Smokey Bannana Tattoo

I've gotten my lip and nose pierced by Ana and she is great, so sweet and they both came out perfect. She also did my friends nipples and they look awesome.  Cool little shop too. I'll probably be back to get tattooed soon! Oh and bring cash cuz they don't take cards, if not they have an ATM there.

As a few have reviewed, this is my first ink so I cannot rate against other artists/shops. This is why 4 stars and not 5, just sayin'. I can tell you that I always read other's reviews to make an educated decision.

I have been thinking about getting my first tat for a VERY long time because I wanted to make sure "MY" design was what I wanted permanently on my bod. I came up with my design finally and called to discuss what I was going to get done. I will not speak to any of the other reviews here because I do not want to skew anyone's opinions on those opinions, just my experience. I found everyone that I spoke to as friendly and helpful. Especially Kenny, my tat guy.

I was not sure what all to expect except to bring a print out of the fonts - designs I wanted. Sorry, I am a tech guy, I took docs in a thumb drive so I knew what I was going to get. After some discussion with Kenny the original sizing I was set on was actually to small and I am SO glad I listened to his advise. Looking at pictures I took with a sample taped to my arm at home and how Kenny had it stenciled, huge difference and I could not be happier. The colors are perfect, lines are excellent and even on the skull I had, he did some grey wash that made it look so much better. The detail is killer. Again, I could not be happier and if I add to it or get another I will go back to Kenny!

Oh, and the aftercare talk and info that was sent home with me covers it all (in case you are thinking about your first tat).

Cash only so if you don't have an idea of the cost, ask, ask, ask.

Best tattoo shop EVER, my experiences there have always been fun, relaxing, interesting, and just all around enjoyable, the owner, Tom Cross, is so creative and personable, he makes you feel right at home. The artists are top notch, best in the business, Vinny, and Kenny put their personal touch in ever piece yet still create the masterpiece you were dreaming of, Meredith is one of a kind while also offering facial skin treatments, the apprentice shows amazing talent and promise, you really can't go wrong, it's great to just hang out and have a cup of coffee at the attached coffee shop, or sit down and get creative with your artist, with their charming personalities and talent, you would be stupid to go anywhere else!
