Me and two friends had the awesome fortune of stumbling across this place to get matching tattoos while on vacation . Since it was last minute we got their apprentice Sean. He was amazing! He had a soft hand and did awesome line work. He went above and beyond to make sure to get to all three of us in his day. Also, I am a very big lady, he put me at ease with my questions about the sturdiness of his table and didn't make me feel awkward about myself once. If this was the apprentice, I can just imagine how awesome all the people who work in this shop are! Thank you Sean for being the icing on top of this great vacation!!

Great artist, lack of professionalism. I got a tattoo from electric Brit roughly a year ago, and have been living unhappily with it ever since. I tried to tell myself many times that it was satisfactory and up to my standards, but its been a full year and I am still not happy. So here is why: 1. I came in to the shop with a friend after trying to get through via email and phone unsuccessfully multiple times. No responses from electric brit whatsoever. When I came in in person I had a design I had in mind for over two years, and brought in a rough draft I had drawn. Everything seemed ok and she asked to modify it slightly, which of course is fine. I explain that I am picky about tattoos and would like to see it at least the night before in case I would like to make changes, since I wanted this to be exactly how I imagined it. She said she would try to do that, she didn't. 2. So I arrive the day of the tattoo to find her still drawing my design. The design is not slightly changed from the original, but completely. Many of the unique factors completely gone or changed. So I think oh ok, lets just change a few things to make it match what I had in mind a little more. I suggest a few changes, she gets mad and accuses me of not liking her style. Then she leaves to have a smoke and suggests to me "think about what you want changed". I told her quite a few things and after a brief change it still looks not as good as I had hoped. I felt rather pressured and knew I would loose a 100$ deposit if I backed out now. But you should not feel pressured by an artist to get something permanently tattooed on you forever. 3. Finally we get a design which just barely meets my expectations, and I cave to it due to how awkward this situation was becoming. She did a great job during the tattoo, she does great line work and made no errors. But ever since I have not been happy with it, and even tried emailing her directly to finish colouring it, hoping that I would like it after that. Which again ended in lack of responses. She responded a few times, its definitely the right email in case you were wondering by this point. Overall, I am sad to say I regret picking her as my artist for this design. She is a great artist, and she does what she does incredibly well. Just don't expect her to listen to criticism or changes, even when its your own design. 5/5 for the art she does, 0/5 for professionalism.
