Finally got my work done by Juan. He was right on the money with his 3-hour time estimate. Those three hours flew! Besides being a wonderful tattoo artist, he is a pretty awesome conversationalist. Conversation and energy flowed. That is normally a good thing, but he made me laugh a handful of times. I like laughing, but I feared that my design would look like just doodles with all the jiggles that come with laughter.
He's easygoing and easy to work with. I gave him mostly creative freedom, but I did fail to mention that there were certain elements that I DID NOT want included. His first draft had a couple of those elements. That was my bad, though. It was easy to ask for edits and I'm in love with the final design.
I would work with him again. If you are even the slightest bit interested in getting a tattoo, you are encouraged to use his free 15 min consultation link on his instagram bio. (www.instagram.com/juanderful.tattoos) It doesn't hurt to talk, right?
PS. He has 13 years of tattooing under his belt if you were curious. read more
