Went there and City my tattoo artist had good work but I was already feeling nervous with his attitude while he rushed to eat his lunch to do my tattoo. I should have walked away then but was with a friend and wanted to do something fun. I let city know I have especially sensitive skin and he sarcastically responded that all tattoos hurt when that isn't true as this isn't my first one. He was not only rude but while I was on the chair I was the only one who asked for breaks for myself. When I was twitching and trying to hold on he annoyedly asked if I needed to get up. I just wanted my shit done and could hold on the pain. Y'all he didn't even get me any aftercare instructions and was invalidating my pain from the beginning to the end. I let the workers know and city texts me apologizing saying he'd fix it but that doesn't fix an already broken trust between client and artist. Looked cool at the end but because of lack of instructions and more my tattoo ended up burning me and I had to get help from several other tattoo friends and artists. Didn't ask for my money back or for a fix because I don't want my experience to be tied to that. Red has a great vibe and he was my piercer. I wouldn't want to tank his greatness with city's carelessness for me.

In the drawing phase I did not communicate effectively what I was thinking so when he sent the artwork it was not my vision (beautiful, but not what I was looking for).

I very cautious about cleanliness and Chris makes it a top priority. The work was not rushed and healed beautifully. You always have his full attention for your time.

I can't say enough good things about this place!…read more We stopped in on a whim this past week to make good on a tattoo that I've been considering for about 3 years now. Ali make quick work of the check-in process and had me in the chair within about 15 minutes of walking through the door. She was great about listening to my needs and making sure the print-out was perfect. The actual inking process was quick and easy. Her lines looked beautiful and crisp and I was over the moon about how it turned out. Pricing was reasonable and expected for the quality and ease. We will be returning shortly for our next piece of body art!

Back in July, 2023, I went to My Religion Tattoo to have a "book" and the word "READ" tattooed on…read morethe back of my left hand, plus the word "PLAY" tattooed above the "musical note" I already had on the back of my right hand. The tattooist was Marcus. Everything looked fine when they were finished (Photos 1 & 2), and a month or so later I returned for a touch up on both words, as the lettering had begun to spread and lose definition. The book and note were fine. Shortly thereafter, though, I noticed some swelling on both words and went back to My Religion, where--as far as I can remember--I was told that some swelling was to be expected and to just wait. Flash forward several more months (I'm guessing December, 2023) and the "swelling" had become so prominent (Photos 3 & 4) that it interfered with a photoshoot I was involved with (Even makeup couldn't disguise it--it looked like embossed stationery!) And, as far as I can tell, it continues to get worse. So, later that month I returned again to My Religion and was told that what I was experiencing was probably due to an allergy to the red ink--of which I most certainly was not informed initially--and that nothing, really could be done about it. The "possibility" of laser surgery correcting it was mentioned. And, that was it. I asked my dermatologist about this and they said nothing could be done. I'm especially concerned that the words will eventually become unreadable! So, I have two complaints: One, Marcus should have mentioned that *some* people were allergic to the mercury in red ink, and I certainly would have considered a different color; and, two, some sympathy from the person I spoke in December with would have gone a long way toward mollifying me.

I reached out early july asking for a tattoo and had to wait days for a response. After I got a response we agreed on a date and a price and that day I sent $100 for a deposit. The day I was supposed to get the tattoo I was on my way to the shop and less than 30 minutes before my appointment he reached out and cancelled on me. I was upset but didn't make a big deal of it because I also understand people make mistakes and have their own lives. I said it was ok but I I told him I would just like a refund of the $100 I sent and he told me they don't do refunds but he can honor my deposit for another day after about a couple weeks of waiting for him to reply we finally agreed on a new date. I show up at the time he tells me to be there and he's not there yet at that point I just didn't want this guy to tattoo me. very inconsiderate of peoples time and money so definitely would not choose this guy For a tattoo I'm now out $100 and still don't have the tattoo I wanted.

LOL. I have to just laugh at this. First, I wanna say, I know better than doing a walk in tattoo,…read more as I have many that are perfect after 30 years but I never did a walk-in for them. But, my son offered and of course, I'm gonna get tatted. How hard can a simple bumblebee? Beautiful atmosphere but that's about it. I requested a bumblebee on my neck, right behind my ear. Risky spot but I was feeling bold! Again, how friggin hard is a bumblebee for a seasoned artist? LMAO!! Actually, LMAFO because this "bumblebee " looks like it has been ran over or hit my windshield! This jackass charged my son a 150.00 for this! Needless to say, I paid my son back! Since I'm not exactly sure who the asshole was that tattooed me (mistake 2). I'll be fair.... He is the person at the very first chair on the right side of the shop. It looked as if the other artists were actually putting out quality work and like a dummy, I just went with that adrenaline that you get to get a new tattoo! . I would actually stay clear of the "artist" in chair 1 on the right! LOL! You're gonna get something like this.... No doubt. My children in preschool drew better and colored their shit better than this "artist" (I mean artist in a very sarcastic way). If you choose to do a walk in, anywhere actually, be prepared for this type of outcome. Good and talented artists won't do walk-ins. They take pride in their abilities and want people to recognize great work. A great tattoo artist would NEVER EVER stamp their name to a horror like the one I'm posting! Do your homework, be patient, a good tattoo takes time. I definitely appreciate those that have put ink on me over the last 30 years! Some better than others, but NONE like this crap! I'm still kinda of laughing because, shame on me! I have to rate something but it's a hesitant "1".
