Crooked lines, poor experience

My tattoo experience here was not great and I recommend you do your research on the artist. I came in to see Jax for a simple tattoo - a heart with two letters inside. He did the tattoo off of a stencil so I figured there was little room to go wrong. Well, I was wrong. The after product shows his stop and start lines on the outline of the heart itself, and the lettering is crooked in some areas despite the stencil. I reached out to the shop with photos and to ask for a fix and was told my only option was to go back to the original artist, who, quite frankly, is not good at fine-line tattooing so why would I try that again? I didn’t leave a happy customer and disappointed that shop ownership didn’t have an experienced artist step in to make this right for me, especially for such a simple tattoo.

Best tattoo place I have ever been to! Super-friendly. And, Aly, my tattooist, was phenomenal. She takes the time to really make sure your vision is being realized. When I wanted her to tweak a minor detail, she was so patient, and understanding, and didn’t charge me even a cent for her extra time. She made sure I was 100% in-love with my piece. She is a true professional and an incredible artist! I will be returning to her for new work in the future!

I have 3 amazing tattoos (1 currently in progress) thanks to Nick and I'm so in love with each of them. The shop and atmosphere is clean, warm and welcoming. The artists have a good rapport with one another and they all do amazing work (seriously, my new goal is to have at least one tattoo from each artist LOL). I highly recommend this place to many friends who inquire about tattoo's. I went from 0 to 3 in less than a year and am very pleased with how I was able to go in with just a vague idea of what i wanted and have nick turn it into an amazing piece of art that winds up much better than I could have imagined.

I'm thoroughly disappointed having to leave this review as I had higher expectations. This is not the first tattoo salon I have been to, but I will never be going back here nor making any recommendations. I booked a consultation 1 month in advance and left my deposit, I sat down and told my artist what I was visioning and we came up with some ideas. The artist told me they would have the sketch ready a month from that date when I booked the first session. When I arrived a month later, after sending emails with no reply of my ideas, the artist did not even have my sketch ready for me to see and tried to sketch on the spot. Disappointed, I booked another consultation 2 weeks from that date, only to arrive and still have it not yet drawn up and was told they would free hand the remaining work needed. Needless to say after 3 "consultation" sessions I declined the work that was supposed to be done (half sleeve piece). I decided to get another small tattoo as I wanted to leave with atleast something and at this point had waited almost 2 months. At the start of my session my artist asked if I minded if they got high and smoked one. I didn't mind since I smoke too but now that I think about it, someone completely sober should be tattooing you at all times no matter what. While tattooing my piece the artist still had the gun going while talking to me, and "accidentally" tattooed my arm. I now have for the rest of my life on my arm what looks like a pen mark and will be forced to get it removed or something overtop to cover it. My boyfriend had an appointment with a different artist sometime later at the shop and wanted simple roses. Upon arriving the artist complained and said he would be deciding what went on my boyfriends body since it was his name on the line. I'm sorry but if I have to walk around with something on my body for the rest of my life I'm 100% going to make the final call, "artist" or not. Very very disappointed, wasn't even given the option to have my deposit back. Would never recommend, very unprofessional.
