Look at my profile pic. This is what Johno tattooed on me. Look how un-detailed this lion is. He only does flat traditional work anything else he is at best sub-par in.
He got upset with me when I told him I didn't like his sketch and the lion looked nothing like the winged lion on the Venice flag which is what the actual tattoo I wanted. He changed everything the way he wanted; the way the head is turned, the sword angle, didn't put the rocks underneath, tail was wrong, sword is totally crooked, the mouth is OPEN, 0 detail in the eyes, body proportion is way off. I told him all this and he gets mad at me.
Then the tattoo he just slapped the stencil on with no time for the correct placement. He gave me this shitty lion that took 1 hour. Then charged me $300. Worst part is. HE GAVE ME 2 LEFT HANDS, then I have to come back and get it fixed. Also ears were pointed and lions have round ears tigers have pointed ears. He didn't do any research and tattooed this garbage on me.
I have spent 2 sessions getting it fixed at another shop. I regret going here more than mostly anything I done in my life. Johno is wack and ill love to smack him for this awful tattoo and got mad at me when i told him what to change on the stencil and didn't tattoo anything that resembled the Venice flag then told me $300
i cant speak for anyone else in the shop but B-Distinct Tattoo is 100x better than this. The guy takes his time and when you pay $300 thats the quality you get not Johnos flat unfinished traditional pieces.
Nice place, cool artists and very clean too.
I lost my virginity here... being my first time, I was nervous. The thought of it going through me freaked me out... I was imagining mass amounts of pain, blood and to be unceremoniously kicked out of the room with a "thanks, it was fun" after the deed was done, inevitably taking the dreaded walk of shame to my car as people laughed at the tears in my eyes.
BTW... I'm talking about piercings, getcha mind outta the gutter (-_-)
It took about 30 minutes in all. Paperwork was about 5 minutes, setting up the equipment was another 5, then idle chit chat and 'how to care for' took up another 24.5 minutes. The piercing(eyebrow) took about 15 seconds including cleaning(before), clamping and actual needle through eyebrow which was like half a second of... "meeeerp!!!" followed by my eyes tearing up as if I just watched that scene in 'White Fang' where Jack throws rocks at the wolf or 'Dances with Wolves' where Two Socks gets shot :'(
Blah... tangent... evasive maneuvers...
Anyway, Jordan was who did my piercing. She was awesome, friendly, answered any of my crazy little 'what if I...?' questions and gave detailed yet concise instructions for cleaning and care for my new piercing. She was also very cool about letting me know what exactly this whole piercing thing will entail besides "stick a needle through ___" which is all I knew about piercings.
There's clamps and cleaning and marking stuff and looking twice at it... hell I though they'd bring out a survey team any second. OK, in all seriousness though, what I'm trying to get across is PRECISION... not just prick it and stick it.
I couldn't be happier with my choice to go to Sure Fire and am very glad to have gotten Jordan as the one to give my piercing cherry to... she even gave me her hours and number to call in case I needed to talk (about the piercing).
I'll be going back for more... maybe touch up some of my tattoos before summer, or get a new one.

Award winning work, don't get nearly enough street cred as they deserve.
I get tattooed by Johnno (owner) and Joey G, both amazing artists. Johnno is one of the best neo-japanese artists and Joey G cranks out amazing old school traditional american stuff.
The other two at the shop Wendall and Ken Culver are phenomenal artists also! Walk ins and/or appointments.
