Been coming to Tony Balony for over 12 years and he's always top notch. Wether it's tattoos or artwork, his stuff is awesome. He loves getting creative and always has time to talk about what the customer is looking for. Give the guy an idea and let him run with it. You wont be disappointed. Read Less

I would'nt  recommend Tony to do a Tattoo on my dog.I lost my dad in a horrible accident back in may of this year.so I contacted Tony about doing a portrait tattoo of my father on my arm in remembernce of him .He was totally cool...was like yeah .....i can hook you up.i told him how this was very important to me because my dad was my best friend ...and the way we lost him was just horrible...so this tat was extremely special.so...he said that's cool i understand just e-mail me the picture that you want and i'll hook you up.so..he was totally cool...i didn't even have a ride at the time ,had just moved her from the eastcoast,and he even came as far as to coming and picking me up..which was very nice i thought.so i get there and he pulls up the picture on the computer...and sizes it and we put it on my arm and i say its cool...but it's the same exact picture that i brought..which he had told me om the phone a few days earlier that he had the perfect portrait layout for my tattoo...but i just went with the flow,when i should have stepped up an dsaid somethimg then.ok so....he's tattooing me and then he offers me a beer and then he drinks a beer.(which mind you the fridge is stocked full....very unprofessional)!!!!However...I'm a bit nervous so I'm drinking right along with him.ok ...so the tattoo takes about two hours maybe...and he charged me 250.00...that is what he said that he charged for portraits.so i look in the mirror and i was kinda in a hurry so i just looked really fast,payed him his 250.00 and another 50.00 for a tip...yyeah.....!!!He was nice enough to take me back home and told me how to take care of my new tat.ok cool see ya thanks...so....i get in take a shower....you know a few -people look at it and start asking a bunch of ????so of course i get pissed i then go look at it....i then tell myself ok  i'll give it a few days before i say anything.well...few days go by....then i notice my white in my dad's teeth start to bleed down under his teeth which shouldn't be happening .and a lot of lines that are not even..and he just went really really deep and way dark.so...i call and confront Tony with  my concerns...and he says to me that he's 100% sure that once it heals all the way that i'll be happy with it.WELL......it's been 2 months now...I'm NOT HAPPY,And he wont return my text nor phone calls.so how professionall is that ???you tell me???Then i go to his website...and I don't see the first portrait tattoo anywhere in his folio...so I'm pretty upset!!!Granted...a lot of this is my own fault for not doing my school work on the artist...however...he said if i didn't like it in the end he would make it right ,and that's all i'm asking at this point.Tony...what do you specialize in????make up  in that for 250.00....fair is fair!!!

A friend and I went in on a referral to see Tony this weekend. Me for my first tattoo and my friend for her 6th. Tony had us email photos and drawings of what we wanted beforehand so he could draw some ideas up and do his research. He wanted to be sure our tattoos were perfect and original. Tony is an extremely talented artist. He went above and beyond to make our tattoos special. He opens all equipment and pours all colors in front of the client so you can see everything is clean and that he takes pride in the highest standards when it comes to safety and professionalism. I had a great time getting my first tattoo and getting to know Tony, but more importantly I absolutely love my little tattoo and my friends 1/2 sleeve tattoo is truely a piece of beautiful artwork. I am already planning my next one and I will be back to Addictive Pain Tattoo soon. Read Less
