I emailed the team here and they got back to me quickly. I sent them a mock up of the image I wanted to work with so they had an idea, as well as, the location I preferred. When I arrived, the artist was able to do a transfer for me and we opted to move the placement a little bit higher up my wrist as I have a dominate tendon that could have been more painful and made it look odd with the movements. I liked that she advised me on her logic and why she thought it was best to move it up about an inch. The tattoo took about 30 minutes and was wrapped up nicely. The place was very clean and everyone was very professional. It healed up nicely and still looks great. I get a lot of compliments on it. Overall: A Love my tattoo and planning another for my back shoulders. :)

I highly recommend Bobby at Rise Above Tattoos for your next tattoo!

FIRST EXPERIENCE: I had my first tattoo done at Chicago Tattoo Co during Covid. The artist did an…read moreamazing job, it's beautiful, I practically fell asleep during the appointment, the lines were clean and the steadiness of their hand was impressive. No blow outs or anything. They made sure I was happy with the size and placement. Wonderful experience. Unfortunately, that artist seems to have since left their business. MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE: The second interaction I had at Chicago Tattoo Co was with Tim. I recently lost my dog who was a huge part of my life for 14 years. I was looking to get a piece done of her that looked "faded" as if she were just beyond the veil. I brought an awful sketch with me that I did in about 30 seconds in my car before going in. I can't draw, but I wasn't trying to create something good anyways. Just something to express the "faded" idea I had in my head, since I couldn't explain it with words. Instead of trying to understand what I meant, Tim's first reaction was to judge the drawing. He said things like "I'm trying to be nice" and "no one will know what this is" "it could be a pig"... Once we got past the -its just an example- conversation, he moved on to the size and details of the piece. He said "good" tattoos have to be a certain size and I needed to go bigger. I was not willing to go bigger. By the end of the conversation, he had insulted my quick sketch, my idea, and many people who have tattoos currently that don't live up to his standards. I felt bad for those who have tattoos they love that he crapped all over. He literally called them "shitty tattoos". RECOMMENDATION: I cannot recommend Tim for literally anyone, despite his obvious talent and skill. A man that only appreciates the work he'd do himself is not an artist I'd want tattooing me, because they're likely to have trouble listening. However, Chicago Tattoo is a hub of very talented individuals in general, and its a clean environment. I have attached an image of the sketch I brought in and another sketch that took me about 8 minutes. The second is closer to what we discussed in person, but I can't imagine the first is SO bad that he really couldn't understand what I meant through conversation...it was just a visual aid anyways.. Side Note: Wether someone else likes or recognizes what your tattoo is shouldn't matter. It's what the art piece represents to the person getting it done. Get whatever you want. :)

We reached out to Fuzz and he was happy to work on the designs! He was very pleasant and easy to work with throughout the planning process. When it was tattoo day, we arrived at the shop. It's a super clean space and I love how each artist has their personal flairs added to their areas. Fuzz greeted us and showed us the designs which we loved. He was friendly and professional throughout the whole process and great about checking in to make sure we were feeling well and giving a break when needed. He set up his iPad to have movies on which was a nice distraction while under the tattoo gun. We chatted with a few other artists that came up to check out our works in progress. Everyone there was laid back and friendly. Our tattoos have healed well and look beautiful. I'll be sure to post pics! If you're wanting a tattoo, I highly recommend Fuzz and Ascension (and be sure to check out their other artists' work to find a style that matches your personal preferences; they are all very talented from what I saw!)

I felt relaxed and he made me feel very comfortable. Also the other artists were professional and all had a great camaraderie with each other.

Well first OFF! My friend went in for a belly button piercing. She got just that but an INFECTED…read moreone. When she got there she disclosed that she would prefer gold jewelry. The piercer agreed. However, HOURS after her appointment she was experiencing, itching, oosing of puss, redness & could barely sit or stand due to the piecing not being LONG enough for the procedure. Even though she requested gold jewelry it was not. And on top of that, she did not get the PROPER Jewelry to ensure that she healed properly. Instead she received below average service and got charged $365 for improper service, standards AND met with non apologetic beings. She SHOULD have received what she asked for. But if they did not have proper gold surgical jewelry to provide her they should have vocalized that. Instead. They gave her non surgical jewelry. On top of the jewelry being non surgical, the Jewelry is also FAKE. After speaking to multiple sources... she then decides to rectify her experience in person at the shop, where the team there said it wasn't there problem. How is it not? When you provided a horrific experience and left her to the deal with the damages. Not disclosing your true inventory and luring her into paying a fee that was NOT worth it. She showed them pictures of her tummy after hours of procedure, even though they claim there is no proof... DO NOT go here. SCAM ALERT. I know the economy is bad but treating good paying customers like this will not be tolerated.

When people ask me where is a good tattoo shop in Orlando to get some ink, The East is always the…read morefirst spot to come to my mind. The cleanliness, professionalism, and overall good vibes of the shop makes it a great place for both seasoned tattoo collectors as well as someone getting their very first tattoo. This shop is conveniently located within the Ivanhoe area, neighboring different shops and restaurants. When I came to the shop for the first time a while back... I was honestly expecting it to be a small place with maybe 2-3 artist booths... just because I heard it was located in an upstairs office space... so I figured how big can this place really be? Boy was I wrong... this place is huge. The space held a good amount of booths, I don't know the exact number but if I had to guess maybe 8-10? The decor was spot on classic tattoo parlor full of paintings, and tattoo portraits... but what I had love the most is that each artist booth had its own personal character... full of art and figurines. Now when it comes to the artists... you really could not go wrong with anyone from that shop. There is an artist for every style you can think of and they are very good at what they do. Me personally.... my go to guy has always been Shane since I have been going to him for a few years and the man is a mastermind. Overall, I highly recommend this tattoo shop for anyone who is thinking about getting new art. I highly recommend making an appointment before visiting the shop just because a lot of the artists are usually fully booked for weeks or even months. I do believe the shop will take occasional walk-ins based upon artist's availability...but if not follow them on social media for when they announce their Flash Events, which are a first come... first serve... and the designs are always sick!
