Unsanitary. The chair still had ointment on it from the previous customer. The work area with all his tools still had crumpled paper towels and other trash on it. The jewelry he used on me was pulled from a drawer full of other loose jewelry, and not in a sterilized package. He DID use gloves, at least. No confirmed infection as of yet, I'm just keeping a close eye on it. I should have stood up and left as soon as I noticed the messy work area. He was a nice dude; pretty friendly and talkative. I feel bad for the one star, but an unsanitary work area in this business truly is unacceptable.

The guy worked with headphones and his hands shook the entire time. Rushed through my tattoo and caused scaring from going too deep in an area. Line work is aweful and doesn't properly connect in some areas. Awful experience for trying a different shop.

Love Shawn's work...have always gone through him...i get so many good complements on his work he has done for me, i tell people where to go and who too see....yea he may wear headphones and not talk much...but that's okay with me because i rather him listen to music and concentrate than mess up my PERMANENT tattoo! So thank you so much Shawn for your wonderful work...will be back for more!!

Went in to get a matching Tattoo with a friend, told the guy behind the counter what we wanted and he charged us $160 each for our tattoos, not because the tattoos were big, or even complicated, he over charged us just because we had writing in our Tattoo's, 4 words! He said it himself, he said lettering was a pain in the ass and he just didn't like to do it. Last time I checked if your going to own a tattoo shop ( Because we were talking to the owner ) you should be prepared to do words and learn to like!!. We went to two other shops and got our tattoo's priced so much lower no where near $160, today we will be getting them done for $50 a piece. I will never set foot in that place again, and I will never recommend this place to anyone.
