Not welcoming, barely paid me any attention when I came in asking about a tattoo cover up or re do. Declined stating his faded so mine will probably fade too.

Jimmy is wonderful! He's done my last 4 tattoos. He does take his time which is a plus to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Professional, amiable, laid back, experienced - haven't gotten my ink yet, but I am rather confident in their abilities to do to a superior job!

I honestly can't say enough positive things about Joey. I walked into the shop in January with an idea (a cherry blossom branch with 107 full flowers and falling petals to represent the 107 pounds I need to lose to get to my goal weight), and Joey jumped in and accepted the challenge. Deposit made, work started a month later. The first 2.5 hour session was the entire outline. A month later, some scattered color. Another month, more color, and a rework of a Tinkerbell tattoo I had on my shoulder near the new work. Another month, more color. I currently have 58 flowers filled in that will all eventually be colored when I lose all 107 pounds (I'm still working hard at it!!). Since then, I've sent my next door neighbor to Joey for a touch up on one of her tattoos, and a new tattoo. She's also going back for a custom phoenix. And my husband just had the most amazing pinup inked on his leg by Joey two weeks ago. He's amazing! His skills are incredible, and I am incredibly happy with all of the work he's done for not only me, but my husband and neighbor as well. I'm just blown away by his skills. :) Thank you!!! Read Less

I visited over the weekend. The place is very clean. They have their awards displayed along with a lot of what looks like Chinese masks. Each artist has their own semi private booth. Its not a ceiling to floor wall, but more like a half wall. Still very clean and very professional. Danny did my tattoos and they came out amazing! I couldnt be more happy. While I was between tattoos, I looked around at his artwork, he is very talented and very easy to work with. He is honest as to what works and what doesnt and will give you his recommendations. I even got an idea for touch up and enlargement for one of my husbands tattoo. When he is ready to get it done I will most definitely recommend him to Surefire and Danny. Read Less

Nice place, cool artists and very clean too.I lost my virginity here... being my first time, I was nervous. The thought of it going through me freaked me out... I was imagining mass amounts of pain, blood and to be unceremoniously kicked out of the room with a "thanks, it was fun" after the deed was done, inevitably taking the dreaded walk of shame to my car as people laughed at the tears in my eyes.BTW... I'm talking about piercings, getcha mind outta the gutter (-_-)It took about 30 minutes in all. Paperwork was about 5 minutes, setting up the equipment was another 5, then idle chit chat and 'how to care for' took up another 24.5 minutes. The piercing(eyebrow) took about 15 seconds including cleaning(before), clamping and actual needle through eyebrow which was like half a second of... "meeeerp!!!" followed by my eyes tearing up as if I just watched that scene in 'White Fang' where Jack throws rocks at the wolf or 'Dances with Wolves' where Two Socks gets shot :'( Blah... tangent... evasive maneuvers...Anyway, Jordan was who did my piercing. She was awesome, friendly, answered any of my crazy little 'what if I...?' questions and gave detailed yet concise instructions for cleaning and care for my new piercing. She was also very cool about letting me know what exactly this whole piercing thing will entail besides "stick a needle through ___" which is all I knew about piercings. There's clamps and cleaning and marking stuff and looking twice at it... hell I though they'd bring out a survey team any second. OK, in all seriousness though, what I'm trying to get across is PRECISION... not just prick it and stick it. I couldn't be happier with my choice to go to Sure Fire and am very glad to have gotten Jordan as the one to give my piercing cherry to... she even gave me her hours and number to call in case I needed to talk (about the piercing). I'll be going back for more... maybe touch up some of my tattoos before summer, or get a new one. SYOY Read Less
