Seeing that it was my first, I anticipated great pain and stress. Cohnia took the time to go over the steps with me, sizing, placement, sanitation and cleanliness protocol, and then it was time!

If I decide to get another, I will absolutely go back to Axial Tattoo Studio.

Top of earring came off of my piecing and I went back to get them to remove the piece in my back. Lady charged me $20 only to tell me she couldn't remove it and to go to a dermatologist. WHY???? Shouldn't they know how to remove piercing they did? And what will the dermatologist do? I wouldn't honestly suggest not to go to Pelican Tattoo due to the unprofessionalism and rudness of the people working there. Beware and stay away because they don't care. I will go to another tattoo salon to get it removed.

I got something that might be considered a little "cliche" but the artist didn't judge me for it. He made a few recommendations base don his experience which were helpful. He did exactly what I asked and was very informative throughout the whole procedure. I felt very conformable with him. My tattoo is located right below my bikini line near my hip so it was painful but the artist let me take a few breaks in between the whole process which definitely helped. The outline didn't hurt as much as the coloring and shading did. After he was done he gave me instructions on how to take care of it and to call him if I had any questions. Overall it was a great experience and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for first timers.

This is my first Yelp review, but I felt that I had to create an account just so I could recommend…read moreBody Graphics to anyone who is thinking about getting a tattoo. This was my first experience under the gun, and the staff there was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. The woman at the front desk (I didn't get her name, sadly,) spent a long time talking about placement with me, transferring my design to paper in different sizes and laying them out on my arm to see where they would fit best, how to get the best layout for what I wanted, etc. Because my work was rather simple, I was able to meet with an artist named Lisa immediately and discuss the process further and review some of my options. (Side note - I had already been to another tattoo place in town that morning, and I just hadn't liked the vibe of the place. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the other shop, as they've got a great reputation. It just wasn't a good fit for for me, and I wanted to make sure I was in good hands for a major step like this one.) Lisa was available to do the tattoo right then, and the entire appointment took just under an hour. I am terrified of needles, so I had anticipated having someone sit on my chest to get me through the ordeal. Not only didn't it hurt, it wasn't even vaguely uncomfortable; I was actually disappointed when the whole thing was over. I'm sure a large part of this was due in fact to Lisa's skill with the gun as well as her ability to keep me talking while the tattoo was being done. I'm an English teacher, and we probably spent 90% of our time together talking about short stories that we love. In all, I could not have had a better experience. Whether you're an experienced veteran of the tattooing process or someone who is thinking about getting their first, Body Graphics is the place to be.

He prefers not to talk which is okay in my book because I don't like talking while I am getting inked. He puts on a movie as a distraction which is also very helpful for me to forget the pain that I have endure for a trypanophobic like myself. Plus, the guy was very supportive when I had the urge of passing out at one point. I honesty think it was really worth the almost $500 for the ink job he done. I've even tipped him for just being simply the best. Will be coming back for more!

I had a tattoo done early in the summer at the edge tattoo in south windsor by a guy named Kevin who completely messed my tattoo it looked terrible. I was so embarrassed to even show it. It was my first tattoo so i did not do all my research like i should have. So having a messed up tattoo was partly my fault for not looking into it first. Long story short after much looking and researching i found ironically a guy named Kevin at guideline tattoo that assured me that he could fix it and make my tatt look so much better. It took me a while to actually go back and get it fixed i was so scared that i would end up with a messed up tattoo after this there was no turning back it would have to stay like what ever it ended up looking like. Well i am so happy to say wow I ended up with such a good tattoo Kevin was so nice and willing to work with me to make me happy with my tattoo. I let him know this was going to be my only tatt i was not going to get anymore! He honestly worked so hard on it to make it look like what i wanted it to look like. I know it is not easy to fix up someones tattoo specially when it is so messed up. I finally love my tattoo and it is not even finished yet i still have to go back and have him put the color on. I would also like to inform everyone that the tattoo that i had before many tattoo artists did not even want to fix it. They just told me to cover it up with something different, others told me that they could try to fix it but the face could never be fixed because it was already so messed up. Well thankfully Kevin was able to fix the face and everything else. I will post a pic when the tattoo is finished.
