    Before and after.
    Sakina P.

    I had a tattoo that I never really liked. I wasn't sure what I wanted to cover it with for years. That was until I saw Jeremy (who is only there on the weekends) do a cover up on a friend of mine. He was very professional in explaining what will work for her and what wouldn't. She ended with a beautiful tattoo. After following Jeremy on IG for sometime I was convinced he'd come up with something I would love. I was right. His skills and professionalism are top notch. I felt comfortable throughout the 4 hours it took to complete my cover up. I have gotten tons of compliments on the piece since I got it July 3rd. Very happy customer here.

    I went to R&D for my first tattoo (by them) last October. It was a birthday gift from my kids and my significant other. (My son and daughter-in-law, and their friends, were already patrons of R&D.) I got an autism ribbon butterfly on my forearm. I was immediately very impressed by Stevie - he is a true artist. I had an idea to combine details from two tattoos that I had seen and liked. He asked me to email him the images, and he combined them perfectly! I got - and still get - nothing but compliments from friends and family. I decided to treat myself to another tattoo this past Mother's Day weekend. We went back and I had provided the image of a unicorn's head - just the outline in black - which I wanted tattooed on my forearm, beneath the butterfly I had already gotten. Again, Stevie did a perfect rendering! On my way there, I decided to get a second tattoo - my parents names on my arm, as they have both passed. He did a beautiful job, adding it to a piece I already had, displaying my kids' names. I have been to other tattoo artists in the past, but R&D is the only one I will visit in the future. They are clean and pleasant and welcoming. Also, their prices are very reasonable. (I recently discussed tattoo prices with two of my co-workers who have artwork on their bodies. They were quite surprised when they tried to guess how much I had paid for my tattoos and their guesses were higher than the actual costs.) Also, R&D offers Gift Certificates, if you are stumped trying to decide what to get a friend or relative. I purchased two Gift Certificates for my daughter and her significant other for Christmas, and they too were very pleased with the tattoos they got! On a final note... when I posted the photos of my butterfly on Facebook, I learned that my cousin had gone to them for her tattoos as well. She has great taste too!

    Got some more the other week, Dave of course, pics to follow... As usual, the tips are, BRING CASH because they dont take cards... Dave, Rich, Steve, and Rob are all dedicated tattoo ARTISTS, they really are a funny bunch of guys, very talented and well known in the Glendale area. Go there if you want to have a great experience getting inked, yes of course it hurts, but its well worth the pain...

    Let's face it, tattoo shops can be intimidating and sort of snobby, especially if you don't have any tattoos. I used to walk by the shop not knowing anything about it, and then this fellow dad in Ridgewood was telling how good of a reputation they had. With this new knowledge and an inch for some work (at the age of 35) I walked over one day and stopped working in. Ian Nolan one of the artists was in the shop. He was immediately so welcoming and knowledgeable, and just cool, so I booked an appointment right there and then for my first tattoo on my upper arm. I was more than excited with the way it turned out, just incredible color, detail and originality all at the same time maintaining the traditional look. Just went in yesterday and got another piece, this time by Rich Fie (pictured here) and I'm in love with it. These guys are so good at what they do, and super cool and and just fun to watch. They make the whole experience awesome from the ink to the conversation. I feel lucky that I live so close to the shop, and I shall return.

    I cannot recommend Leaf enough. His work is phenomenal and he is patient, and great to talk to…read more His prices are more than reasonable. I won't go to anyone else stateside. Meet him every couple of weeks for the sleeve and excited to get to my back and other arm!

    First, most of all I would NOT recommend anyone to go here anymore since older artists left this…read moreshop has completely gone down hill..what happened to artists that will take your idea that you want and walk out with something you are happy with? I had the worst walk in experience. I called early & spoke to one artist Carly and told me to send her pictures of placement and what I wanted, she quoted me and told me what time to come in..I come in to the shop and she's nowhere to be found but getting tattooed at another shop elsewhere..and I walk out unhappy getting work by Katie who told me "she's not here but I'll do it if you don't mind" I had to find out the hard way that she is inexperienced and rushed my tattoo because she had somewhere to be. She took the idea that I had and convinced me to dumb it down and now I realize she did this because she didn't have the skill to do what I wanted. This is what I wanted VS. what I got. She said she would stipple the edges so that it faded out at the bottom. Instead while tattooing me she tells her co worker "that's gonna look weird" and proceeds to shade it all the way down my leg with such a lack of definition that I am left with a big black blob of a piece that I am immediately getting reworked elsewhere. After paying and going outside to get some air, I came back in to attempt to talk to the manager and was met with sarcasm by other artists in the shop and am told am I "questioning her professionalism?" No I'm questioning why I am walking away unhappy and her only concern was picking up someone from the airport. Maybe don't agree to take such a big piece if you don't have the time, enthusiasm, or ability to do it. Now I am left with a bigger problem than I walked in with.

I had my sternum piece done a while ago and I still love it so much, so bold and absolutely badass!

Dorothy is the epitome of professionalism: she's communicative, collaborative, creative, and--above all--insanely, crazy talented. Not only are her tattoos works of art, but her technique is impeccable (and she has a light touch, to boot!), her attention to detail (including sterilization!) is unparalleled, and her manner is so easygoing that every session feels like meditation. If you're on the fence about working with Dorothy, hop right on off--you'll never look back. She's simply the best!
