In March 2016, I started doing some research in regards to the best tattoo shop in the area. I was looking to get a massive peace that would cover a large majority of my back As a tribute to two very dear people who have passed away, I wanted to get angel wings on my back. But I was picky, and I wanted them re-drawn, re-edited and so on. I came across this place. I read all the reviews, saw all their published work and finally decided to go there in a fine afternoon to inquire about details. When I walked in, Tim was the only one there - he was working on a beautiful rose peace on someone's shoulder. He asked me if I needed help and I told him what I was looking to do. He said he would be willing to work with me, I just needed to make an appointment and we will discuss more. I took a business card and left with a good impression. I eventually called, made an appointment, and went for the first session. He re-drew the wings. I told him I didn't like the base of the wings, I'd like that changed. He changed it, but explained that's how wings normally look like. Sure, no arguing there! After maybe an hour, I was happy with the drawing and agreed to proceed. This would be my second tattoo and the largest one. Before, I had only experienced one tattoo - for about 5 minutes! This would take approximately 10 hours! So he started. I am a VERY ticklish person, pretty much any touch will make me giggle, at least. Throughout the experience, I did just that. I would forever be remembered as the human who laughed the most during a tattoo. Tim was extremely friendly, accommodating and checked on me the entire time. I could only tolerate 2 and a half hours for the first session. By the time I went for the second one, I had learned to take Advil and lasted about 7 and a half hours - I really wanted the piece done that day. By the end, I was annoyed with the pain, but I was highly satisfied with how the piece turned out! Tim showed creativity and figured how to enhance the look of the whole tattoo. He is truly talented and you can clearly see his passion through his works! He loves what he does and it shows. Because a tattoo experience doesn't end with the actual tattooing, Tim gave me some samples for after-care. I apologize, I forget the name. They turned out crucial! My body normally tolerates just about everything I put it through and, with Tim's help & advice, my tattoo healed quickly. I can't describe the itch, which I haven't forgotten a year later! But, it's part of the healing process. The picture attached was taken right after it was finished, after over 7 hours of tattooing. The price paid was way worth it! However, for me, it was reasonable. He could have charged more.I can't stress this enough! Please, whatever you do, do not get a cheap tattoo - you will get what you pay for! I highly recommend Tim & anyone at Twisted Heart Tattoo and for any reasonable requests. Throughout my "stay" there, some other artists there, like Jason had started and finished pieces - they all looked awesome! This place is a gem! I will forever be thankful for this tattoo and any subsequent ones I may decide to pursue; I wouldn't want anyone else to do them! Words are definitely not enough to show my satisfaction and gratitude! Tim, you rock! Keep up the amazing work! Read Less
