The love for this place grows a little more ever since I went for the first time when it was under different ownership. Love, please do not mistake for like.
I would love to know why anyone would shit-talk this place because the people are awesome here. Totally professional and friendly. The first time I went I had my entire back done by a guy who is no longer there, but for a year I strayed around to different places until a friend recommended me to Brett, who is now my go-to tattoo guy. He's amazing with shading and great with proportions. It's a trek from where I live but I'll travel far and wide to come back! :)
I stopped into Stained in Pain to get my third tattoo after a 17 year hiatus. Â I brought in artwork ahead of time and Friski drew up the perfect reflection of my inspiration piece. Â
My tattoo took a couple of hours, but Friski did an excellent job of making sure I was as comfortable as possible. Â My finished tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined. Â The lines are perfectly straight and there are so many details that give the piece depth. Â A couple days later, it is healing beautifully and I can really start to see all of the stunning nuances of the tattoo. Â Friski is a true talent. Â I wouldn't hesitate to get another tattoo from him. Â I'll be back soon.
