I just got my second tattoo in over 20 years. My daughter has had several done at Self Expressions,…read moreso I decided to trust her judgment. I'm SO glad I did. I brought a color printout of a sunflower for a "loving memory" tattoo on top of my foot. Ken gave me as many breaks as I needed, and his final product was an exact duplicate of the sample I brought him. So many people have told me it looks like a flower is lying on top of my foot, then asked me where I got such a "real" looking tattoo. I think Ken should expect to be very busy in the near future. I guess there's no better advertisement for your trade than top-quality work. I'm already talking to Ken about my next tattoo!

Horrible customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. I called AAA tattoo studio,…read moreand was texted a few days later by an artist, Stacy. The introduction text was generic and friendly. When I went to book with Stacy I asked about how long she had been doing liner. I also asked for some pictures of her past work. She responded she had gotten a new phone and couldn't produce any pictures of her previous work. Then text me to contact her when I had finished my homework. I was asking valid questions that I would ask or research on a product or service. I would expect most people to get tattoos, which are permanent, and would like to see the artist work. Especially someone putting a tattoo on your face. I'm not saying Triple AAA parlor is bad, but Stacy was very rude, off-putting, and not customer oriented. I attached pictures of the conversation. This is how Stacy addresses new/potential clients if they ask questions or for pictures of work. If Triple AAA had a Facebook page with pictures or pictures on their website, I wouldn't have had to ask.

She kept me laughing the entire time and it helped so much. I love my eyeliner! She said she doesn't do brows yet, but I'll be back to see her as soon as she does.

There is no picture to post for a reason: I went in on a Monday and made an appointment for the…read morefollowing Thursday at 3PM, I was quoted between $140 and $160 (no problem, I've paid that much for ink before). Thursday comes and he's nowhere to be found. The shop is supposed to open at 1PM and at 3:30PM there was still no one there. The woman who works next door at the thrift store was nice enough to call his cell phone for me (as the shop number just rang and rang) and she said he was going through some things right now but he would be right there. Fast forward half an hour and still nothing. I went to a different shop. I will not make another appointment here and I caution you against it as well. I would give zero stars if I could.

I've gotten two tattoos now from this shop and couldn't be happier. Great quality and great…read moreservice. I couldn't recommend this shop more. I had one walk in and had to wait a while, but with a walk in that should always be expected. I scheduled an appointment for the other and was shown drawings and had exact measurements done and everything. Everyone there is so nice and friendly. I talked to multiple artists while being tattooed that came to see the work I was getting done and every single one is so kind. Great quality work that healed so well. They definitely have a lot of experience and it shows. I got in and out and got exactly what I wanted. Ken Turbo was so helpful and offered a lot of suggestions and ideas for my design and, him being a professional, of course I let him roll with his ideas and seriously can't say enough about this place. The shop is so cute and there is art hung done by the artists everywhere. Highly highly recommend!!!

I don't know what happened with Ken. He did some REALLY good work on me and then I got one coverup…read moretattoo and now that it's healed you can clearly see the old one. Then I had gone for another coverup and he started - did the outline - said he couldn't do the rest cause my skin was rolling because of my age, whatever that means. He charged $100 for something that took him 30 minutes to do. Plus, he kept the appointment charge of $20. I was sorely disappointed. I will NEVER step foot there again. I will NEVER recommend this studio either.

If you are looking to get a tattoo at Jolly Roger, I couldn't recommend them more. Greg (Monkie)…read moredid some work for me a little while ago and it's by far one of the best tattoos I have. However, if you're looking to get pierced, I'd recommend going down the road to Jolly Roger's sister shop Peg Leg and having Tom do it. JR's piercer Ryan made my piercing experience very uncomfortable by constantly making crude comments which seem to be his method of calming your nerves before a piercing. Honestly, I was glad to get out of the piercing room just so I get away from him. He seems very experienced in piercing because my nose healed fine and never gave me with any problems, but his creepy demeanor just didn't sit well with me.

Like all the other "tattoo parlors" in Paducah you leave a message and no one returns your call.read more
