    This us a cover up. Both roses and leaves by Darlene. More color to come

    Looking to get a detailed tatt with crisp lines, gorgeous artwork and ink that lasts? Then you found the right place. Odyssey Wellness Tattoo is a healing oasis with a beautiful alter in the waiting room if your the spiritual type and wish to set an intention or send out a prayer before your session. The place is clean and sterile and the parking was easy when I went and they do take walkins so perfect if you are feeling spontaneous. Darlene is the best tattoo artist; not only is she a welcoming and loving human she is a pure artist and a great listener so you are sure to get just what you want (as long as YOU are communicating clearly!) and of the highest quality. I got some ink covered and she did a fabulous job. I still can't get over how steady of a hand she has! Every line is perfect. She specializes in reconstruction tattoos like areolas, eyebrows and also does a crisp permanent eyeliner. I didn't have any work like that done but I find it awesome that she does that as well! Her flowers and mandela pieces are on point (and those are my faves) but judging by her portfolio and attitude she can do just about anything! Highly recommend!

    I had a great experience at Redemption getting my very first tattoo. I really like that you book…read moreappointments by reaching out to the artist you specifically want to work with. They have portfolios of the artsists' work on the website. Based on Yelp reviews, I chose Andy Reach and he was great. In order to reserve your timeslot, you send a deposit to your artist (I chose to do so via Venmo), for me it was $60. After you receive the tattoo you pay the remaining amount, $40 for me. [Note: $100 is the minimum fee at Redemption, even for a small tattoo like mine. I was happy to pay that knowing I'm working with a great artist at a reputable shop, but you can probably find cheaper for small, single-color tattoos elsewhere.] Don't forget to tip too! Andy did a great job on my tattoo. I had a really specific design (the 3 stars from the corner of the page in the Harry Potter books) and he copied it exactly. He was very honest and upfront with me about what size and location would last well instead of promising something that would never work long term. I left with a slightly bigger tattoo than I'd anticipated, but I feel confident that it won't fade or blur like the smaller size I'd initially planned on. All in, I was probably under the needle for 20 minutes tops. It felt like someone digging their fingernail into your skin. Sure, it hurts, but no biggie. A month and a half later, my tattoo has healed really nicely and looks great. It bled a little bit the first night but other than that healing was fairly quick and easy. I will absolutely come back to Redemption and Andy specifically if/when I decide to get my next tattoo.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I had to wait a little while longer to visit the shop for the first time! After booking the consultation, and meeting my artist, I put down my deposit and waited one painstakingly long week before the official appointment arrived. Of course I was nervous as heck because I had job idea how much the tattoo cost, or how painful it was gonna be, plus doing anywhere during all this madness is a challenge within itself. However, all the safety precautions were being taken, all artists and customers (including myself) had masks and gloves on, and the procedure went great! Jebb, (my artist) did a phenomenal job of making me feel comfortable and calm during the whole thing, and I will definitely be coming back here for my next tattoo! p.s, my art is healing really nicely, and the pain afterwards was little to none!

I got one tattoo 15 years ago in Portsmouth in honor of my oldest son, three kids later and I am thinking (mostly because the bastards are asking for "their" tattoos) that it is time to add on. This week decided to "test drive" this new studio with a small tattoo of two intertwining hearts in honor of my 20th wedding anniversary. Jaesun was very polite and did not talk down to me. It was not busy but probably because it is relatively new. It was clean and everyone seemed happy to be working there. I explained to Jaesun what I wanted, he designed it and we were inking it, baby. I definitely will be back for the next two I am thinking of getting. Bring Cash, that is all they accept right now.

I just walk in, Holly's free, we talk - she's amazing but....what I want isn't really her specialty. She refers me to the uber talented Deitsch. Turns out the tat of my dreams (very ornate dragon) is his specialty. I like & trust him immediately, great, draw what you want, no, really, have at it. And I end up with THE most beautiful piece of art. Clean lines, clear colors. My total vision. Can't wait to add on to it! If you're thinking of adding a piece of art to your body, this is the place.

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience getting tattooed by Brian Hemming at GITM. This was not my…read morefirst tattoo but it was my first "custom" tattoo, where I wanted someone to design my idea for me, and I was pretty nervous about the whole process. I searched for a really long time before finding Brian's work, and I pretty much immediately knew that his artistic style was what I was looking for. I booked an online consultation with him and he was super friendly, easy to work with, and I could tell he actually cared about understanding my idea. He sent me some preliminary sketches and I requested a few modifications to his initial sketch which he was totally cool about. Again, I could tell he understood the idea I had in my head. When he sent me the final design, I was honestly blown away -- it was perfect. We booked an appointment and he did the tattoo in one session. We even had to make one last-minute adjustment which he accommodated with no problem. The whole experience was super comfortable and super professional -- really, it pretty much could not have gone any better. Brian was able to take an idea I had in my head and turn it into something real and authentic. I literally could not be happier with the tattoo and how it turned out. The entire process was excellent and I am so humbled and grateful to Brian for his work!
