I can't even begin to describe how incredible my experience with Xavier was he completely exceeded every expectation I had! I drove down from Maine for a tattoo, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole process. But from the moment I walked into his studio, all of my nerves disappeared. I was so comfortable and impressed that I ended up going back for a continuation three weeks later.
Xavier is not only a true professional but also an incredibly welcoming and friendly person. He made me feel at ease instantly, taking the time to chat with me, not only listen to my ideas but also advocate for his, and make sure we were on the same page before starting. He explained everything, step-by-step, and answered all my questions with patience and care, which made me feel so comfortable and confident in his abilities.
As for his artistry, WOW. Xavier is an absolute genius when it comes to realism and portraits. The level of detail in his work is mind-blowing. The portrait I got is a tribute to a my beloved Lux Who we lost in April and it's so lifelike, it well surpassed my expectations. Every line, every shadow, every subtle nuance- it's perfect. You can tell Xavier doesn't just tattoo, he creates art. The precision and care he puts into his work are unmatched.
I honestly couldn't be happier with the final result. Xavier's talent is out of this world, and the whole experience, from his professional yet laid-back demeanor to the incredible artwork he creates, was worth every mile I drove. If you're looking for someone who truly specializes in realism and portraits, and is authentic and down-to-earth Xclusive Ink is the place to go and Xavier or one of the incredible artists that work for him are unbeatable. I'll definitely be making the trip down again for my next tattoo--no question about it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend! read more
