I had this tattoo done originally in December of 2021 by Jeff. I was concerned the day I got the tattoo because the artist seemed to be rushing the color fill, and I wondered how it would look once it healed. He spent an hour and a half on the outline and 20 minutes in the color. Within a few days I noticed blotching in the color as it healed. A few spots where the artist dug in with the needle began to scab over. As the scabs pulled away from the skin, they took the ink with them. I ended up having to go back in and have him redo the color completely. I didn't have to pay money for this, but I am now paying the price in pain from having to go over inches of scar tissue with more needle work. I'm very upset. Even with the redo it doesn't look as amazing as any of my other tattoos. The shading is uneven and the line work is off. And to top it off, the artist didn't clean out the needle well enough when changing colors so the white stripe is not really white. It looks more like a light pinkish, orange color. I felt very uneasy with the artist when he started the first session but I couldn't get my deposit back. I observed some of his other work which was spectacular and feel like he had a problem with me either because it was my own art work and not his design or because I am gay or both. I should have know from his arrogance upon our first meeting that the overall experience would not be great. During my consultation, he completely shot down one of the ideas and suggested something completely different from what I wanted. Then when I decided to go with my own drawing in the end, he still wanted to change things. So many things about this place upset me. Don't go to Jeff unless you're ready to have what he wants on your body!

I did not have a set plan going into my appointment and I was open to ideas.

I paid a $100 deposit through Venmo to secure my spot and then after the appointment, i paid the remaining balance through Venmo. The shop environment was welcoming, Shay and the other artists were very nice and easy to talk to. Shay did some great work and he's quick to tattoo. I highly recommend Shay for your next tattoo.
