On vaction in January 2010' I got a small tattoo of my zodiac on my calf. It was fine and everything was good and it was a good experience. April 2013 I went back and got some more stars and addtions to the sign to make it a complete tattoo. Again I had a good experience and no issues. Until about a week later some of the tat was still bloody and pussing. I continued to care for it but parts of it just was not healing correctly. Two weeks later on the day I had to go to Patient Care Center to see a doctor as it was obviously infected and I could no longer treat on my own. I got some antibotics and we will see if this can clear up. I had to start peeling the dead scabs off so it can breathe..This is jacked.!! Vacation tat's in FL are about $100 more an hour than Maryland so getting them you do not want to waste your $$ but in my case that's what it's going to be.
So just be careful when your in the shop and make sure you keep a close eye on the artist to make sure they keep your needle clean and are not touching anything Etc..Etc..!! I know you can get infections from other sources but it starts at the time of the tattoo..Never had this experience before with any other tattoos.
Got the tattoo that I've been wanting for years! Very reasonably priced, tattoo artist was amazing! Wish I could remember his name but my tattoo came out perfect! It was very small with really precise tiny lines and it's absolutely perfect ! I would deff go back and deff recommend them!
Review Source:So, yeah. I swore I wouldn't be getting anymore tattoos...
BUT, to make a long story short, my best friend (who lives 1000+ miles away) and I, decided to be really stupid and mushy and get matching stars on our wrists...so that we could always look at the same star even though we were so far away (can somebody get Fifel from An American Tale in here please...?)
We walked into this place, while on vacation together. It looked legit. Other people were getting tattooed and theirs looked nice. One little star on the wrist...can't mess that up, right? HMMMM.
We both got them done and they just didn't look right. We thought it might be because of the area and the swelling, but by the next morning, we knew they were just totally fucked up. We returned to the shop the to get them fixed, and another artist was very apologetic and fixed them for us (NOTE: Getting tattooed over a fresh tattoo is probably one of the most painful things you can get done. My friend said it was worse than childbirth - she has 2 kids). They looked 100 times better, but I immediately had a bad feeling mine was going to get infected. Now, I have been tattooed 11 times, and my others are about 50 times the size of this one. Not once have I even gotten irritation, but this one hurt immediately.
Here I am, 6 days later....swollen, in pain and on antibiotics, because this crap is infected. Not ok.
The 2nd time we were in there, I noticed things that I ignored for some reason the first time. The place just wasn't as clean as it could be upon closer inspection, though it has a nice facade. Supplies are disorganized...things were just not 100%.
I just pray I don't get necrotic fasciitis from this infection. I don't recommend this place at all.
UPDATE: 3 weeks of healing and 14 days worth of SERIOUS antibiotics later (side-effects of those not pretty), my tattoo is not infected anymore. I lost most of the ink, which means I'll need to have it touched up in the next several months, once it's totally healed. Let's hope it does better next time around!
