    "mo aingeal beag" my little angel in Gaelic
    Jeanna L.

    This tattoo shop is nothing short of amazing and completely professional. I had been thinking about getting a lot of different tattoos for a while and decided that getting a small one to start off would be the best idea. So I started looking around to find the best tattoo shops because anything going on my body forever has to be perfect. I looked into the infamous Bang Bang shop and honestly I felt that $300 an hour was a little ridiculous for something that would take five minutes, ten at most. So I decided that maybe it wasn't my time because every shop by me looks mediocre and the good ones are pretty pricey. A couple months later my boyfriend stumbles upon this tattoo shop and we see how amazing their work is. I felt like this was a hidden gem and I would definitely have to go here one day. So after eating at Cracker Barrel one day I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to be spontaneous and get a tattoo since the shop is only ten minutes away. He said yeah and we were on our way. We walked in and were greeted by a nice girl (Nicole I think) she told us that normally they are good with walk ins but today they were short on staff and to come back later if we wanted. I wasn't angry because it's a completely normal situation so I explained that we don't live close and we can just come back another time. She told us that Marcel would be able to take us on Thursday April 7th. Perfect! Asked us what we wanted, gave us a rough estimate on price and took a deposit. So far so good. The day before our appointment we get a call saying that something came up with Marcel and if we wanted, Diego can take us at 10:00am instead of 12pm. We said sure and that actually worked better with our schedule. We looked up Diego's work and knew that we were in good hands. We came in at 10:00am and Diego and another guy was there, I didn't happen to get his name I'm assuming he was an apprentice. He was super nice and helped pass the time by while I waited for my boyfriend to get tattooed. Diego knew exactly what my boyfriend wanted and had a sketch drawn really quick. It looked better than what we imagined. He sketched up a great domino. I got to watch the whole process and Diego did an awesome job. He made it look so effortless. I felt confident to get my tattoo. My boyfriend got the tattoo on his ankle and he said it hurt like 6/10 but not because of Diego, the placement is just a tough spot. The big reveal and I was so happy with how his tattoo came out and so was he. I was up next Diego asked what font I wanted and I had to make sure the spelling was correct. He basically made my own font for me, a combination of a picture I showed him, a computer generated font and his own twist. It was the best font ever in my opinion, it was exactly what I wanted. So we got to work. It took no more than 5 minutes he made sure to be fast because he saw I was taking it a little harder compared to my boyfriend. He kept asking if I was okay and gave me advice to get up slow so there were no accidents. He made me feel so comfortable and my first tattoo was a success. My tattoo hurt more towards the last few letters, the ribs is a rough place. I checked the final product and was ecstatic. They told us the healing process and we were on our way. Upon getting home I was even happier with my results and so was my boyfriend. We also discovered after we went home that Diego is the owner and I felt pretty special after finding that out. All and all I spent $80 on mine and the domino was $120. Completely worth it and I will be going back for all my future endeavors.

    Everyone here is extremely nice and made my first tattoo a wonderful expierence! I didn't have an appointment so they put me in as soon as the next one was available, which happened to be the next night. Julian did a fabulous job on the three tiny birds behind my ear. He made me feel so calm and relaxed the entire time. My tattoo came out so detailed and beautiful. I have received nothing but complements! I will go back for my next one and continue to recommend this amazing shop!

    I got my tattoo done by taka He was really nice and down-to-earth it was about a month wait due to my availability But it was so worth it he did a mandala design which starts at the top of my shoulder blade to mid arm when I got there he already had a drawn up he let me decide what size I preferred he had you a check over again and make sure it's everything I wanted everyone was shocked that it took only about 2 1/2 hours to get done you can tell that they work individually in the shop but also work as a team and look out for each other. Other tattoo artist came by complimented on his work and talk to me as well they were very friendly the price was really good even when I asked for an estimate he made sure that I didn't go over my budget that I had in mind. My mother-in-law ended up making an appointment as well.

