I really tried to like this place, but unfortunately I can't really say I can. I went I'm here on a Friday night about a year ago and two artist were available which is fine since I was a walk in. At first the guys didn't seem to want to tattoo me or my boyfriend I'm guessing cause they wanted to be done early or whatevs. But business is business, right? After they finally decided who would have to tattoo us they set up and did the deed fairly quick. The guy that tattooed us turned out to be pretty chill. His name might've been Wayne or Dwayne or something with a W in it. I went back about two months ago though I was reluctant, but i was itching for a tattoo. Same thing happened, only this time they didn't make time for us because they were closing. Must've been around 8 when I showed up. They are just not the friendliest people and only seem to want to tattoo what they want when they want. They advised us to come back the next day. Needless to say their attitude left a sour taste in my mouth and I will just stick to my regular shop.
So i guess make an appointment ahead if you wanna be treated nicely. I won't speak ill of their work because I am satisfied with my piece. I just wish they'd be a bit nicer to potential customers.
I've gotten 3 tattoos from this shop and was referred to them about 8 years ago by a guy at a gym I workout at who had a pretty elaborate tattoo covering his right arm. Â
The first two were simple Chinese characters and the third was something more personal that they aided in the design and it turned out great. Â Every time I have gone the artist has been great, the place completely clean and their current location is nice. Â
I like that they are more about the personal meaning then the "let me pick one off the wall". Â That is the impression that I have always gotten from them. Â Regarding prices they seem to be on par if not a little better than the other places I have checked with.
All and all I will return to them if/when I decide to get another one.
I simply must say, I loved my experience with S.T.
I got my nipples pierced by Nick and he made me feel really comfortable - not in the least bit creepy at all. Â I'm sort of a chicken when it comes to needles but Nick was as gentle as possible and made the whole experience WAY less nerve-wracking. Â He provides really good advice on after-care as well as a paper for you to take home so you don't forget :)
Everyone who works there was very personable and nice; the shop is run very professionally and is very well maintained.
Tattoo parlors are like restaurants. You feel more comfortable as a patron if they've received an "A" and the place is not entirely empty.
Well the health department doesn't put little handy letters in the window of tattoo parlors. Although, it begs the question as to why not?
It didn't look like there was much demand on this particular Sunday for S T. The female tattoo artist quoted my friend $150 more than a shop which we preferred down the street and  she insisted that the "e"s would close up in her tattoo design if it was done in that particular font and it should be done in "script,' except that it was a german quote written in german and script would look...ridiculous.
So without my letter I'm at loss and without a crowd to scrutinize or plates to eye, in this case body art to ogle...
I can't speak for the tattoos here because I didn't get one at ST nor did my friend.
It just wasn't going to work out. See: above.
HOWEVER, their dog -- a tiny pit mix was actually super amazingly cute.I was pretty happy to have her saunter over to me for a few scratches.
I would have never thought of getting tattooed at ST only because of the fact that they seem to specialize in bigger, more hardcore pieces than what I was interested in. A friend had recommended ST, so we both went to get our first tattoos together. Because I wanted a simple ohm symbol they were able to take me that day, but my friend had to come back because she wanted a more complicated colored butterfly. Jarrett was my artist and he was very professional. The music booms in the shop, but it does drown out the sound of the machines running. The process only took about 45 minutes and I am very happy with the result, 4 years later. It was a bit pricey, but he explained it was because of the location- on my lower right hip. I ended up giving him a nice tip because he made my first very smooth and a pleasant experience.
Review Source:I was looking for cool birthday present for my husband and it dawned on me that a tattoo would be great! This would be his first so I wanted a tattoo artist that would kick ass. I looked around and some were to expensive while other were booked. I started asking around and was referred to this ST Tattoos from a mommy in my mommy group...LOL!
That's where I found Jarrett his work was new and refreshing and he had worked on a couple of celebs. We contacted him made and appointment for a consult and scheduled the day.
Fast forward about 8 months and a couple of medications later (due to a work injury). My husband finally sat down four weeks ago for 3 hours for a part of his tattoo. I also managed to squeeze myself in there and get one myself. After two weeks allowed for healing he went back two weeks ago for another 4 hours to finalize the work.
I have to say the work is beautiful! My husband wanted black but Jarrett suggested another process for the two objects to be black and still hold their own.
