I get most of my tattoos from Scott Updike. He is not just a tattoo artist, but he is an actual…read moreartist. I have commissioned him to do a painting for my husband for christmas. He has this beautiful old skool style and amazing use of colors. Robert is also amazing. He remembers tattoos he worked on decades ago. Seriously, he remembers doing one of my husband's first tattoos that he got in the early 2000's. Oh and he does really good work. Check out their portfolios! As for the shop, I know they use clean packaged needles (you can watch them open the package). While they do have flash you can pick and stick, they mostly do custom work. It's in a cool section of town and the exposed brick on the inside is beautiful. My problem is all the scary taxidermy animals in bathroom. They tend to scare the pee out me me. Way to be creepy, guys. I love the artists here. Always check out the site and the work of any artist you decide to go to. Make sure you are comfortable with them.

My friend and I went in because I wanted to get my tattoo redone because it faded over time…read more We walked in without an appointment and met with Ava who was so nice and more than helpful. She recolored my tattoo and I was on and out. I also had a question about getting the tattoo above my ankle covered up. I've never had it retouched so it's fading and I really just want something else at this point in my life. I did a see a picture of a flower and wondered if that would work as a cover up and indeed it will work. They do take venmo and forget what the other cash app or they take cash. Thankfully I had enough cash and money for a tip. Its a very laid back atmosphere and there's no hard selling to get a tattoo. They definitely leave you to your own pace to look at the picture books to see if there's something in them you may want to get. For me today it was just the recoloring of my tattoo on the side of my hand. I'm definitely thinning about getting the tattoo above my ankle covered up and I know I'll be going back and scheduling an appointment with Ava.

SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY,& SKIN AND GO TO A RELIABLE TATTOO PARLOR. My appointment was at 3:00, Ricky…read moreshowed up 30 minutes late, didn't actually start on tattoo until around 4:20. He already had pic of tattoo for 2 months. I paid $450 for him to NOT finish my tattoo in one session and for him to cause the secondary scarring . He has no disregard for his clients...Ricky should have arrived on time, should have let me know ahead of time that he would not complete Tattoo in one session, and he should already know not to hook the needle, which caused the secondary scarring. He had the audacity to tell me that I needed to schedule another session for him to complete tattoo, & that it would cost me another $150. The only positive comment I have is that the other tattoo artist was quite helpful & Kenny( owner) made offers to resolve issues.
