciate.
What's with all the 5 star reviews? Â Every day (sometimes multiple times a day) there is someone posting a 5 star review. Â Most of these 'reviews' are posted by by an account with no reviews for any other business. Â Can we say multiple accounts? Â Also, most reviews seem to say the same thing.
After all of these 5 star 'reviews' I decided to check it out for myself.
While browsing the variety of tats available an employee asked if I had decided on a design yet. Â I replied, "No, I'm just checking out the art." Â Very rudely he stated, "If you're not gonna buy anything you need to leave." Â Mind you, I had only been there a few minutes and hadn't even been able to look at everything. Â LOL @ the last 'review' stating "...no one ever seems to be under the influence of anything..." because the rude guy that confronted me appeared to be a tweaker (meth user).
Yeah, it's clean in there but it just opened... Â give them time. Â Maybe it stays so clean because their janitor is spun out so he cleans like crazy. Â And he scares off potential customers. Â That keeps it clean I guess.
Anyplace that has to post so many fake 5 star reviews must be having problems. Â Yelp isn't supposed to be free advertising through many fake 5 star reviews!
