I appreciate the timely response and abilities to take walk in! I got a response from Ingrid literally a few minutes after sending an inquiry on their site at 1 AM ( not drunk, just a night owl ). So happy that Ingrid was able to book my brother and I in on a Saturday slot. I gave her an inspo pic which my brother and I wanted to match for Spongebob & Patrick and she did so much better than I could have imagined! She had such a cute and colorful style. As a first time tattoo, Ingrid was calm, walked me through the process and checked on me just enough during the inking. She also posts the aftercare on her insta which is great for one to look back on. I highly recommend her designs I love our tattoos and the healing process has been so seamless. Great color choice by Ingrid and a wonderful experience for my first tattoo!!!

Bunky Osyter is no artist, she is a scammer…read more Long story short, I created this small geometric design myself and booked an appt with Bunky Oyster and submitted my $100 deposits on 8/16/2022. Next week, she told me this one hour long tattoo session will cost me $500, cuz she charged by pieces. *** Unless her hourly rate is $500/hr, I don't see how it is possible for such small piece of tattoo will cost $500 before tip. Especially my design doesn't even require any of her drawing and creativity. Same date , I told her I am no longer pursuing a tattoo appt with her and I would like to cancel the appt for 9/8/2022 (the appt was cancelled 2 weeks prior to the actual date), then she refused to refund my deposit. Your website says 48 hours prior to appt notice for rescheduling/ cancellation or deposit is subject to be forfeited. I cancelled my appt more than 2 week, which was because Bunky Oyster was trying to up charge me by 4 times of the market price, and she refused to refund my deposit. Today I completed the exact same design for $180 w tips, and the session was completed within an hour. Bunky oyster is no artist, she is a scammer, shame on you for hiring such employee with low work ethic and so much greed. Please be careful, don't make the mistake I made with her

I was a little nervous getting such a large tattoo as my first piece, but it turned out exactly how I pictured it, and I couldn't be happier. On the whole, the shop is clean, bright, and welcoming. There are a handful of other artists in the shop, and judging by their work in the shop and on Instagram, you couldn't go wrong with any of them. I'll definitely be back to Dark Age for more art in the future!

Zezi is professional, creative, and made the entire experience comfortable from start to finish. You can tell she really listens to her clients and takes pride in her work. I highly recommend Finer Things Tattoo if you're looking for custom work that is both artistic and personal.

My 13-year-old dog, my fur baby, and my best friend Ghost passed away earlier this year. After he…read moredied, I decided my first tattoo would be a memorial to him. I spent days researching artists, and Finer Things immediately stood out. Their style was exactly what I hoped for. From the start, Zezi and the team were incredibly attentive to everything I asked for. A few months later, I came into the studio for my appointment and the custom designs captured Ghost perfectly. Zezi prepared several thoughtful options, and once I chose my favorite, she got to work. She was warm, welcoming, and made my first tattoo experience unforgettable. I cannot recommend Zezi and Finer Things Tattoo Studio enough, especially if you are looking to honor a furry loved one.

They offered a free consult which few shops do. I go there they had a screen of all different lion tattoo variations. A specific program for tattooing. Very cool. They printed out a few I liked and we three discussed pros and cons of size and placement. Ying, myself, and Connor the tattoo artist. I embarrassingly had to reschedule a couple sessions and arrived late for my first one (100% my fault) and they established with great kindness a boundary around time while giving me the full time of tattooing. They could have charged me the hour I was late (bad communication on my part) they did not. Now don't take that as permission to do what I did cause you might (and should) be charged, but I share this to show how friendly, understanding, and at the same time professional they are. Took two sessions a total of 7 1/2 hrs I think. Second session I was on time ;) Connor starts a stop watch when he begins and shows you. That's when the charging begins , and stops the stop watch immediately when he's done , and shows you as well. I thought that was very cool of him and all ships should do that. The place was sparkling clean, organized, and worth Connors time. He's an amazing artist.

The artist is very skilled, and the tattoo I asked him to make was far below his talents. But that's what I wanted--something simple, elegant to show my religious preference.

At least six comfortable parking spots on the south side of NE 120th street just past the Chevron station. Cute little homey place, too. I love it! A+++

***This review is regarding Eddie, not any other artist at this shop***…read more My experience with Eddie was an absolute disaster. I don't wish this on anyone. I've finally cut ties and found someone willing to finish my piece, but the money, stress and anxiety took a toll. After my consultation, I was quoted $3,600, paid a $400 deposit and booked my two back-to-back sessions. The first day, I fell in love with the stencil (see attached) and he tattooed what was supposed to be the first half, sent me home with the remaining stencil still on my arm (uncovered) and said "just don't shower or rub up on anything too hard and I'll see you tomorrow". When I got there the next day, he spent two hours trying to line the stencil back up, couldn't do it and told me I would now need to wait two weeks for it to heal, then come back. Over the next three months, he cancelled on me SIX TIMES. Twice because he double booked himself and the other times were all for ridiculous reasons like not having Wi-Fi The other attached pic shows the first half of the tattoo that I paid his shop over $4,000 for that he didn't appear able to complete (the area inside the red was already done by another artist before I ever met Eddie). That doesn't include over $1,000 in missed wages and parking for all of the days I drove over an hour to the shop only to be turned away and sent home. Once I finally cut ties with his shop, I was in over $5,000 for this tattoo. The only way this ended happily for me was to walk away from Eddie (and my $5,000). Thankfully, I was able to find another artist to finish my tattoo and I'm in love with how it turned out. This is the first negative review I've ever written, but if it saves even one person from the turmoil I've been through and/or losing the amount of money I've thrown at this guy, it's worth it.

What stood out to me was, he was extremely experienced and a professional, but he really listened and worked with me.

I appreciate the shop's commitment to have artists that anyone can trust.
