  The tattoo work I received was decent.  However the shop is just dirty and unclean.  I do not know if wayne county's health department just never goes to the shop or if they do not care. The artist used no protective barriers on any surface. Had no saran wrap to be seen. Nothing was covered, the dude didnt change his gloves at all. Basically the whole shop is just asking for a mrsa infection to get passed around. No matter how cool the tattoo is, if your artist hasnt taken a blood borne pathogens class its the same as getting a kitchen tattoo.

  Apparently things have changed over the years since this place is fantastic. The shop manager was super helpful and got me a quote immediately and scheduled my appointment without any issues. The day of the appointment the artist was extremely friendly and personable, not to mention on-time. I took a lot of time to search for an artist to start and finish a full sleeve idea I have, and I found that artist with Phil. His work speaks for itself, not to mention his wall and cabinet of awards over the years. Everyone there was friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back for another session.

  This is the only place I'd go to for work. Phil is a great guy to bullshit with and a stellar artist and Patrick has worked on my GF who did an amazing job. Mike? Oh.. He is a ginger so whatev.

  Most of my tattoos are from New Skool, Phil is a dick, but that's what is fun about the place.  I literally wait until i get back to Michigan before I get my tattoos.

  Awful customer service.  The artist who tattooed me was really obnoxious and had a serious inferiority complex and the fella behind the counter was not the brightest bulb, to say the least. He asked me the same question like 10 times.
  
  While I was getting tattooed, I asked the artist how long he had been tattooing; A pretty standard question.  Instead of responding like a normal human being, he decided to be a douche and say "It doesn't matter. It's about my portfolio."  ...Dude I was just curious as to how long you've been in the business, you don't have to get all holier than thou on me.
  Later, my friend asked him who his favorite character was in Alice in Wonderland since he had all sorts of cool memorabilia all over the room.  He didn't even have the decency to humor her and make small talk.  He goes "Um. It's really not about that for me."
  
  Don't let this tiny man tattoo you unless you want to feel his tiny fingered wrath.
