my mom's tattoo

The shop was clean, bright, and had lots of plants, and the staff was nice. I think it would be a good walk-in place or something that is less detailed. My mom and I went in today to get a memorial tattoo for our dog, Daisy, using a sketch I drew (below). John, the artist, asked me if I wanted to keep it in the same sketchy style as I drew it, and I said yes, but to maybe clean it up a bit. I scanned my pencil drawing so there are some shadowy areas, but I made it clear that I wanted to follow the sketch. I went first and was nervous to get it on my ribs, but John said I did okay and didn't flinch too much. When I checked out my tattoo in the mirror, I was shocked. This looks nothing like my sketch. I had to go back to the table twice for him to fix it (he forgot to add toes on the paws) and she looks busted. The worst part was that I was joking with John about how I sent him 3 different versions of the sketch because I'm a perfectionist, and then he says he got it as close to the stencil is possible..... I was trying to give my mom the eye so she could fake chicken out-- it's her first tattoo and she was already nervous-- but she didn't want me to be on my own for this one so she got hers on her ankle. Hers looks better and all the toes were there on the first try, but the face is also busted. I'm really really upset because we waited so long to get this tattoo and I researched local artists beforehand and thought this was the spot for us, but these just aren't executed well. I don't get why he even put a stencil on if he wasn't going to follow it. These look like 2 different dogs, and neither of them looks like Daisy. I now have to pay another artist to try to fix her gigantic eye and add some of the texture I put in my sketch. Truly devastated.

Done by Matt!

this place. Definitely check out Matt's work! Such a steady hand and quality work. Prices reasonable too!

Friday the 13th flash special. Michael changed the colors to exactly how I requested. Awesome shop!

I went to Devine Line Tattoos on the recommendation of one of my daughters who had received a…read moretattoo on her collarbone that I absolutely loved. It was done in watercolor, and it was just gorgeous. I had a very personal tattoo that I had wanted done for quite a while as a part of a healing journey I was coming through so I booked an appointment with Mike Miller at the shop. The shop was very comfortable as far as the atmosphere and the staff was awesome. Mike did my tattoo which was a spine tattoo and it turned out so beautiful I couldn't be happier! Additionally, conversation and the overall experience during the time I was there was comfortable, easy and very welcoming. Since my first tattoo there, I have returned three additional times to have tattoos done that I had set aside until I found a tattoo artist that I really liked; Mike Miller is that artist. Because of the tattoos I have received from Mike Miller at Devine Line Tattoos and the many compliments on the work he's done, one of my other daughters has now scheduled an appointment to see Mike and complete some artwork she has wanted done for a while as well. I guess I would have to say that Devine Line Tattoos and Mike Miller have become our family tattoo artist; that's a fun thing to share in a family of girls. Thank you, Mike, and to your staff for being such a comfortable welcoming shop. I'm saving up for the next big project!

Initially I didn't have a very good experience after miscommunication over the tattoo design, but…read moreafter the fact, my artist did reach out to let me know I had been overcharged. He returned what I had been overcharged, which I find very honest of the studio, despite my first review.
