I researched artists like crazy before landing on Eris at Venture. I searched Yelp, Google, instagram, facebook ect. I wanted a black and grey artist with crazy good detail, deep blacks, dark/gothic designs, and a creative eye to design and create their own work of art. I am super picky and Eris nailed all of it. The other artists JR. and Joni have amazing portfolios as well, I would have been happy to work with either of them as well.Eris's designs are original and one of a kind, he incorporates what aspects of the tattoo you want, but also puts his own artistic twist on it. I am currently working on a whole arm sleeve and I wouldn't trust any one but Eris. My first session was approximately 8 hours, Eris worked quickly but with a ton of attention to detail. We had a few breaks to stretch, grab a drink, make a phone call, all in all the experience was very enjoyable. Believe it when people say, tattoo's are addictive. Now to the Venture Tattoo shop1. Super Clean...I mean SUPER CLEAN, I have not been in a cleaner more well kept shop2. Super Organized, no tools, papers, trash anywhere left out.3. Very welcoming, from my initial consultation to the day of tattoo4. Not a revolving door tattoo/piercing shop, pretty much appointment only, they truly care about the quality of their work...not just quantity of people they can move through in a day.5. All the artists are really cool, easy to talk to, and a fun environment to be in.One word to the wise...they get a ton of emails for work...be patient, and they will get back to you. It is worth the wait...you want a tattoo that looks killer, gets tons of compliments, and can withstand the test of time. Do yourself a favor and contact Eris, JR or Joni. Thanks guys, looking forward to my next few sessions. Read Less
