    What they say is true, you get what you pay for! Ben Kelly exceeded expectations with my thigh piece. Line work, shading, attention to detail, and the raw artistic ability have meshed perfectly together to make an absolute beautiful homage to a late family member. I am absolutely in love with it and will happily recommend him to anyone wanting beautiful quality tattoos. As for the shop itself, Ben and everyone else I met in the shop were polite and friendly providing just a genuinely comfortable atmosphere. It was obvious that the shop morale was laid back and a bunch of good people who love what they do.

    I was visiting Savannah from Maryland and was able to secure an appointment with Brandon. When I arrived at the shop I was greeted by the owner Ben. He was super nice! Brandon got me checked in and was ready to tattoo when I got there. He was amazing! Great conversation during the whole experience. This shop will not disappoint!

    Texts from the tattoo artist blaming him and guilt tripping him. Totally unprofessional.

    Wow. Just wow. I found this tattoo parlor and was amazed by the artwork done by the artists. I gifted my boyfriend with a tattoo for his birthday and decided that after a bunch of research, this was the place to go. He went in and met with an artist and showed her a picture of what he wanted and what he liked from the picture and booked an appointment for a month and a half out, and they agreed that she would contact him with a price quote and sketch via email. Well fast forward to two weeks before his scheduled appointment (a month after the consult) and he hasn't heard anything from her. He tried calling- straight to voicemail- and emailing- no response. He decided that he still wanted to go in and see if he even liked what she had drawn up. We drove 45 minutes last Thursday to the shop just to have it not meet his expectations. This could have been avoided if she would have been in contact with him like she said she would be. We explained to her what he liked and wanted to include in the design from the original photo, and she said that she would "try to get it done that day, but couldn't make any promises". We had a feeling it wouldn't get done. It didn't. She asked if we could come in a different day but he had work so she said she could come in on her day off if she had to. So he rescheduled for today and once again asked her to contact him with a sketch beforehand so this type of situation could be avoided. NOTHING. She sends him a pic of her hardly changed design with none of the changes he wanted included THIS MORNING. The day of his rescheduled appointment. And sends him texts full of guilt trips (See attached photos). Once again the sketch did not meet his expectations and she has the audacity to blame him for this, stating that he "didn't address any of this in person the other day"- we did. This type of behavior is incredibly unprofessional. You should have pride in your work and treat your clients with respect. Not cover your own ass and play some blame game. She only refunded him half of his deposit. Disgusting and pathetic. We will never be returning, which is so sad because these artists are truly amazing, but it left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm just sad because the other reviews are so wonderful and I truly wanted to love it.

    This shop is located in the perfect location. You can park directly in front. Mareva is amazing. She really can turn your ideas into work. The entire staff is talented and friendly. Also when you are done you can walk right next door to Zunzies for some of the best food in savannah.