    I went in today(sunday) and was promptly helped by the awesome manager. She took a look at what I wanted to get done and hooked me up with an artist that was available, Geddes. He was great! We Took a look at the reference photos I brought in and talked about how I wanted some elements of each incorporated in the design. He sketched the perfect (and original) image for me, an intricate little locket that I wanted. Then we got started: he was gentle both with the needle and the wipeing, which I really appreciate, that wipe can really get you man. let me tell you I love the result!! It's beautifully shaded, and all the lines are super solid. I've gotten tattoos before where at first glance everything is fine but then you really look at it and it's not symmetrical or somethin, but this is really perfect! My image has a bunch of little circles right next to each other and they all look perfectly round and symmetrical. The concentric circles are evenly spaced so that there is the same thickness going all the way around. I'm super impressed by the quality of the service. You can really tell Geddes is super experienced and a professional. Upon finishing we came up with a price we were both comfortable with and he made sure to tell me that if it needed to be touched up after the healing process to let him know. Everyone was super lovely at this shop and I would really recommend you check them out! I'll leave some tips of some of the things that I noticed in case you are hoping to get something done here: - call in advance if you are a walk in to see if there are still spots available for walk-ins. While I was there (abt 3 hours on Sunday) there must have been 5 people who came in as walk ins and had to schedule appointments since the artists were busy for the rest of the day. Granted they only have a 5 hour workday on Sunday, so spots fill up quickly, but I would still call just to make sure. - from what I could tell, there is one large room where everyone gets tattooed in, not separate rooms. I did see, however, that there was a room divider up when I first walked in so that you could not seenthe person getting tattooed behind it, but I could still hear everything going on. It didn't bother me at all, but I could see it being an issue for people who need more privacy.

    Last week a got the urge to get another tattoo...I was looking at tribal dragons...I found a black…read moredragon that I liked, then I saw another one with a bit more detail, that's the one I chose..now to find the right artist..I have several tattoos already and different artists are good at certain styles, so after looking at numerous artists portfolios in the Hudson Valley, I came upon Dermapunct's Jacqsun Jones, this guy does it all, his portfolio was interesting to say the least. I wrote to him requesting an appointment, he got back to very quickly..I sent him a picture of what I wanted, we agreed on a date and time, I sent in my deposit to secure the appointment. When I arrived at the studio, it was impeccably clean, very nicely decorated and most important Jacqsun has a 100% deposable setup. The tattoo came out incredible! Jacqsun is a stickler for detail. I'm totally satisfied with his work...and his prices, very reasonable to say the least...see the picture below. Thank you Jacqsun, I'm looking forward to the next time.

    My tattoo experience was overall positive. He did a very thorough, beautiful, detailed tattoo. My…read moreonly complaint was his communication skills. I had a hard time getting my appointment scheduled because of his broken phone. He told me later to message him through the website. There was no confirmation of my session until the evening before and even then it wasn't until the first session that we really talked through the piece, which took a long time. Everything ended up turning out fine though. I joked with him that he needs a secretary but he prefers to be a one man show.

Seek proper help and stop lying, taking peoples money, and delivering such poor, unethical "services". I will continue to share the experience you gave me because you continue to try do poor and unethical business. Sell your shop and seek proper treatment if you can't provide proper service with mindful business ethics. Everything about you and your store is shady. If she did this to the daughter of someone she did work on and called a friend as well (my father and I), imagine how unethical she would treat an absolute stranger. This is why I'm so adamant about sharing my experience with Emma! I wouldn't want what she did and how she treated me to happen to anyone. My father is no longer friends with her and has not went back for another tattoo since the tattoo experience she gave me was so bad and unethical. Emma has tried joking around with my dad about accidentally calling me after this experience and attempted small talk. This careless and inconsiderate behavior continues to prove that her addictions and lack of morals have gotten the best of her and she is evidently no longer of sound mind to be able to provide such a serious service as a tattoo.

The laidback atmosphere of the shop provides a unique vibe which is very relaxing . Emma's dedication to her craft and her excitement for giving her customers what they want is truly inspiring. She has alway communicated clearly what will work and what will ultimately stand the test of time when it comes to my artwork. She has always collaborated with me when it comes to designs, asking for my input for inspiration while putting her own creative spin on things. Whether I came in for a small tattoo or multiple sessions on a sleeves, chest or rib piece Emma has alway left me trilled with the outcome and wanting to come back for more.
