I can't even begin to express how much I love getting my ink here. Jill is amazing and if you want to know just why, read on:I'd only ever had 1 small tattoo before this, and after getting the itch to get another, I decided to start looking around for artists. Jill has so many good reviews (and for good reason) so I stopped by the shop for a consultation. I showed her examples of what I wanted, but it was basically a mix of various pictures that would have to be custom designed. She asked me to email her the pics and she'd try to make my vision a reality. A few days later (super surprised how quickly she drew it out) she emailed me what she'd been working on, and I fell in love instantly. She's an incredible artist, and I was amazed at how well she took the material I gave her and what I told her verbally to come up with the design. From there we set up the appointment and I went in to get inked within a week.Jill was really nice as she showed me what she came up with in person. From there we decided on the placement, and I quickly found out one of the best things about Jill: she's super blunt and candid about what works and what doesn't work for a tattoo. She told me why the place I originally wanted wouldn't work and we ended up settling up on a place together. For the tattooing itself, Jill works quickly and effectively, and she has a light touch which means the area doesn't feel like a punching bag afterwards. She's also a great conversationalist so the time passes by pretty quickly. The price was perfectly reasonable and she was up front about it so you aren't surprised at the end. You also get 30 days afterwards to come in for a free touch up (only the first touch up).I emailed Jill 2 weeks later about coming in for her to take a look at how it was healing and see if I needed to get it touched up. Since I felt the itch to get another tattoo already, I also sent her some reference pics and asked if she could come up with a design for me. When I went in yesterday, I was reminded just how much I love Jill. She told me straight up that what I wanted would have to be way bigger than I had asked in order to actually look good and be detailed. I talked to her about turning the tat she did a couple weeks ago into a half sleeve, and she instantly brainstormed ideas with me. We looked up some designs together and she free hand designed the custom parts right then and there. She gave the price up front again so I wasn't caught unawares, and from there I got in the chair and got it done. I'm going to be coming back to her every few weeks to continue the half sleeve until I finish it because she is that good.Honestly, if you're looking for a quality tattoo artist who won't bs you, is up front about everything, is knowledgeable, and will work with you to make your vision a reality, you can't ask for better than Jill.
