Frankie was truly a breath of fresh air. This was my very first tattoo experience, and I was not…read morestarting small. I was going all in with a full sleeve. From the very beginning, Frankie helped me capture the heart of what I wanted. I came in with one idea, and he walked me through the artistry and beauty of how a tattoo can be interpreted and brought to life in an even better way than I had imagined. In the end, I trusted his judgment completely, and I do not regret it for a second. He guided me through every stage of the process and was incredibly thorough when it came to aftercare, making sure I understood how to take care of my tattoo during the days, weeks, and months between sessions. To this day, all I get are compliments on my sleeve. People are always asking where I got it done, and I never hesitate to tell them it was Frankie at Three Roses Studio. Professionally, he is outstanding, focused, and incredibly talented. Personally, he is even better. Over the course of about a year, mostly because of my own scheduling issues, we got to know each other well, and I can honestly say he is one of the most down-to-earth and genuine people you could hope to meet. The whole experience was one incredible journey, and I could not be happier with how it all turned out.

Pretty soon to write a tattoo since we got them today, but will plan to update it later . . …read more My 18 year old son and I got matching tattoos. I contacted Frank weeks ago, to ask him about scheduling a time we could visit from MA to get our first tats. He was so great, he actually opened the studio specifically to accommodate our schedule when we would be visiting from out of state. He was great. We shared designs over emails and spoke over the phone. He was frank and advised us and we ended up getting 3 done today. I got one on my outer wrist, and my son got his matching one on his inside arm and then an arm band. The band is one based on something we saw and liked. Frank modified the piece and made a piece of art that is now a custom piece that no one else will have. My son is so happy. When we came in we sat and talked and got to know each other. He made sure we were not nervous, wanted us to know his home was our home, answered all questions, and made us feel so comfortable. He is not only professional with years of experience and an incredible talent, he also has a great eye. He understands the technical aspect behind his art, and the psychological aspect of tattoo. We really were interested also in the spiritual side of tattoo and learned so much about this. Really interesting. Frank has so much information to share, you only have to ask. We now know, that we will never get ink anywhere else. We can highly recommend Frank and Three Roses. The back room, with the TV, art books and his hand drawn art was just so great. It had the feeling of being cozy yet professional. Check it out. Well worth the trip.

To see his progression as an artist was not only inspiring, but I just could feel prouder. I brought in a design that I created and he did an incredible job bringing my vision to life.

He took the time to make sure everything was just right and transformed the design I brought in into an absolutely beautiful tattoo. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Geo is not only extremely talented, but also professional, patient and clearly takes great pride in his work. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who will listen to what you want and execute it beautifully, I highly recommend him.

He and his wife (the receptionist) were sort of fighting; he was irritable and ill tempered which was very uncomfortable to be around. She was very friendly and warm. First dimple went fine, still have it over a year later. On the second dimple he struggled to anchor it and was digging in my back for several minutes. Also forgot to count me down bc he was conversing with his coworker. I was wincing in pain and he told me to relax and that most of the pain was in my head Most piercers make a comfortable, welcoming, disarming vibe; Ron brought quite the opposite. That piercing never anchored properly and popped out 9 months later. Also, I was accidentally charged double BUT when I called they apologized profusely and immediately corrected it.
