Tim Martin did a tattoo for me this past weekend at the Ink Mania Expo. I chose a tattoo from his book that consisted of a rose with a lace bow in the realism style. Halfway through tattooing me he tells my boyfriend that he decided to change it up and make it a traditional style tattoo with a realism bow. We did not discuss this. He did not tell me he was doing this and had he discussed it with me I would have told him no and to keep the style as realism. That being said, it... is a solid tattoo. I do like it very much and have been getting a lot of compliments on it. Even other tattoo artists' at the expo said they really liked it. Although it is a nice tattoo I would have preferred he done it in the style I chose. Had the design looked like a traditional tattoo in his book, I would NOT have purchased it. I would have simply said, "Oh, that's cool.". It is simply unprofessional and poor business judgment to change a tattoo style without consulting the person you are tattooing. This is MY body and that is permanant.. it was not his choice to make. See More Read Less

Came in with just an idea, a very basic one at that and in about 15-20 minutes Esben had drawn it out better than I expected. He was very clean and talked me through the process. It was my first tattoo, and what a beautiful one. So happy I got it done by him. It's a real piece of art and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Read Less

Went to Tim Martin and he did a phenomenal job that well exceeded expectations. I Gave him a bit of a challenge and he designed an amazing piece of art I'm so grateful for. I lost my 13.5 yr old dog two days ago. It's been a living nightmare. Tim took me in as a walkin and just knocked the memorial to my pup out of the park! Highly recommend him and already talking to him about my sleeves! Amazing work and great personable guy. Everyone there was very cool, chill, great atmosphere. Thanks Tim! Read Less

We were visiting on vacation from Michigan and had found out about Aaron's fantastic work. Being a collector of cool tattoos, I had to get something done while here. Aaron is just fantastic and personable. He worked with me on design (I let him work his magic with sacred geometry and dot work) and I couldn't be more pleased. A conversation piece and something I will always treasure. Clean shop, cool vibe, reasonable pricing. We will be back!! Read Less

Experienced, friendly, and diverse artists with their own styles. Everyone at the shop works hard to retain their customers and keep the place clean. I personally am thankful for the fact that despite expecting to black out every time I go in for a session, the artist that I see has never complained about it or once told me to stop coming in for tattoos-- haha!
