Ben did a great job explaining their process and, fortunately, his schedule was open when I decided to walk in. I emailed him a file with my art ideas, one being an actual handwriting sample from my wife and he wasted little time getting started. Honestly, the whole process was painless (Yeah, I know, tattoos painless? Wtf?) but had I not had a few small pieces being worked on and had something more complex, I might have gone to sleep on the chair. (Sleep, not passing out, yes, I saw the tally sheet) Anywhoo, thanks for the care and courtesy, guys.

My husband and I met Tim at the DC Tattoo Convention, and since then we refuse to let anyone else…read moredo work for us. When we were making plans for our 10-year anniversary, we decided to have some simple matching tattoos done. Though this was nothing like the elaborate pieces Tim has done for us in the past (over several years at the DC Convention, my husband had a coverup, a photo-real bat face, an original designed vulture/skull thigh piece, and Tim started work on a beautiful Alice in Wonderland back piece last January that looks so incredible already I can hardly believe it when Tim says he has more work to do. Tim did an amazing thigh piece-photo real Gene Kelly for me, which won Tattoo of the Day, Best in Show, and best Black and Grey portrait at the DC Tattoo Convention) so we knew without a doubt that even though our anniversary tattoos would be easy for us to have some schmo at any old parlor do for us, we wanted to travel to Bowling Green and see Tim. Let me say that the work was great, and it always is. We wanted X's, and Tim drew them up right there for us, and they looked amazing. So we said yes! Let me also say how taken I was with how amazingly clean the shop is, and how comfortable we felt the whole time we were there. The walls are filled with Tim's artwork, there are gorgeous bonsai trees and live plants in the shop, the bathrooms are clean and well-stocked, and I could go on and on. We felt welcome and left happy, and visiting Age of Reason Tattoo was well worth the trip from DC to Kentucky. Thank you so much Tim and Pepper for everything, we will definitely be making a trip back there. I can't figure out how to post photos, but as far as I know Tim only has the one Gene Kelly. It is mine, and it is bad ass. If you're lucky enough to visit Tim Phelps at Age of Reason Tattoo, it is worth every single penny you'll spend (and then some)

I had an old tattoo that she spruced up and made it look totally awesome. She was very professional during the entire experience and even got a second opinion from her boss/owner ( Libby) before starting the tattoo. The tattoo came out awesome and I am super proud and excited to show it off. The tattoo took approximately 4 hours and Sydney explained in detail every step of the tattoo along the way. The shop looked amazing and was extremely clean, several times during the tattoo I observed Libby wiping things down and sweeping. They obviously take pride in the shop and it shows. Anyone wanting or needing a tattoo should definitely check this shop out you won't be disappointed. I'm posting a before and after picture. Thanks Sydney!!!
