    Tattoo

    Just got a sick St Michael tattoo from Mr David Poe and I couldn't be more pleased with it. The whole process was smooth and easy from getting my booking, answers on any questions I had, the actual tattoo process and of course the final result. The shop was super vibey and Mr Poe and the whole staff were all very kind and professional. Definitely would come back here for another tattoo.

    Considering I have multiple tattoos that I've gotten all over the country I have to say moon tattoo is by far one of the nicest shops I've been to. Clean and simple, inviting, artistic, well lit - the opposite of what you expect to find at most tattoo places. David Poe is amazing. You will of course get what you pay for. Getting an appointment with him may be the trickiest part but it's absolutely worth the challenge. His art is beautiful and clean. I'm hoping to get a leg sleeve and would return to him for every part of it without a doubt.

    Although my initial experience with Moon Tattoo was good, what followed after getting my tattoo was not. I went to get a simple script tattoo from Jonathan Bravo that said paradise in my own handwriting. The tattoo took all of five minutes and it was my first tattoo. He didn't bother with any sort of small talk, not that it's a problem, but that came off a bit cold. I chose him when I found his work on Instagram. When I got home and had time to carefully inspect the tattoo, I noticed that the letter d looked more like an a and I asked if he could possibly touch that up for me. What followed were a string of accusatory text messages and he said that he would honor the touch up as if it were a favor. He told me I put too much pressure on him and I expected too much. I forgot this was something permanent on my body and that I had standards. He never replied to my request for an appointment, didn't apologize or acknowledge his inappropriate way of communicating with a customer. The owner provided 0 help in rectifying the situation and I had to go elsewhere for the touch up -- essentially paying $60 for a single line. Avoid bad business practices such as this with unprofessional employees and an owner that demonstrated no desire for reaching customer satisfaction.

    The beautiful, bright, and clean studio! I loved the serene music and calming atmosphere

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience at Moon Tattoo! The whole experience was a pleasure from start to end. I had my tattoo done by Tina Poe, she was so kind, and had a super light hand so it barely hurt at all! She created the perfect piece with the requests I gave to her and I'm so in love with how it turned out! I can't wait to get more from her!

    Got in Austin to enjoy the city. I walked into and got the most beautiful tattoo so far by Jonathan Bravo. A talented and hardworker artist that I would recommand for your delicate project or walk-in tattoo if he got time. Thanks!

    I met with David and Tina, explained what I wanted. He drew a beautiful piece with all the elements in wanted but that was just a bit off. 10 minutes later he had changed the head perfectly. I got exactly what I wanted, executed perfectly and with care. Everyone that has seen it loves my dragon-Koi. It's been a week and it's healing beautifully! Thank you for the perfect work of art!

    Got this email from Jonathan and it was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read in my life. I can appreciate a good artist and will pay for quality work but wow $500 for a micro piece (probably your forehead since he doesn't do tattoos on the majority of your body) is psycho.

    David Poe is an incredibly talented artist, with a kindness that puts you at ease. I just received my first tattoo from him and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend and hoping to go back for more tattoos in the future!

    I am so so so happy with my tattoo. Jonny Bravo is a wonderful artist who was accommodating, professional and easy to work with. There is a one star review showing an email he sent a client but I have to say that I never got an email like that, and found him easy to book and again, very accommodating. Highly recommended!! Book him well ahead of time, everyone wants a Bravo.

    Horrible tattoo with an existing tattoo underneath for the rest of my life :(

    It took me a long time to decide to write this review as David was a pretty nice guy and the shop was clean, but he really ruined my arm. Not sure why, when given the opportunity to do anything he wanted, he chose to do a cover up on me. I had plenty of open space, but for some reason he took on a huge task and left me with a bad blob of black lines all over an existing tattoo that is still 100% visible, but ugly and messy now. I haven't been able to show my arm for over a year out of embarrassment and I could tell he wasn't happy when he finished either. His suggestion was to "pump some white into it", but I knew that would not fix how awful of a job he did. I love a lot of his work and aesthetic, but unfortunately he scarred me and it's so large and horrible that I couldn't even get another artist to find a way to fix it. You never think you'll be that person with a bad tattoo, then bam! Here I am with a really awful piece on my arm for the rest of my life. I know what it's supposed to be and I can't even tell... Bet you can't tell what it is either!

    I could not be happier with the work that Jonny Bravo did on my tattoo. He is truly an artist!

    Amazing Hogwarts back piece by David Poe! Will update when shading is done.

