Tattoo Marks Studio Two

First off the staff was rude and condescending. I went in to get a tattoo and the lines are blotchy and inconsistent. It's pretty sad when you can't even make a straight even line. Very cheap looking work.

Have you ever wanted to step back in time and have an experience from yesteryear? Well, going to Tattoo Marks II is just that.

From the fashions the folks wear, to the museum quality tattoo guns and artifacts in the display case up front. This place is like a throwback to the days of Bowery Stan and the pre tattoo prohibition era in New York City. They even play the music of the old school legends of the business.

I hadn't visited a tattoo shop for work of my own since 1993. I have had four tattoos in my life. So, after wondering on Timmytatts work on a social network, I was lured into their Tumblr and Facebook galleries.

I was immediately floored by the style. Timmy and his brother lowercase_j do work beyond anything most of these modern "artists" do.

Don't get me wrong. I believe they will do your boring portraits. They will make your lane scripts that you found on then interweb. They will even do work with that super lame college girl crap.

But, honestly in my view, that work is well below their talent. These guys actually paint and draw most of their own flash.

They are true artists and not just some lame tattoo guy that will make a unicorn, Freddy Krueger, or tribal bullshit on your body. These guys do the classic sailor tattoos. But they do them with the greatest of skill and art.

The inks are high quality and the workmanship is top notch. For my work, I got one of Timmy's Eagles on my upper arm. I was schedule with lowercase_j expecting exactly what was on the flash but sort of hoping for j to add his own little flare to it. He did exactly that and I couldn't be happier.

I plan to go back within the next year. There is the matter of the snake the eagle was locked in battle with. Need to add it.

As long as this shop pumps out the same quality of work, I plan to continue my patronage. If you want a real tattoo, this is the only place to go anywhere in PA outside of Harrisburg, Philly, or Pittsburgh. The other shops just do the typical boring same old crap.
