I just got my sleeve reworked and finished here -- let me tell you, these guys are THE BEST! I booked my apointment with Rich. As you know, making appointments with artists can be a real pain in the a** (the art isn't ready, isn't what you are looking for, costs too much, etc). That wasn't the case, and I was/am presently surprised at how easy this was with Rich and Royal Ink Studios. Prior to my appointment, I sent a photo to what I wanted to Rich. He said he would do exactly that, and gave me a range of prices to expect (which were also less than what I anticipated, I should say). The day of my appointment, I had some things fall through which allowed me to come into the studio earlier than we had planned. Not only did Rich accommodate, he even BOUGHT BE BREAKFAST (doughnuts, because who doesnt like doughnuts?!). Once we confirmed the final details of the art, I was promptly under the gun. Rich has been tattooing professionally for years now, and it certainly shows! He knew when I needed to break and didn't give me s***, if I needed something additional. He didn't kill me with how heavy handed some artists can be either.The tattoo took between 3-4 hours. Before I left, Rich and Rey gave me a few Royal Ink stickers, and a t-shirt on the house. When I left, I didn't feel drained or beat or chewed up -- just a little tired (I've felt much worse after some tattoos before, believe me). The aftercare instructions were provided and I was on my way! 5/5 would come back -- great guys, notably clean shop, excellent work, great prices. All around the best shop I have been to! Read Less
