My daughter and I were here in March. I'm ok with my two very simple, very small tattoos - my…read moredaughter is happy with hers. The problem arose after we left - I was driving through Charlotte, trying to get to the airport. Someone from the studio called my cell phone saying that the tattoo artist who checked us out had made a mistake and had charged us for the tattoos but had not added the tip as I requested. I explained that I was driving in heavy traffic in an area I was unfamiliar with and I would call them back. Multiple phone calls/voicemails/emails and a letter (!!!!) later, they're threatening to take me to court .... for the TIP - that they made the mistake in not charging to my Visa card. I had every intention of calling them back to authorize an additional transaction to cover a tip but their uber-aggressive approach to the problem (which they totally created) has me in the "fine - you want to go to court? File in Minnesota where I live and let's talk to a judge about you adding interest onto a TIP -- and demanding that I pay you a tip at all. (Never threaten an attorney with legal action because you screwed up a transaction and didn't get your tip.)

Anyways, at the age of 44, my husband's first tattoo is still standing tall, still receiving compliments. It never has been touched up, still all original.

I walked into to this tattoo shop looking to make an appointment for my first tattoo. I showed the…read moreartist what I wanted and was told that it was stupid and he would not do it where I wanted it to be. I was really taken aback but told him that I still wanted it and would be willing to make an appointment. He then wouldn't let me make an appointment and said I could try walking in every day to see if he could take me. I decided to leave and go to Rarely Suspect instead and was met with a much better appreciation.

Shaun did my first tattoo 14 years ago. It is a beautiful mermaid on my left forearm. I now live on…read morethe west cost and will not be traveling east for quite some time (id ever), but I felt that my mermaid needed a refresh after all of these years. I went to the TOP tattoo parlor in San Diego for the refresh and the highly experienced tattoo artist that did the work could not get over what a great job Shaun had done and how well it had stayed. Other tattoo artists at the studio kept dropping in and marveling at it. These are people with ten to twenty years experience. Shaun was great from my first inquiry right through the final session and I HIGHLY recommend him for any work you want or need.
