Shop was very clean and that put me at ease right off the bat. If you're looking for a shop give these guys a try you won't be disappointed.

I give the two stars because I really liked that this place was as eco friendly as possible. And…read morebecause it was my first tattoo and the artist was very sweet and kind and could tell I was nervous. On the other hand, I've included the picture I showed them and basically just asked for exactly that. As you can see, after only three months mine is looking pretty faded. It is about the size of a penny and costed $80 (plus tip on top of that). I think it is pretty pricey for such a small, simple piece. If you just want a simple, small tattoo I'd go somewhere else because their starting price is $80. And the colors also just weren't as vibrant as I was hoping for. I'm pretty unhappy with how it turned out and will definitely be getting a touch up. For $80 I should have loved it.

Savannah, a shop apprentice, was the available artist. I've never had an apprentice tattoo me so I was a bit leery at first. I decided to go for it and am extremely happy with the work. She was very polite and professional and did a great job. The shop was spotless and all the artists were down to earth. I recommend this shop and Savannah is MY artist at Black Hand.
