Everything I said previously still rings true, great shop, great owners, great artists. A true…read morecommunity shop with the experience & common sense to do a great job & provide an excellent experience & art you will love forever. I am updating because I was messaged for pictures (please note I have added them to the page (all those pics of the leg with the flowers, that's me) & someone asked me about pricing. I can't speak to that 100%, every shop & every artist is different as is every tattoo. I can say that honestly I have felt my work was very reasonably priced. I have some health issues so I have split my work into multiple sittings. I usually add 2 to 3 flowers at a time, I come in for a sitting to do the outline & shading & then a month or so later after that has healed I come back for my color. This process has worked great for me & my color looks amazing, even the first set of flowers which were done about 8 years ago are still bright & vibrant, the color on my leg is what I get the most compliments on. Typically I have paid 250 to 400 for each set of 2 to 3 flowers (2 sittings each set), depending on how many flowers, & how complex the flowers & the color. I will say also that I go in repeatedly for piercings & gauging, my daughter, brother, & friends go to this shop, & I give out tons of their business cards because I get so many comments on my leg. I do everything I can to send business their way. I hope this helps with the questions I was asked.

He's super clean - he's…read moreconstantly wiping things down, using only brand new items etc. He also works quickly and accurately - always getting just the right depth without creating scar tissue like so many lesser tattoo artists do. He repaired a very scarred tattoo and also has now done two others for me. My wife loves his work. He's also an incredible artist and can create work in pretty much any style - I had him do Australian Aboriginal style in color (an homage to them), and it's excellent. His book of work has some truly incredible art. From what I see, he's likely the best tattoo artist in Raleigh, and a decent bloke as well. If you want a tattoo done right, this is your guy.
