Got two tiny tattoos with a bestie a few months ago. We had our appointment with Andy. Andy made us…read morefeel extremely comfortable with the entire process and even modified the sizes of our pieces a few times to fit exactly what we were looking for. The vibe of the studio was very clean and very quiet. All the artists use really quiet tattoo machines so you don't have the constant buzzing throughout your appointment. This was the most comfortable I've ever felt in a tattoo shop. Between the people, the cleanliness and the overall vibe, I would happily travel back (I live out of state) to get more work done here.

I was going on a road trip from San Francisco to New York and it just dawned on me: "Wouldn't it be…read moreawesome to get a tattoo during the trip?!" Sometimes inspiration comes, and you just run with it. So I scoured the web for possible shops to get some work done and I eventually found Gypsy Rose. I was a little wary because I had found the shop on the internet, rather than being referred to by word of mouth after meeting someone with work done by an artist. But James Ann was great. In addition to the piece of art she gave me, she also taught me the difference between real artists and guys just tattooing out of their basement. The two are extremes that should not be compared. Also, as proof of James Ann's awesomeness I have transcribed the following conversation I had with a random run-in in South Dakota. Me: Whoa, those are some pretty dope tattoos! Do you mind if I touch? (I don't know why but I really like touching other people's tattoos). Lady Barber: Thanks and no, I don't mind at all! Me: I'm actually planning on getting a tattoo while passing through South Dakota. Lady Barber: Oh, yeah? Which Shop? Me: Gypsy Rose. Have you heard of it? Lady Barber: Heard of it? I go there! James is the best we've got around here! How do you know about her? Do you know people from here? Me: Really? Uhh, I kind of just found her on Google... Lady Barber: Wow. That's amazing. Crazy shit the internet can do for you these days. Which reminds me, I need to write a review on her barber shop. It was awesomely filled with awesome antiques.

I booked a deep tissue massage because I'm an athlete and also suffer chronic migraine, so the muscles in my shoulders and neck tend to be really painful and tight. I've had loads of massages by other therapists that really help prevent migraines. Unfortunately, this massage was very much not deep tissue. It was relaxing enough, but it was light-touch and definitely not what I was going for. In fact, the condition of my traps/shoulders feels worse today than it did when I went in. If you're looking for just a regular ralaxing massage, this might be an alright choice. Definitely not the right choice if you need deep tissue/pain relief. I wish places wouldn't advertise deep-tissue if they can't deliver it.
