  So it took me a while to write this review because I don't have names to go along with my experience but felt my bad experience was important to share.
  
  1/ We arrive 15 minutes early to appointment as requested by Ca-coi.(if I spelled this right).  He is not there... found out he had an emergency and wasn't coming in.
  (It would have been nice to receive a phone call to reschedule prior to us showing up).  
  
  2/ So Tattoo guy one, try's to find someone to help me.  He notices that tattoo guy two is out in his truck and goes outside to find out if he has time to do my tattoo.
  They spend at least 5 to 10 minutes chatting it up while I wait inside.
  Tattoo guy one comes in and says.. he has time to do it, he will be right in.
  
  3/ In the meantime while I am waiting, the men inside the store talk about how tattoo guy two lives far, sleeps in his truck and that he left his truck over night from partying the night before.  (loosing confidence now).
  
  4/ After about 15 more minutes of waiting, tattoo guy two gets out of his truck and walks next door to the bar.  I get up because 1/It was rude to keep me waiting, and 2/ I am no longer confident in tattoo guy two.  I tell tattoo guy one that I was leaving...
  
  5/ Tattoo guy two comes in, hair all disheveled, and is like.. okay what you got?
  So I show him my art work of the tattoo I have.  He looks at it and says.. hmm okay.. $300. (I was originally quoted $150 because my art work was easy and it would only take about an hour to complete.)
  I ask, "why so much?  I have had bigger tattoos for less?"
  Tattoo guy two replies: "Then you can go somewhere else to pay less, but I will do shading and all that extra stuff."
  I reply: "I don't want any shading or extra stuff.. i want it as is.. copy and paste then tat!"
  He replies: "Well do you want it or not?"
  I reply: "No!", then turn around and walk out.
  
  I have actually had work done here before by Patrick.. he did a good job last time but no longer works here.
  
  I decided to go back to Perfection Tattoo.. Shawn did my work for $100 because he charges by the hour, and like i said, it only took an hour to do my tattoo.
  I recommend Shawn from Perfection Tattoo over these guys any day!

  Rik designed my first tattoo, he was exceptionally patient with my questions and wincing.

  SoOoO... My second tattoo came around and wanted to get it done in Texas while visitng My family. My cousin and I lost our aunt recently and wanted to get near matching tattoos to represent her. Our tattoo artist's were Sal and Mondo.. they were great!!! Sal asked me what I wanted and kept drawing the lilie until i LOVED it!! Then he aked me about my price range before starting, I really appreciate it cuz I have gone to another place and they just say a price when the art is done... and what happens when you have so much on you...
  
  Sal and Mondo were great about making our butterfly tattoos IDENTICAL.. colors and all. Couldnt love it any more.. after the pain we left really happy!!
  I would give this place 5 stars but I ordered a t-shirt and ended up flying back to San Jose and four months later, Still havent recieved it.  I talked to Christina and she ended up getting my info again and said she will send my t-shirt as well as the money i paid for it.. i hope it comes in the mail...
  
  But besides that... THIS PLACE DOES GREAT WORK!!!!
