Physical Graffiti is the best of the best in Rochester hands down. Gooch is my guy but I've also gotten tattoos by Joel and Bob (who is no longer there). Everyone in the shop is excellent. Their prices are fair and I know that if they tell me something can't be done, it can't be done. I don't live in Rochester anymore but anytime I get back to the ROC I try to get in with Gooch. He is wonderful! Don't try to find a bargain, this is artwork that will be on you forever! Go somewhere good.
Review Source:I got my very first tattoo by Gooch in 2006 and came back to him for every tattoo I have (a dragon on my hip, Celtic heart on my wrist, and a Chinese symbol for 'life' on m right wrist) except for one because I moved to California this year. He has amazing talent and I love and appreciate his no-b.s. attitude. When I brought in what I wanted tattooed, and would tell him an idea, he made it better than I could have ever imagined. Â Gooch takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows. I still get tons of compliments 5 years later, and I always have and will recommend him. I made damn sure that I followed his aftercare instructions perfectly to keep his work pristine. He definitely is a true artist, and I have always loved his personal touch in his work. Most of my friends have had tattoos by him, and he was even featured in an issue of the Rochester Insider a few years back. This guy knows what he is doing, and if I am ever in the market for a new tattoo when I visit Rochester, he will be my first and only stop.
Review Source:Every time I come here I never have any issues. I don't have any tattoos but I have gotten my nose, tragus, and snug pierced here and each time I have no complaints. Â Faith pierced my tragus and snug, each time she's so nice, calm, and will fully inform me on how to keep it clean. Â They use the best surgical steel so it decreases the chance of an allergic reaction. Â
I made the mistake of going to Pink Armadillo to get my other tragus pierced because they were cheaper and I thought I was going to die (I will write about them shortly). Â But I went to Faith and she removed the earring and said the steel could have been cheap, which caused my ear to not agree with it and to keep swelling up. Â She gave me a voucher to come back when it heals to get it re-pierced for free and just pay for the earring. Â She didn't have to offer that at all since I didn't get the piercing done there. Â Needless to say, I'm too scared to get my other tragus done again so I got the snug piercing. Â If I do consider getting another piercing, I won't hesitate to go back to her.
I have been getting tattooed here for over 7 years now. Â Gooch has done most of my work and he's awesome with taking all of my pictures and drawings and making a solid tattoo design out of them. I think it's really hard to find an artist who I feel truly "gets" what I'm trying to achieve without having to go back and forth over a design. Â Squintz is also very talented. I haven't had work done by any of the other guys, but I have seen them work on other clients during my sittings and it's all great work coming out of this shop. Â Faith is a sweetheart, and I always look forward to making my appointments with her. I sometimes have to wait a bit before they can get to my appointment but I don't mind at all at this new location and the spacious waiting area with plenty of seating, vending machines, TV and magazines to keep you busy. For anyone who is the type who doesn't like to wait, book your appointment for right when they open and you shouldn't have to wait.
