I had a very disappointing and costly experience with CAIN at Human Canvas. I came in with a very…read morespecific fine line tattoo request, which Cain claimed to be experienced in. He charges premium hourly fees at $130/hour yet I later learned he's been tattooing for less than two years, something he never disclosed. He promised to send custom artwork before my appointment but never did. On the day of, he said I was actually scheduled for the following week and threw together a last minute design that didn't look like what I requested but I was assured it would be very soft and feminine once shaded. I was charged for 4 hours, including time spent prepping, printing, and adjusting the stencil, not just tattooing as he originally stated. After a second session with little improvement, I canceled my final appointment and asked for a refund of my deposit. Aside from asking me to come in for a healed picture he has not offered any resolution. He has ignored my texts, calls, request for my deposit back since I wasn't going to have the tattoo finished there, and he has never followed up or returned a call. I waste $900 to get a tattoo I didn't want, and now I have to pay to remove what he did so another artist can fix it. I did find a highly skilled ARTIST (Laura Mohn at The Kindred Spirit Tattoo co.) who completed the second half of the tattoo with custom fine line art for less than Cain charged and it's exactly what I asked for and absolutely beautiful! Do your homework. Don't be fooled by confidence that isn't backed by skill or integrity. The pics are my reference photos I showed at the consultation. What he charged me $900 for, and the second half of the tattoo which was completed by Laura Mohn from The Kindred Spirit to show how they look side by side for reference of what I asked for versus what Cain did.

My friends and distant relatives would be surprised to learn I know a little something about…read moretattoos. Even more so that I have one. My age and chosen profession would suggest the art of tattooing would hold no interest for me. Nothing would be further from the truth! And the truth is I have tremendous respect for the craft and those who practice it. It has been my good fortune to experience the unique styles and techniques of a few local practitioners all of whom are expert in their own right. But it is the work of Mr Mike Kelly of DLG Studios that prompts this review. First of all he is truly a gifted artist in oil painting and captures the exact likeness of his subject.He has the ability to translate that into an amazing portrait on the human canvas. But his skill is not limited to facial reproductions. He in fact does ingenious work in taking a concept or idea and transposing it into reality. He takes your imagination and brings it to life. Or he can simply take a picture image and place it where you want it. I would suggest looking at his portfolio to decide for yourself. Or stop by and meet him. You'll find him to be warm and welcoming. His colleague Michalina is talented and color minded. And the gallery is clean and well organized. But when you decide to patronize DLG reserve a time right away. He gets booked well in advance. In the world of Tattoo its important to go where your health is protected, your wealth not diminished and your satisfaction assured. You probably have an outcome in mind and dont appreciate unfulfilled expectations. I suggest to you DLG is that kind of place. A place that takes you seriously. Novice or veteran of multiple sessions. You receive equal respect. Mr Kelly is first and foremost a decent and kind man. The father of a son to whom he wishes to leave a good name. To me thats important in choosing from a list of very talented artists in this area. The truth is I went in search of a tattoo and found a person I genuinely like and admire. His work is something you will feel proud to be seen displaying. It has the power to change impressions for the good.

Be the judge of my experience. I made an appointment to get two sets of earLOBE piercings. The…read morereason I made the appointment was the week prior I brought my dad in for an earlobe piercing. His earlobe was pierced with a stud. So when I went in I fully expected to get studs...I did not. First I knew I offended her when I made a comment about cheap jewelry but I was referring to fragile acrylic balls. Something told me to leave but like an idiot I stayed. On my left ear the third ring sits on an angle due to the way it was pierced. On my right ear I noticed a difference in the ring sizes and had it confirmed that one ring was 8mm and the other 10mm. But my genuine question is why the differences in your protocol. You wouldn't put a big ring in an infant or toddlers ears. Healing is much more difficult with hoops-I've had lots of near misses with a brush. New place I visited said flat back studs should have been used. I could tell she wasn't interested in seeing the cutesy ideas I had for my ears but I listened with feigned interest about how she can afford fancy meal kits. I made an appointment to see an APP piercer who said they'll fix me up once healed. I wasn't going for a gauged look. Bottom line to all those reading. Ask if the shop is registered APP. Write down all your questions and get it in writing if you have to. Ask if the business follows set protocols or I just got unlucky because she didn't care for me because I don't fit the profile of a piercing fanatic. In fact one piercer told me "if the piercer tells you it HAS to be done a certain way walk out immediately. I still tipped and I wish I hadn't. I don't like writing negative reviews because a business owners livelihood depends on customers. Please don't let a piercer tell you it's their way or the highway. In fact the reason I didn't say anything while still in the chair was fear of being kicked out of the shop as noted in other reviews which have since been removed by the business owner. As have the other negative reviews. From experience I can tell you there are options where you won't be at the mercy of a piercer.
