Extremely creative and experienced- he gave me a sick sleeve and an entire back piece. The other artist Jessica is insanely talented too so you can't go wrong. Not only is their work incredible, but the vibe of the shop is next level. Really cool unique art work everywhere and the friendliness of the artists makes you feel like your just hanging out with family. Can't recommend this place enough.

Xander the owner is really nice and cool too, he's very accommodating with whatever request and just a real nice guy.

What kind of owner tells a paying client not to come back for any future tatts after I went in and…read moretried to make contact with the tattoo artist who did 3 tatts over the course of 3 months? What the owner has failed to realize is how much he's hurting the artist who did my tatts. The artwork he's done on me makes me a walking advertisement and now his fame will never be known to those who ask me where and whom I went to. The owner just ruined the reputation of his own artist more than he did his shop. The artist I saw is pretty decent but his response time to my messages has been none to non-existent which is why I went into the shop in the first place since he never answered me back after 3 weeks. I'm expecting the owner to reply to my review with a not-so-nice comment but I don't really care. This review is about the shop, not so much the artist, but, again I will not recommend either to anyone who asks me.

My son begged me not to call this shop, and so I resisted, with great restraint. He was referred…read moreto this shop, to Doc specifically, by a co-worker. Eager to get started on his new ink, he sent Doc (Eric Dougherty) a photo of the tattoo he had his heart set on, received an e-mail response back regarding the deposit amount which he immediately sent, and an appointment time. He waited for three weeks, anxiously counting down the days (not kidding). He drove an hour from home, arriving early as he was so excited. He was then told "No, I'm sorry...I can't draw this on you". My son then tries to accomodate Doc by changing the design to his specifications, asking what he wanted changed, what could he do to get it done? He was blown off moments later, handed back his money, and told "no, can't do it". NO MATTER WHAT my son tried to do to make it workable for the artist involved. WHY request a photo beforehand if you aren't going to take a look at it? If you aren't going to suggest changes PRIOR TO having your potential clients drive two hours for nothing? What's the point then? I'm not going to lie, I was not too happy about the idea of the tattoo in the first place, BUT when I saw how depressed this made my son? I set about finding him somewhere else to go. I could not bear to see him that upset, and after all, it is his body. SHAME on you for operating this way. Talk about poor business tactics. I am sure you do amazing work, but your method of operation this time? Unacceptable.

NO AFTER CARE GIVEN! Instead I'm told to put lotion on it... so I went to a place with a brain in their head and they gave my good after care. Knew I should have never gotten a tattoo there...

I believe you can be cautious, safe, and run a good business without being nasty. Hey, guy who owns the joint: you know what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, being nice to your customers actual helps your business! I just wanted to buy a nose ring. Sounds easy, right? And fun! I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how the entire interaction went when someone answered the phone and just barked Hello. No need to announce the name of the establishment, I guess. The guy acted like there were gold and diamond lilies springing up around the corners of his shop. The "app" I was referred to, let me book an appointment that apparently didn't exist... nor did the request go through to the booking agent at the shop. Which, I think, is also the friendly gentleman who has banned me because the whole thing frustrated me to the point that I called him out on his rudeness. After a couple of attempts to figure out this little system they've got going - all while just being talked over on the phone - I gave up. And yeah, hung up. Then I got fired after I quit with a crappy text from the business number advising I 'stay away' from the place. Am I getting a restraining order too? Its almost laughable. Almost. I can't believe I actually had an argument just trying to buy a piece of jewelry. Business owners out there: do you or your employees start arguments with customers? Especially ones who call with a smile in their voice? It really takes quite a bit to make me angry.
