Choose to let the dream go
Wash away
But before this
In that fine line of in- between moments
Where the memory
of the feelings return
Linger on fore more
.....
So we passed over
The season of bareness
Instead to return
The glory of sunshine
Within the rays is your lasting touch
Back blades
Ink worthy ready for
My fingertips gather
Radiating your presence
With me always
A warm white guiding light
From within there is you
After getting my first tattoo there about 18 years ago (which still looks awesome) I would never go anywhere else. Â I actually cringe when I hear someone has gone elsewhere because I have seen some pretty jacked up work and crazy prices. Â
Here, they work with you and are honest and definitely have earned my loyalty .  After a dozen large custom pieces I feel I can speak from experience when I say how great they are. If  I am an not enough, get this, I go to a highly regarded local dermatologist about some moles and she sees my extensive work but I was not prepared by this prim doctor gushing about how excellent the work was and then recommended I have tattoo over a scar that bothered me. In the end, the doctor asked who had done it and I promptly pulled out a dozen of Catherine's cards, as I always carry some.
So overall, get a tat here.  All are good but Catherine is the greatest.  But with any tattoo, please don't just go for some birthday discount or coupon , go here where the work is exceptional and prices are more than fair.  And never pick a tat from a wall....make it  personal, something you will always love.
I got two small tattoos done today by Diane. She did an awesome job, the tattoos turned out just how I wanted. Excellent Customer Service, and great price. I was able to walk right in and get it done. Â They do a great job of making sure you fully understand how to properly care for your tattoo once you leave. Very Comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be going back to them for any future tattoos. Thanks Diane!!
Review Source:I'm getting ready for new ink...
I got my first piece back in the 70s...when women just didn't. Â A few years ago, I wanted it re-touched...and I wanted to grow the small rose on my ankle into something more.
I went in to consult with Diane after having seen her work on a couple of other people - I quite liked the natural style and her choice of color.
She has now done that piece, a bracelet of roses around my wrist, a river scene/ribbon on my other arm, and gorgeous pieces on my left shoulder and my lower back. Â Lots of floral...and my Corgi. Â
We have plans for several more pieces. Â She's also done work for my daughter and my daughter-in-law, both of which turned out beautifully.
Much love to Tattoo by Design and Diane!
I got my tattoo done about a year ago, and the entire experience was really great. I went in with a bunch of pictures, but no concrete image in my mind. Ian (I think it was Ian..?) helped with the initial drawing. He was really great and open to changing things so that it was exactly what I wanted. Diane was the one who actually did my tattoo, she was also really, really great. And it was nice that they didn't have issues with me bringing a friend along so I had someone to hold my hand. (The second I heard the needle thingy start, I freaked out inside my mind. Did I mention that this was my first tattoo?)
I needed a touch up, but that wasn't a problem at all. Just make sure to call before you go in for anything.
Oh yeah, the tattoo area is kind of out in the open, but I didn't mind. If you do, it might not be the best place for you.
Also, I did witness a drunk couple walk in and ask if they could get a tattoo. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to witness semi-permanent mistakes happen right before my eyes. Oh well.
AMAZING experience. I've wanted a tattoo for years and finally bit the bullet and wandered into Tattoo by Design today. The women working there were absolutely fantastic and so helpful. I was very impressed by the level of professionalism and expertise and would highly recommend this place to anyone- especially first timers.
Kylee did an awesome job. She explained everything in detail and really put me at ease. Never once did I worry that I was making the wrong choice in getting a tattoo- she is fantastic!
Special shout out to Katherine who suggested a slightly different placement than I had in mind. She clearly knows what she is doing and I am so grateful for her insight.
Bottom line- Tattoo by Design is top notch.
I have always wanted a tattoo but didn't know exactly what i wanted. I had been telling anyone who listened (for atleast 3 years) that i wanted one but was worried that i would wake up with regret.
The employees were friendly, helpful and willing to give me time to adjust the design to my satisfaction...
The place was clean and tidy. They gave written instructions on what to do before and after and what to expect in-between.
They guarantee their work and that gives good peace of mind.
It's been awhile, but I got my first and only tattoo here.
The experience itself was good. It was just me and one other guy in a small area. I wasn't a big fan of being propped up on a counter with my butt exposed to the guy and his girlfriend, but we all got a good laugh out of it, so whatever.
The guy who did my tattoo was very nice. And when I tried to pass out, they gave me water and a sucker which, believe it or not, helped. We got through the tattoo, he gave me my care instructions, and sent me home.
So now for the reason I only gave 3 stars. It's been a couple of years, and the tattoo is discolored and you can feel it on my back. When you run your hand over it, the skin is raised were it is. So the experience itself was good, but the resulting tattoo looks poorly done and disclosed.
