After several years of contemplating the perfect first tattoo, I decided that it was time to move forward with it. I met with Brian and showed him the design that I brought in. It needed some additional details, to which he was happy to contribute. He redrew the design incorporating the new details and it was exactly what I pictured in my mind. We then talked about the color scheme that I wanted so he put color to the paper design. I was absolutely blown away when I saw it in full detail and in full color. I made an appointment to have it applied later that week. The tattoo took a total of about 5 hours to apply. I enjoyed talking to Brian and the other artists throughout the process. Everyone at the shop is so friendly; they even invited my wife and I to join them for lunch. After the tattoo was finished, I looked at my freshly inked skin and it was perfect - a true masterpiece. Brian did an excellent job! He was very helpful, creative, informative, professional, and patient. Before I left, I was even talking to him about additional ideas for tattoos because I will definitely be going back to Tattoos by Bee! Read Less
