If you're looking for a good clean reputable place tattoo asylum is it! I have personally seen Jonas for tattoo work and my boyfriend goes to him as well. He does fantastic color/line work! Also everyone else i in the shop I know (bruce/kristin) are wonderful artists too. Basically if you need a good artist and don't want to get screwed over by a scratcher any of these guys could hook you up with some good work.
Also to the comment that they are expensive.
Think about it guys do you really want to spend 50 dollars and get a shit tattoo thats there for the rest of your life? Or would you rather do a more expensive tattoo in some sessions and have it be awesome?
After Annie left at Blue Flame I wondered who I would get to work on my next tattoo project. Â So I started looking around at portfolios and found Kristin's work at Tattoo Asylum. Â She has really good color skills and knows how to make colors sing on skin. Â I took in a print out of what I wanted and she drew it up and the next day I came back for the application. Â I was able to try on the tattoo before it was applied with the needle to make sure I liked the placement and size. Â Then the two hour session began. Â She plays cool music and we talked about the Blondie concert coming up and the time passed with distraction. Â
I really love the outcome of the tattoo. Â She was able to take the photo of a drawing and make it come alive on my body and something that I can be proud of. Â I got a tattoo of a gothy style Mermaid by Suzanne Woolcott but with blonde hair for my youngest daughter. Â She loves that mommy has her represented next to her sister. Â I am so glad I got to work with Kristin and we have a few more projects coming up as well.
I'll take a photo once it heals and post it on here.
I got a small tattoo from Kristen Close (amazing yet simple scissors). I love it. I checked out many websites for local tattooers and her stuff was by far the best (though it's pretty subjective, right?). Â My main tattoo man is in California- I'm so glad I found someone here hat can do really beautiful work!
Review Source:I have been tattoo'd by all but one (the newest) of the artists at Tattoo Asylum and can only recommend them all for having an amazing understanding of art, style and show immense professionalism in the execution of their work.
They have all been doing this for many years and have one of the best shops in the area, if not, of course, the best. The shop is decorated very nicely and you will feel like you're walking into a lounge, much more so than a sketchy, hole-in-the-wall unestablished tattoo shop.
Bruce at Tattoo Asylum is awesome! Â His artistic abilities shine through in his detailed work, color and shading. Â People stop me to ask where I got my tattoos... I happily refer them to Bruce.
A cashier at Home Depot told me that she liked the tattoo on my arm. Â She asked where I had it done.... I told her. Â She said that she shopped around and that Tattoo Asylum was too expensive (I don't think so!).... and that she would have to go some place cheaper. Â I told her, "If you like their work, save up your money and splurge... because it's gonna be there for a while!"
Many of my friends and co-workers have had their tattoos done at Tattoo Asylum... many by Bruce. Â But also by the other artists there.... all solid work. Â Just make sure to eat some food before you get your tattoo!
