I went to dougs today because I had heard a lot about him and he was close and convenient to my home. I could make this really long because I really do have a lot to say,but I wanna keep it short and simple because I hate reading long reviews myself. He was cocky, he did NOT center my tattoo properly and took it lightly and jokingly when I told him to fix it ( this is permanent art on MY body!) And tried to convince me to get more than what I came in for. I will not go back, I will not recommend, I did NOT like his FREESTYLE style of PERMANENT art! Idc how much experience u have, being professional is always necessary and that he wasn't. Find a better shop Read Less

Doug is not cool at all.  I went to him to get my daughter's name with a moon and a heart next to it.   He didn't even do the script that I asked for.  Midway through my tattoo he told me that he hates doing names and that he had something else to do.  He asked me why I was getting the name.  I told him that my daughter was born 14 weeks early and was still in ICu.  He was quiet the rest of the time. He rushed through my tattoo.  I had to ask for a mirror to look at it.  He was already gone another tattoo artist gave me a mirror and offered for me to come back and get some more detail so that it would look like the script I chose.  Yeah right never again.

Doug is an exceptional tattoo artist with a fun personality. his prices are very cheap. He is professional, Precise,  and good at what he does. I would recommend if you have a small, simple tattoo you want done. He does have a thing with having alot of other people in the back where he is tattooing & he talks on the phone while working. Which is pretty unprofessional but it doesn't seem to affect his work. Go at your own risk. Read Less
