    Victoria did an amazing job with this coverup tattoo! Had a great consultation with Victoria and gave her some ideas of what I was looking for and she delivered. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in getting a tattoo, especially if you're looking for a coverup artist!

    From start to finish, my experience working with Victoria at Floating Lotus Tattoo was stellar. I initially found her website when I was searching for local tattoo artists who were open to using numbing creams. Our initial phone call to set up an in-person consultation was informative and thorough. I gave her the background on the occasion for this tattoo, the general motif I was going for, my previous tattoo experience and my design ideas. She gave me instructions to bring printed images so she could see them in better detail versus looking at them on her phone. Meeting with Victoria for the consult in person was lovely. Her enthusiasm for my project was obvious. She gave me some good suggestions for the final design, the placement, and what elements to save for another tattoo in the future. All of her suggestions were spot on. She gave me clear instructions for applying the numbing cream for our first tattoo session as well advising me to get a good night's sleep, eat well in the morning and avoid coffee in the 6 hours prior to my appointment. Our first session started by reviewing the final design and making a few tweaks; she was very open to my suggestions. Then came laying in the black ink and the gray shading. It took about two hours with a short break at the one hour mark. I had followed her advice to bring some high protein snacks and electrolyte drinks to keep my energy up, which helped a lot. Because I have some extensive sun damage on my forearm (lots of freckling and age spots) and likely some recent unprotected sun exposure, I did get a very small amount of ink blowout in a couple tiny spots. She explained what had caused this and was very reassuring that it could be dealt with once I healed. I followed Victoria's aftercare instructions to a tee and had a good healing experience in the next three weeks. My second session started with a review of the full color design and I was so impressed with her eye for design and balance. It was even more beautiful than I'd envisioned. She incorporated all the flower colors we talked about in a lovely, creative fashion. The tattooing started first with adding a bit more gray shading and then adding a couple more flower petals and leaves in the blowout areas. My skin took those corrections very well. Victoria then started laying in the color elements. Her way of blending the colors was almost magical as I could see the image come to life. Total time for the second session was about two hours. It's been two weeks now and my tattoo is healing quite well and I'm so happy with it and with Victoria. I will go back to see her later this summer for some small touchups as she suggested. Other notes: the numbing cream Victoria recommends worked great and she even reapplied a bit more during the process. Closest to my wrist, where there are so many nerve endings, I did have some slight pain, but nothing beyond a mild discomfort. I will probably use it again. Parking can be a bit tricky as it is a busy area of town so I allowed extra travel time on my second visit and had no problem. Victoria's studio space is very comfortable, cozy, and nicely appointed. Her work space is very well organized. I have already recommended Victoria to several friends who are very impressed with her work, and I am already thinking about my next tattoo with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her in the future.

    "offshoots" -her design work

    UPDATE: Responding to Victoria's comment..again..instead of words I am adding photos. PHOTO 6: the beautiful rework done by a different artist-it is the one with the flowers where we were able to keep the original feather and hummingbirds (not Victoria's work). (Note: Victoria told me multiple times this type of rework not possible. She also told me the flowers with the moon and sun at the top did not make sense from a design perspective) . In conclusion I do not agree that Victoria's assessment the rework and its design/final output were correct.In my opinion her design advice was not sound and her final work product work was disappointing to me. She is also painting an inaccurate portrayal of our email exchange, please also take a look at the other one star review-Victoria responds similarly to it and blames the client. Tattoos are permanent which is why this information matters. I stand by my original assessment: I would never recommend or return...and noting her responses to any form of negative feedback, there is a lack of empathy or accountability in how she digests her mistakes as a tattoo artist. ORIGINAL REVIEW FOR REFERENCE I have sat on this review for weeks and debated over posting. Instead of writing too much. I will post pictures of what Victoria's work looks like. Photo 1: For comparison-Original work from a different artist...I needed the light side shading re-worked. Photos 2-5: All of the grey work on the sides (NOT the feather or the hummingbirds-those were a different artist). The side "offshoots" from the feather is the work Victoria did on me. I added close ups so you can see the line work as well Luckily a different artist was able to fix it all and make it something beautiful. I would never recommend or return to this studio again.

    Finished piece by Victoria!

    I came to Victoria randomly for my first large piece, and I was so lucky to have been given to her very capable hands. We have similar interests and share certain ascetics. I knew I had found someone who would translate my vision and steer me in the right path. Victoria is very detail oriented and leaves no stone unturned. In our latest piece, she was very patient with me as I worked through what it was I wanted. Victoria is great at taking all design elements into account and using the area of the body to enhance the piece. Her studio is immaculate and very organized. Now she has her own space, so it is just her. For my first piece, she was working out of other studios in town, which was fine, but having the privacy is great. Victoria is very calming and great to chat with while she works. Her comprehensive before and after care rules are responsible for a pleasurable experience and my pieces healing beautifully. She is very dedicated to her craft, and it shows in every aspect of the process. I can't wait to go back for more.

    I am so glad I found Virginia! I originally told her I…read morewanted a poppy, and she came up with a beautiful drawing of 3 different poppies at different stages of blooming. She didn't know at first but this was for my daughter, and it was the perfect art work to honor her that fit me perfectly. She also did a tribute tattoo on my other arm for my mom that was in perfect fine line that looks like it was hand written in one strike. She was easy to work with, really fun to talk to, and somehow made 4 hours fly by. I didn't think I'd want another tattoo for awhile but I'll definitely be back to Scapegoat to see Virginia soon. Thanks again!

    So glad that I discovered Sarah Carr! She's an all-around exceptional artist to work with, and…read morethat's made me a return customer. Sarah listens closely to what you want and then finds a cute, stylish way to make it work. Her placement is precise, she has a firm yet gentle touch, and her use of color is fantastic (both color theory and saturation). I've never been hip and now I'm getting old, so I'm quite used to feeling anxiously out-of-place in tattoo shops, but Scapegoat is more approachable and welcoming than your average shop. They go out of their way to offer water, space heaters, heating pads, masks, or whatever else might make you feel most comfortable. The artists seem to support and treat each other kindly. The bathroom is a work of art. Everything is clean. It's easy to find unmetered parking a couple blocks away. And this is a vegan business to boot! I couldn't ask for more.
