Over the years, when flying back home I've always got myself inked and boy I am so stoked and happy to chance upon the Workaholinkz crew. Can't say enough words to express how much I appreciate their service.
Spoke to previous artists about the concept I had in mind but all fell through. So I made a search of a shop that 1) near my place of residence 2) have experience working with oriental tattoos 3) have good reviews. Luckily I was able to find Workaholinkz.
So did an inital follow via Instagram and of course rabbit hiole myself to the various works of the artists and their main guy (s/o Ricson). I was pretty impressed with their projects so I slid a DM for an inquiry. A few moments later, Angel (another s/o) responded snd we chatted about my current ink and explained my idea.
She was very accommodating and professional. Took the time to understand my style and concepts. Also noted down my schedule and did the follow ups too. Aside from those, one of the best things she did for me was hook me up with their awesome artists - Ronnie and Mike.
I'm so glad I was introduced to them and got to work on my project. There's alot of great things to say about them too! First their punctuality and professionalism! We scheduled an initial personal consult to discuss my idea and they were on the ball when it came to the meeting. They were receptive, critical and provided great positive views. They also tool the time to hear my story and put the story into pictures and identify as to how they would be able to execute it. They definitely had the vision!
After we worked out and finalized the idea, Angel an the boys did their thing (comms, follow-up, sketches,), we were able to set dates when to do the project.
The shop is clean and well looked after (big shoutout Ken). The vibe is so chill and relaxing. It is exquisite in that apart from the usual tattoo paraphernalia and stuff, the shop had different works of art action figures, masks, books that added to the character of the place. The music selection was awesome too!
I had 2 sessions done and it was all good and worry free. Mike and Ronnie tool turns to do the project. I really have to say that it feels as though they have a hive mind wherein they can easily pickup on ideas and if you are able to work with them, you can see that they can easily keep up with each other's task and ideas.
Them guys are so chill, funny and experienced it was really a vibe working with them. I told my stories and they told theirs and I learned about the culture and business too which I should say another plus! Anytime you get to learn from someone or some people, you know it's a good thing.
I guess with the length of this review, you can definitely see my satisfaction, appreciation and approval of Workaholinkz. If you are reading this review - best look them up in your socials. If you're thinking about getting yourself inked, get in touch with them and put that initial consult through. I promise you you'll be loolked after. They are going to be honest with their feedback as well as their talent fees (which I almost forgot to mention, very reasonable)
I will end by leaving some pics of the project that was done on me. Hopefully the images will sway you to believe that these folks are for real.
Salamat ulit Workaholinkz. Let's get ready for another project! Bzzzt read more