I came in to get a new fitted nose ring about a month ago I only needed a new fitted ring. I've had the piercing itself for 10 years now & I've never had an issue with changing jewelry and I've had it at a 18 gauge the full time. The piercer said he grabbed the right size jewelry after sizing . Showed it to me.. I said it looked kinda thick and he said it was standard size. I thought that was weird but trusted him since I told him the gauge size to begin with. Then I asked for help getting old nose ring out and this one in. He proceeded to gauge my nose with out my knowledge and when I pulled back and said "OWCH" he said it just needed lube because it wasn't going in and continue to force it in and was extremely aggressive about it and acted like I was stupid or didn't know what I was talking about when I voiced I've never felt pain like that changing a piercing. My nose bled and was so swollen the next day that I had to go to a different shop to get it taken out because I couldn't even sleep on that side of my face it hurt so bad. The next shop I saw said that he gauged my nose ring to a 16 and ripped it a little from gauging it so roughly.

    This review is way past due. Last year, I was absolutely devastated over the loss of Prince, and I…read moreneeded something to help me heal... something permanent... a tattoo! I wanted to have "him" with me in some way for the rest of my life... enter ZULU. I am a hairdresser, and a wonderful client of mine said to me one day as we were discussing tattoos, "there's nobody on earth I'd let tattoo me other than Zulu". This is HIGH praise coming from this particular woman, so I looked him up. As soon as I went to his website, I felt an energy that I can only describe as "this is it, this is my guy", I knew it immediately. Browsing through his work, I was blown away. His meticulous attention to detail is unmatched. He is an ARTIST of the highest degree. His website images don't do justice to the work- I don't think any picture of his work can do his art justice. You *have* to see it to believe it. I had a consultation with him, and shared with him images of things I liked, and things I'm drawn to, but mostly I wanted him to create it. Several days later, he sent me an image of what he came up with, and it was a slam dunk, just as I knew it would be. It took 3 sessions to complete, and it is a MASTERPIECE. I love the art on my forearm so much it's stupid. I get so much attention because it's so incredible. I even met Prince's band The Revolution, and they were blown away! Wendy and Lisa couldn't stop touching it! Anyway, you get my point, right? So here's another thing... Zulu himself is an amazing human being. He and I had the most wonderful conversations and now he's my friend forever. Choose Zulu as your artist and you'll have more than just a tattoo, you'll have a masterpiece.

    So this past weekend was my first experience directly under the hand of Zulu. Since we visited a…read morefew months ago for him to work on my wife's back, he and I have been in contact about what I've had planned for the remainder of the sleeve on my right arm. Because I travel for 6 months of the year the remainder of our conversations have been via email and also a 30 minute FaceTime consultation while I was overseas in place of a telephone call. Khani (shop mgr/wife) has done a wonderful job throughout of keeping the flow going and making sure that Zulu was available to discuss issues with me as needed. Zulu spent a considerable amount of time prepping for our arrival this trip as I had provided a number of different pieces of Tibetan art work to use for reference on my arm. After the FaceTime consult he fully understood what I wanted and that he was also given full artistic license to do what looked right and would flow with what I already had on my arm. He is only the second artist I've aver talked to that immediately got my concept and was genuinely excited about doing the work I was requesting. This was first obvious to me when we originally visited, but once we had talked and he started the work on the final design, the true light came out in Zulu. I arrived about 15 minutes early to the studio and just sat while he continued to collect his thoughts and worked to get the various pieces setup. We started with a fitting of the largest piece that would be done which was a full incarnation of Mara in demon form. Zulu only needed to resize it once and then worked on the angle and layout on my forearm (which is not big in any way) however, he laid it out to allow for the rest of the piece around and on the back of my arm. Once we had it fully laid out he applied the initial stencil for Mara and then he got to work. Zulu uses a rotary gun to apply his tattoos (as does Pinky which makes for a soothing sound in the small space). The beauty of this style of application is that unlike a normal gun that basically hammers you throughout the process, the rotary is more like a smooth flowing motion. When you add this to the extremely delicate touch that Zulu has while tattooing it makes for the absolute most pleasurable experience I've had to date. There was literally no pain until about the last 10 minutes of the session. We took a total of 4.5 hours to do all of the outline work for my arm, the detail in person looks unlike any I previously thought possible from a tattoo. His classical art training comes out when he works and his chair side manor is beyond reproach. The music in the studio is also spot on allowing Zulu to get into his groove and produce the beginnings of a masterpiece. I say beginnings because I can't wait to come back to finish the color and shading in November. Bottom line: if you want something that is truly a masterpiece on you as the canvas...than Zulu is the person to do it for you. There is no longer a need for me to search out an artist for my other projects, Zulu has a client for life.
