I got my first tattoo here! I was visiting my friend in NC and we wanted to get tattoos together so…read morewe booked an appointment and our artist was Mike. Overall the appointment process was pretty simple. You can message on instagram/facebook and they were very responsive. When we arrived we just signed our waiver and provided our photo ID's. The actual place is very clean which I appreciated. Mike was such a friendly guy. It's funny because I came all the way down to NC to get a tattoo and I'm from NJ/NYC. Mike is from NYC and moved down to NC recently, I thought that was a funny coincidence. He always let us know what he was going to do before he did it and was very informative. He let us know the aftercare process and what to expect. That being said, we are almost a month out and my tattoo has healed beautifully! If I'm ever back in NC and looking to get a tattoo, I will book it with Mike.

I really wanted to be able to leave a better review because my tattoo was meant to symbolize such a…read moresignificant day in my life. I called the morning of to see if there were openings for a very simple tattoo on my forearm. I was able to get in later that afternoon. My experience at the parlor was great. Everyone was friendly and it was clean. I initially was excited about my tattoo, but as days went on I realized how terrible it actually looks. There are places where it is very dark and places where you can barely see it. I have since gone elsewhere to see about getting it fixed and the tattoo artist actually asked me if I had it professionally done because it doesn't look it. It is supposed to be 3 birds flying off of a dandelion but the birds look more like blobs. Other tattoo artists may be much better at this establishment, but I can only speak for the artist I went to.

Can't wait to go back and get it shaded. ^_^ I'll definitely be returning and recommending Justin and Southern Son to everyone! Everyone in the shop was really nice, too. I felt totally comfortable being there. As far as previous reviewers comment about the price...it was totally reasonable for the quality and time put into it. If you want a bargain tattoo find somewhere else to go, and you will get what you pay for.

I came to Ken with a hot mess of halfway thought out ideas and he was able to patiently and kindly pluck right out of my "oh squirrel" brain exactly what I wanted and executed it to perfection! My husband and I both are already discussing our next pieces that we will undoubtedly be going to Ken for. I could not be happier with the experience or the art!!!!

We went there twice, once for the Valentines Day couples special. Had no complaints.

It's just a rude thing to do. Knowing this now, I don't think we'll visit again.
