We wanted to get Roman numerals of our wedding date so where better to do that than in Rome on our honeymoon! Gino could not have been more professional. His studio was so cool and very clean. He took great care with my husband and I. Even though he did not speak English we both used google translate to express exactly what we wanted and the tattoos came out perfectly. Afterward, we asked him for a good place to eat and he even walked us to the restaurant! Absolutely awesome guy. If you're ever in Rome and would like to get a tattoo, definitely go to him.

Oh my, I don't even know where to start about the experience I had recently at this tattoo shop. I…read morehad always wanted the Shakespeare quote "Love all, Trust A Few, Do wrong to none. As I was passing through Rome I'd figure I'd go ahead and chose this shop since it was near by and had such wonderful reviews I gave the tattoo "artist" the quote and he typed it out on the computer and I selected the font and text I wanted. After he stenciled it in I asked for the front to be a little bigger and thicker front, but the same style of writing. Once he completed it I anxiously got up to look in the mirror and noticed the guy totally missed the "A" and only put "Trust Few". When I pointed it out he proceeds to tell me the meaning is the same and he couldn't add the "A" because he basically left no space. No idea how this shop got such good ratings! Also, once I left the shop and arrived to the train station I noticed I had forgot my Versace sunglasses. I called and sent messages and i was told immediately that they "didn't have the time to look for nor were they in the shop and that I must have left them in the taxi" while I knew this wasn't the case because I distinctly remember taking them off as I laid on the table. Once I arrived to my final destination an hour away does the bald headed shop guy texts me and says he found a pair of sunglasses and to describe what mine looked like. I sent a picture and he said he had found them behind a table. I asked him to mail back to me and I'd pay the shipping costs and I was told "he didn't have the time" so, what do I do?!? I decided to go back on the train an hour each way to retrieve. This guy gave me such a hard time getting my sunglasses half way in route. He insisted I provide him with my passport number and identification and sign a document he wrote in Italian to receive them back...seriously?! They had no business asking me for such info. I notified the police and gave the shops address and text history and was told to go retrieve and if any issues to call them. When I arrived I did not show him my passport and signed a paper to get my sunglasses back. What a hassle. Also, why didn't I need to show identification to get the tattoo? But, he want my passport number to pick up my sunglasses I think he thinks he's the police or something. All I can say is BEWARE!!! Also, is a seedy part of Rome, too! I've attached a photo of the text I gave the tattoo artist and what I ended up with. Also, the bald head piecing guys demand to sign a hand written paper in Italian before he'd give me back my own property.

The owner, Gabrielle, was very welcoming and accommodating. He took care of the piercings himself, and he and one of the girls working that day helped me pick out the right size hoops. One thing I absolutely have to mention is that the shop only had one of the 12 gauge hoops I needed, so Gabrielle gave me a 14 to wear in the hole until the 12 arrives at no extra charge. I was in and out of the studio in less than half an hour and couldn't have asked for better service (keep in mind that this was August, when most shops in Rome are closed.) If you need some work done while you're in Rome, hit these guys up.
