Erin had done a large tattoo on my thigh at this shop. The line work is extremely uneven and…read morecrooked throughout. Some lines are noticeably thicker than others, and it looks like the needle had gone too deep in several areas. Instead of clean, smooth lines, the tattoo appears shaky and poorly done. I understand that no tattoo is perfect, but this goes beyond minor imperfections. For something this large and permanent, I expected a much higher level of precision. I was there for many hours and spent hundreds of dollars to be left with a big embarrassment.

I had been planning on getting a cover up job for an old tattoo on my back for years-- and in the…read moreend decided to take the plunge-- with a little apprehension about how it would be. So-- I thought I'd tell you how it was-- in case you too are teetering on the edge of indecision and needed just a little push to compel you to take the plunge too. I worked with Mike Bradley-- and he was fantastic. I gave him two images that I liked, then he came up with an original work from those ideas-- and he is an artist-- with an artist's eye for detail and precision-- and in the end, the work was spectacular. In the end, the piece took about five hours. Needless to say, getting a larger tattoo means pain-- and I think I'd gone in underestimating just how important it is that the artist doing the work is personable and patient and thoughtful. Mike was all of these-- which took the edge off of the pain and made the time fly. So! If you're looking for quality and skill, I highly recommend Mike at 717 in Columbia. The place offers piercing and tattooing services, and jewelry as well. It's clean, and the staff is helpful and accommodating, and it's not too far off Route 30, and has cheap, metered street parking. And you know how it is: tattoos are a little like them Lay's potato chips-- it's really hard to stop at just one. When I went in I had no intention of getting more-- but now I'm reconsidering; I had such a positive experience, and I don't know that I can articulate just how much I love the piece that I will carry on my back for the rest of my days-- and I want more. So, if you were looking to support a locally owned business, and support our local artists, you should definitely check out 717.

20-25 years ago, Jeff Slaugh - the owner of Custom Fine Line Design - did several tattoos on the…read moreoutsides of my lower legs. They are beautiful and I get a lot of compliments on them. After all these years, the colors are still bright and bold. I have several flowers and a monarch butterfly on my right leg and a fairy clutching a morning glory vine on the left, as well as several smaller tattoos. When I was on a trip out west many years ago, several people asked me if they could photograph my tats! Apparently out there it's unusual for women to have visible ink. I've known Jeff since he was a kid of 10 or 12 and bought some artwork from him - a painting of Christ on the cross for my husband. He's always been very artistic. When he had his studio on Main Street in Mt. Joy, I had him do several large tattoos (about 8" high and 4" wide) on my legs. (One time a female friend went with me and had a beautiful wolf tattooed on her forearm.) I've never had any trouble with them - they healed easily and have looked wonderful for all these years. I highly recommend Jeff, especially if you have your own design. I'm not an artist but I had ideas in my head. I was able to describe what I was thinking of and he drew exactly what I wanted. You won't find my tattoos in his books because I had him destroy the patterns after he finished his work - they are my original designs and I didn't want anyone else to have them.

The transfer was good, spacing looked nice, etc. But when I was laying on the table, something was off. I could feel the artist repeatedly going over a section they had already done. (I could feel the letters as they spelled it out and I knew they should have been finished.) All the words were complete. But the gun was still going. When I asked the artist what was going on, he cleared his throat and hesitated before saying "uhh, umm, yeah. It's done." When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that the word "PAIN" seemed bold compared to the rest of the wording. I thought maybe it was the initial swelling of the tattoo. But even after it healed, the lines word "PAIN" were thicker than the rest of the tattoo. It's been years, and I'm thankful it never blew out. But I'm still disappointed by it and I'm glad I can't see it on a daily basis because it's hidden under my bra. Most days I try to forget it's there because it's truly disappointing.
