SuperGenius Tattoo

I got a little heart outline tattoo by Ashley and I had a great experience here. Even though she knew this was just a small job, she was very accommodating and helpful when we were talking about what I wanted. She had to cancel my first appointment because of a scheduling issue with a previous appointment taking long, but that was fine since I had just a 15 minute tattoo. I made another appointment a few days later and it was great. She was down to earth, relaxing, and made me feel very comfortable.

When I get another tattoo, I'm going to make sure I come back to Ashely.

I had a stellar experience at SuperGenius Tattoo. Two of my friends and I had been planning on getting matching tattoos for years, and when one of us began making plans to move 1,000 miles south, we knew it was time our plans came to fruition.

Our tattoo idea was pretty simple, and probably would have taken an hour. We initially chose some other parlors on the Hill to get our tattoos done, but it being a Saturday night around 9 o' clock, most were closing up shop. We dropped into SuperGenius Tattoo and they were able to fit all three of us in at once. After helping us finalize the plans for our tattoo and coming up with a cool sketch, they sat us down and got to work.

Justin was my tattooist. I found him to be a cool, easy-going dude who knew what he was doing. I enjoy making small-talk with just about anyone I'm paying, and Justin was more than happy to accommodate, and we had a pleasant conversation for the one hour I was on the table. By the time we finished, it was a bit past their official closing time, but Justin was willing to stay late to do a good job, even when his counterparts had already finished up the tattoos on my buddies.

The price was right, and the tattoos came out great! My friends had slightly different experiences by their accounts (one of the tattooists didn't even make an effort to chat with one of my friends for the whole hour), but I'll leave it to them to write their own reviews.

Anywho, after my tattoo fully healed, some of the scabbing had caused bits to flake off and cause the fill to come out uneven. Three months after I got the tattoo, I went in on a Sunday afternoon to get it fixed up. Luckily for me, Justin happened to be working, and he fit me in almost right away. He filled in the gaps on the lettering for free (which only took about 20-30 minutes), and I was only too happy to tip him again for his work. Not only did he fix my tattoo, he was happy to see me again and remembered me at a glance.

Overall, a highly enjoyable experience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo--first or fiftieth.

Pros: Great staff, quality tattoos, clean shop, the price is right.
Cons: Some of the staff seem a little stand-offish, but if you don't care about small talk while you're under the needle, their tattoo work looks great.

Really liked this place, but EVERYONE who works here is super flaky. I've called and no one calls me back to finish the shading and color of tattoo I got there. I guess I'll drop my $1000 elsewhere. I'm glad SuperGenius Tattoo is doing so well they have to turn business away!
