My sister and I went to get our first tattoos here and had heard good things about the shop from other people, so we were anxious and excited to see if those claims were true. We discussed our ideas with Walt, who was quick to criticize both of us on several aspects of the tattoos we wanted. He was very judgmental, and not forgiving about the lack of knowledge we had about tattoos. I had drawn up a sketch of the general look of the tattoo I wanted, and he repeatedly told me that the styles of the different parts of it didn't match, even though I repeatedly told him I only drew it to get the idea of the tattoo on paper. When we came back to get the actual tattoos, Walt was over 30 minutes late for our appointments because he took a walk-in before us. He did my sister's first, which turned out great, and then did mine. Both sketches looked okay, but it was easy to tell that he had done them that same day as soon as he got in, instead of when the ideas we spoke about were fresh. There were a few stray wobbly lines in the sketch up of mine, but I mistakenly thought they were from pixelation and that he would smooth them out for the actual tattoo. Nope. He literally tattooed quite a few pixelated lines onto my skin. The lines are in a dreamcatcher-like pattern, so it's extremely noticeable. Also, as I was getting tattooed, I heard him say "oops". If it was a joke, it wasn't funny.There are quite a few bad lines in the tattoo itself, which I will post a picture of. The price I paid for the tattoo was not worth the experience, and I wasn't asked to tip so I can only assume that they took the tip out themselves. I would not recommend getting tattooed by Walt, but it seems that other people have had better experiences with other artists. Read Less
