    I'm not the world's expert or anything, but I have about a dozen tattoos. I've been to the biggest,…read moremost popular studios in Lincoln and have been tattooed by the most in-demand artists and I can confidently say that Tanner at Mojo's is the best in Lincoln. I won't trash-talk those other shops because I've seen very solid artists, but Tanner's skill is unsurpassed. The tattoos I've gotten from him are the closest to perfect that I have. Clean lines, amazing shading, incredible realism...just awesome art all around. And he will do the best job because, unlike some of those other shops, he's not going to rush through to get the next person in the chair. Admittedly, when you're 3+ hours in, sometimes his care and patience feels like a curse because you just want to be done already :) But the extra time and pain is 100% worth it because you can see the difference in the art...and in 30 years you're not going to mind that extra pain when you've had a lifetime of enjoyment from an amazing piece. Another bonus is that Tanner is not an egotistical jerk, which I can't say for all the "big name" artists in Lincoln. He is polite and friendly and positive and enthusiastic. He has excellent "bedside manner." He is also super prompt about drawing art. Since I know this is an important consideration, I can also attest to the fact that Tanner's work is extremely reasonably priced. The first time I went in, I was almost scared away by the low quote he gave me, but maybe that's just another perk of him not being super conceited. Admittedly, my first tattoo there was about 3 years ago, so perhaps since then Tanner has figured out how incredibly talented he is and is now charging more competitive rates. I don't live in Lincoln anymore but I'm coming back soon for a new tattoo so I'll re-post with an update after. I'm sure it'll be just as glowing.

    When planning my latest tattoo I was looking for recommendations for the best place to go to in…read moreLincoln. Several people told me to go to Moon's and I'm glad I did. This tattoo is my most meaningful tattoo and the first one to be in a place where people will see it 90% of the time so I was a little nervous but those nerves were gone the moment I walked in the door. Great and very talented staff, clean environment and Tanner did an amazing job! He was so easy to talk to and did a wonderful job. I say this is my last tattoo (but I've sais that for my last 4 tats) if I end up getting more ink I will 100% be back at Mojo's to get it done.

    Ty did two great fine line tattoos on my granddaughter and myself. They turned out beautiful. He…read morehas an easy touch. He was patient with my questions as well.

    I actually debated writing this review for a whole year! So i am confident enough to know how I was…read moretreated was in fact wrong and I am not crazy for feeling this way... First photo : Ty's work Last photo : Koi Piece by different artist ( adding to not really covering ) i had dmd Ty for a fine line tattoo that would end at my collar bone as well as a fine line tattoo on my hand (covered now). By this time I have already had my legs and stomach done and have red incorporated in all of my tattoos! From the beginning I had expressed to Ty that i want my tattoos all in red and I showed him a photo of what I wanted to get done. He was kind and confident at first, set up my appointment told me that what i wanted was no problem and that he was the best artist for fine line and what i wanted. The estimate total was 700 which I understand is an estimate though that is still a hefty total. The day comes to where I have to drive to Lincoln. I double checked with him, and arrived. As soon as i arrive and sit down into the studio. He expresses his concerns of the color red, and how it would not look good on my skin tone. Now addressing your concern is not the problem, it's the fact that it was not said before I drove a whole hour to come to this appointment. He would say things like "at the end of the day it's your tattoo" to make it seem like i had a choice. But the way he was speaking to me was almost manipulative.. i asked what color reds do you have, he stated he only has one. He continued to try and convince me to get black but as I was hesitant because that's not what I booked for he said things like "I am the artist here, not you. So i know what I'm doing." I don't know know if he even realized how his tone and word usage was coming off. But at the end I fell to the pressure and agreed on black. When we moved on to my hand I was in pain, as to be expected for hand tattoos i was wincing and visibly in pain but not making noise. However instead of making me feel comfortable he looked at me and told me to "stop 'doing' that you're going to make them think it's painful" as two young girls were walking in to the studio. He told me... to stop doing that... as if I'm not actually in pain that was just crazy to me. Anyways by the end of it to top it all off he charged my 750 dollars for unfinished work. He said this is it for this session next session we will finish the rest, we had not even touched my collarbone so I assumed the 750 was for next session as well. But he said no this is for my time and products next session should be another 200-300. For a tattoo that is so minimal, this is just unbelievable and I have all the dms still! Anyways what made me decide to write this review was my coverup that I had gotten done this month by a very nice lady in Florida! She charged me 500 for this entire sleeve she made me feel so comfortable and actually worked WITH me to get the results I wanted. We used 'Lipstick Red' and she stated that someone who speaks so poorly of colors like Ty did, most likely just didn't know what they were doing or hasn't worked with color before. My skin tone should not have affected it. And considering he only had one shade of red I think that was the case, though he has worked minimally with red before. I felt ran for my money and disappointed in my tattoo. But most importantly I felt uncomfortable and disrespected and like I didn't have a voice. He never did follow up with me for our second session. And i have ran into multiple people who had terrible experiences with him too. I think it's important to know, there are others out there who has experienced this who just don't take the time to write the review. We see all the nice reviews and think nothing of it. I mean it took me a whole year just to write this one. This is our bodies, and ultimately our choice! And to Ty, yes you are the artist and your work is beautiful, but your customer service should be just as important. Please be more understanding and kind.
