Whatever Tattoo

I went with a group of friends to get a tattoo on our stay in NYC. I had an idea of what I wanted already. The staff were extremely friendly at the time and the place was clean. There was even a customer there who helped my friends & I through the whole tattoo process, which was really sweet of her. The only thing is, I kind of wish I waited.

I got a word tattooed on my foot, but now the word is kind of blending in together. I wish the tattoo artist I had told me I should have gotten it in larger font. I fear that it will blend in too much for it not to be readable. This tattoo meant a lot to me so I really hope it turns out okay.

I also called the tattoo shop to get an update on if that's normal. The woman I had was so rude. She was accusing me of getting the tattoo done too small and she mentioned that some artists won't even do foot tattoos. If my artist told me he couldn't or if it was too small, I obviously would have listened to him.

Definitely do a bit of research on a tattoo shop before going there..

Tino's the bomb!
My friend and I came here to get our ears pierced. My friend wanted her cartilage pierced, and I wanted to get my lobes redone with a cartilage piercing, too. Tino was incredibly kind to the both of us, and made sure we knew that the instruments he was using were sterile. He did the job quick (with a needle instead of a gun) and we were in and out within 15 minutes. Piercings here are about the same price as everywhere else in St. Marks ($25), so I would definitely come back again.

i thought that Tino was so kind. He has a very calm demeanor, and while he is quiet, he did a good job showing us the sterile needles, and did a great job walking my friend through the whole process of getting pierced, since he hadn't been pierced before.

I'd go back!
