Phil was very attentive and patient when drawing up my tattoo. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted for my design, and he worked with me until we came up with something I liked. Once the design was done, the tattoo itself only took about an hour (maybe less) and was a breeze. I would say the only downside to this shop is the location unfortunately. I was fairly concerned about my car getting broken into, overall safety, and parking is a bit of a challenge.

Since it was only me and my wife he let ne pick the music that played while he worked. I had an idea where I wanted my tattoo, he went over where it would hurt the least and look the best. It has been over a year now and still looks great and I have no regrets. My wife has since the got a piece from him and a old tattoo touched up.

She was fast, efficient, and I barely felt more than an itch. I nearly fell asleep during the tattoo and when she was done I was surprised it was already over. The tattoo was done to my liking and she even cleaned up the original stencil for me. It has since healed beautifully and I have no complaints whatsoever with the tattoo or her work & her professionalism. Wonderful artist & seemed a genuinely kind person too.

After being asked to give Jason my ID prior to getting ink I realized after I got home that he…read moredidn't return it to me. He said he left it on the copier. Given the circumstances I assumed he was going to make an effort to return it to me. That did not happen. Even though he offered to mail it to me that was not an option as I drive everyday and need it. I offered to meet him halfway. After many excuses (truck not working, plans after work, girlfriend will be mad) and blaming me for forgetting it, I ended up having to spend an hour and a half having to go get my ID. It's not WHAT happened as much as HOW it was handled. Unacceptable and very poor customer service.

Awesome news! Enigma has a cosmetic tattoo artist now!!! Grace is super nice, super informative & (…read morebest of all in cosmetic tattoos) GENTLE! I got lip blushing done. When thinking of getting something like your lips/ eyes/ anything facial & usually sensitive done, don't think about your body tattoos & how that felt. Grace has & utilizes a numbing cream ( works VERY well). I literally fell asleep while procedure was being done. It's a 2 session job, but now, fully done & totally healed, I'm super very happy with it!! They don't line too much outside of the lips because that would probably look super unnatural, but right to the edge of my lip line has given my lips the little bit of boost in volume and the colors that I really like especially when wearing no makeup at all. You get an absolute chance with Grace to help design the color that she's going to be applying ( She recommended that I bring along my favorite lipstick). This is not nearly as "ouchy" or intense as you might imagine. As I previously mentioned, the numbing cream works super well! Just relax and it's done before you know it! The color seems very very bright at first, but it does mute out quite a bit as the healing process sets in. I, as a thin-lipped individual () not only enjoyed the color, but the subtle ( albeit temporary) volume boost it gives. I realize they were mainly swollen a bit from the "trauma" of the "blushing", but ( in my experience) with disappointingly short lived lip filler, this lasted almost as long & healed up quickly & easily. There will be a bit of chapping and peeling between your first and second appointment, but that's just the lips healing out. Just use some lip balm diligently day and night ( Grace will give you the "accessories") and you'll be ready to show it off in no time! I would recommend Grace to do ANY of the cosmetic tattooing she can do because I can see what a great & careful professional she is. Enigma 's a great spot for tattoos in general, now they've added the aesthetic angle the public has increasingly asked for. Thankfully they put on a trained & experienced aesthetics professional. Grace is amazing!
