His versatility and use of color is truly outstanding. I have gotten tattoos from multiple artists, but he is by far my favorite one to work with. As a whole, the shop is great. It has a beautiful, old-fashioned layout. I frequently chat with the other artists (Paul and Shawn) and piercer (Dan) in the ship who are also very nice and make the whole experience always fantastic. This is by far the best shop I've been to in the almost 10 years I've been getting tattoos done. I could not recommend them enough.

The cleanliness of the entire place to the professionalism you couldn't ask for a better overall experience. Dan has always been thorough and upfront about pricing before any piercings are completed like they say you get what you pay for.

Luke completely messed up my tattoo. I wanted a yin and yang on the back of my neck. What I got…read morewas oval, not symmetric and not centered. When I was able to get a clear look of how wrong it was I contacted Luke. He said he could fix it after it had healed. Once it was healed I contacted him again.

Since then, the appointment was rescheduled multiple times due to many different reasons (excuses) as to why they could not "tattoo her at this time". They went back down today (an hour drive!) only to receive a text just before they arrived to cancel on her yet again. When she asked for her money back, they were extremely rude to her and used foul language for no reason at all! They even refused to refund the full amount my brother paid claiming they "had a sale around that time" when he purchased the gift certificate. Of course they only wrote down the hours purchased and not the price paid. Throwing money in an already disappointed and frustrated girls hands while yelling at her "I hope he f***ing paid it" is completely unacceptable and outright disgusting! We do not recommend doing any business with Luke and these horrible money hungry so called "artists"!
