I came in here to get a tattoo with Elisha Schauer. She did a great job with the tattoo design when…read moreI came in for my appointment and I loved it. However she was quite cold in demeanor and she just seemed like she couldn't care less about me. She lacked good customer service skills which put me off at first but I didn't mind. The tattooing process was perfect and I loved how it came out. Then she decided to not put anything on the tattoo and wanted me for it to heal naturally. She did this suddenly without any warning and she didn't ask my consent before she did this. She said this is how she tattoos all people who get their first tattoos because that's how she wants them to get used to the healing process. This was very disheartening because I asked the person at the front desk that I wanted Derma-shield or Tegaderm for my tattoo and I did not want it to heal naturally. Clearly the front desk person did not inform Elisha beforehand and this upsetting because as the customer, I have the right to request what I want to do with my body. I wanted this adhesive on me during the healing process because I wanted to be on the safe side and I didn't want my tattoo to get infected. When I asked for Tegaderm to be applied onto my tattoo specifically, she said she would prefer for the tattoo to heal naturally. Then I persisted and asked for the derma-shield and then she relented and applied the derma-shield. Although she didn't wipe down the area properly and there were bits of Vaseline on the tattoo (you never put Vaseline on a tattoo and it's because Vaseline traps bacteria in the wound of the tattoo which increases the likelihood of infection). I left disappointed and upset and I didn't pay attention to the process perfectly because it was my first time tattooed and this all happened very fast. Elisha said I could call her afterwards to ask any questions about the tattoo and I did. I called her for 5 minutes and she answered my questions. I forgot to ask some other questions and I asked them and she then became quite rude. She told me to stop asking so many questions and that it would be fine despite her horribly messing up the Tegaderm application. I really disliked her attitude and her impulsivity, arrogance, coldness, and carelessness ruined the tattooing experience for me. Avoid this tattoo parlor at all costs because this is not the right place for anyone to get a tattoo.

Hi, I was tattooed…read moreby Mari. She's incredible. I was in the industry for 11 years. Was married to someone who owned a very prestigious shop in Westchester County, NY. I have been in CT for 4 years. I refused to get tattooed by anyone out here bc I couldn't find anyone good as in NY. But Mari is damn good. What I personally look for in a tattoo is clean lines. That seems like a given but a lot of people either can't do it, or it blows out (expands in your skin). Also I said I would never ever ever in my life get lettering. I am basically covered in what looks like a garden. No lettering. Just no. But, never say never. Not only did I get lettering, but I got it here in Connecticut. And I wish I could have handed her a $100 bill as a tip. Aside from the tattoo and it's quality, Mari made me feel comfortable. She even gave me some candy to double up on the slim chance I would pass out bc it had to go over a bone for a brief minute. Thank you Mari, I really hope I am spelling your name correctly. She goes by @therealsashasmilesz on IG I may or may not choose to post a photo of it bc it is a personal tattoo but just look at her work on IG. She can 100% no doubt, tattoo her butt off. The rest of the people who worked at the shop were also very kind, calm and friendly. Thank you so much "Sara" (from the Bronx)
