My clients have left many good reviews for me that I EARNED with hard work and good customer service but they are hidden because my clients apparently don't use Yelp enough. The reviews go straight into "not recommended" and the business I show up for every day has 2 stars. Well, I use Yelp. I've got some credibility on this predatory website and today I'm going to use it. Turnpike tattoo has been in business for 2 decades. I got the second tattoo I've ever had in my life here about 15 years ago by Kelly Doty. A lot of great artists started out at this shop. Over the years prior to my employment I would stop by turnpike on a whim with friends and get small tattoos as walk ins. I've never had a bad experience here as a client or as an employee. I'm sure this entire review is against the rules but at least our business isn't paying Yelp to remove our bad reviews like everyone else is. Here are some tattoos I've done recently.
