I may get a lot of wrath for this but I believe the public should see the truth about Perfection Demographics. I went in almost a month ago for my "consultation", this consisted of Stephen Knight asking what I wanted (a simple quote with some shading) and then going on to state that he was booked until January. I opted to use the other artist they had so I could have my tattoo done earlier, they told me he would be in contact soon to set up my appointment....two weeks went by no call. I decided to call again to follow up, understanding how busy they are, they then told me he had been out of town and "just got back" (even though he had been in the shop when I went there the first time) and I could expect a call in a few days. Did I receive a call,no! Another week and a half has passed with no word from this so called requitable shop. To say I am disappointed in the professionalism of this place is an understatement. There is one thing to be busy, but to blow off a client, that is just unacceptable. They may do great work but that would require them to actual book you in the "busy schedule".
Review Source:I am blown away at how talented and professional Stephen Knight is. I had 3 tattoos redone and I am amazed at the color and detail that definitely was NOT there before! I knew that he was going to implement his own style and technique and I totally trusted his judgement and they came out better than I could have ever imagined! I will NEVER go to another tattoo shop as long as I live! I look forward to getting the next 6 tattoos we have in the works!
Review Source:I had cosmetic tattooing done 4 years ago somewhere else and it had basically all faded away so I researched around and found Kate. The reviews were right where they said this place is clean. That's really important to me and one of the main reasons I chose this place.
When she first started, I got scared because I remembered how much pain my first time was... but Kate reassured me that the anesthetics will kick in fast and man did it! Now I'm mad that my first lady made me go through so much pain 4 years ago! Kate did it much faster and it was soooo much easier.
One of the best parts is that Kate lets you touchup for free within a year, I think. So any imperfections or fading... go back in and touch it up! I'm really happy with that because my first lady said anything after our two appointments, there would be a charge. This help a lot because its hard to tell how the eyeliner looks right after because there's minor swelling and it makes the line look much bigger.
ARGH. Why didn't I find you first Kate?!
I will not go anywhere else for a tattoo now
I found Perfection after attending the tattoo Freedom Expo in Rosemont. The fact they were located in Des Plaines is what caught my attention since that is also where I'm located and its not like there are too many other tattoo parlors in the NW burbs.
First of all, if you aren't looking for this place or don't know where it is, you wont find it. It is set within a small group of office type storefronts and looks more like a doctors office than a tattoo parlour, even when you walk in. In fact, if it weren't for the racks of stock tattoo designs you'd probably think you were signing up for a dental exam.
But than you meet the artists.
Kurt did my latest tattoo and even though he's one of their newer artists, he was nothing but professional throughout the entire experience. He didn't protest once if I asked for something changed or reworked and came across as more concerned for me getting the art done that I really wanted and liked than just inking me and taking the cash.
Speaking of cash, their prices were completely and utterly reasonable in terms of ink. Definetly have the best prices around that I've found, especially considering the quality you get in return.
The place is super clean and super concerned about sanitary issues. I felt very safe the entire time.
I can't speak highly enough of this place, they have all my future business.
Two words, "Stephen Knight." I've been tattooed at a few different locations and I have to say that I think that this studio is by far the best place to date. Clean, fair pricing and best of all, great work. I had a half sleeve started at a Chicago place only to have the "artist" disappear after the initial line work was done. Stephen was able to finish the piece and I have been hooked ever since. Tattoos are forever do yourself a favor and go see someone who will do them right!
Review Source:There is certainly a reason why you won't ever read a bad review about Perfection Dermagraphics...they simply don't exist. This is honestly the best tattooing gets.
Stephen Knight, the senior tattooist, is absolutely brilliant and a great guy. All of his work, especially his custom stuff, will have you floored. No wonder he's practically always working on a piece if you ever walk in the place. He did my first big tattoo and I'm in awe over it. It looks so good and he did great, especially since he worked on me for over 6 hours. He even said he would touch it up for free or add on a bit if I ever wanted to.
The best part is that the folks at Perfection really care about their customers. For a week Stephen and I kept in touch via email about the design I wanted. Never once was he or anyone else at Perfection rude or unprofessional.
Finally, their prices are outstanding. I was quoted a price online after sending him my design. And when I got to the studio...guess what...it was the same price! I'd like to see Jade Dragon or Tattoo Factory actually do that!
In conclusion, you will love this place. It's immaculate like a doctor's office and they have great tattoo artists and a great business. If you're serious about a kickass tattoo, call up Stephen or Joe. And for the ladies that are interested in cosmetic tattooing, Kate and Jen do fabulous work as well.
