Tattoo Garden

I originally bought a Groupon and that is what brought me to Garden Tattoo. I was going to get a 3"x3". I brought in a sketch that my husband had drew of 3 lotus flowers that I thought was very pretty. After Mike got done doing his magic by adding his artistic touch to the sketch, my tattoo turned out to be better than I could have anticipated. I love it. I have several other tattoos, but none of them compare to this new one. I will never go anywhere else but to Mike to get another tattoo. I have nothing but great things to say about Tattoo Garden.

Received a tattoo from Michael yesterday with the Groupon deal. I was confident going in after reading the reviews. I had an idea going in that was pretty simple, and he still managed to turn a simple idea into a custom piece. I got the 2X2 inch option and I was amazed at how much work he put into it. I thought there would maybe be a color limitation, or that it would turn out small (which I was ok with), but it turned out gorgeous and plenty large! There is all sorts of detail and shading and it is better than I had imagined.

Michael is very kind, very mellow and easy to work with. Even though I had previous tattoos he still made sure I was comfortable and doing ok, and provided proper aftercare instructions.

It was definitely a quick process. Groupons are walk in only and he got me right in, which I wasn't expecting. It took all of maybe just over an hour to consult, draw, prep the station, and ink. His work does not looked rushed at all though, and I could feel as he added extra details and shading. It was great to see he took just as much care on a Groupon tattoo as he would on a normal one.

I will definitely be back for another tattoo with my friend! I can see where appointments if you don't do Groupon are pretty necessary--the shop is only Michael and his apprentice. I like this however because most bigger shops have at least one artist that isn't as great as the others, and if you aren't familiar with them you may get stuck with the lesser artist. At Tattoo Garden, however, you know you are always in good hands!

Thank you Michael!

Came over there with a picture i made myself. I was openminded about what i scissed and told Mike he could have free hands on this one but keep the 'mainthought'. He did and it ended up better than i could imagen!! He made the flower more 3d and alive! Thank u man!
