Went for the Friday the 13th as a walk in. I entirely understand it’s stressful for the artists witch so much clientele coming in, but that doesn’t excuse a few things. I don’t remember my artists name but he was bald and about 40. I asked if my ankle was a good spot to get the tattoo and he didn’t say anything against it. Then he put the flash on not really asking how I want it angled, and when I asked if we could turn it a little, he had some attitude and said “ok. I’ll move it ONE TIME.” Considering this is going to be on me for life, I’d appreciate if the artists didn’t make clients feel guilty getting something placed the way they want it. Then half way through tattooing me, and not saying anything before, he only then tells me “just so you know this is probably going to all fade away.” If I knew this was opinion before when I asked, I would have gotten it somewhere else. I said before, I understand that they’re in a rush, but with such small tattoos, there is time to be kind, be thorough, and make sure your client leaves with confidence that they got great ink. I was more than kind the entire time, and tipped well anyway. Overall the tattoo looks ok but the lines look as if they were rushed. Read Less

My husband and I are going through an exceptionally difficult time. We tried for 3 yrs to get pregnant and finally did. Sadly it ended in a miscarriage. When I found the colors of the miscarriage loss awareness ribbon I immediately decided to get a tattoo with these Incorporated. We stopped in a few different shops and ink and needle West was the last one we stopped at. The artist we worked with, James, immediately made us feel comfortable about being there and was very helpful. I wasn't sure, you see, what I wanted to get exactly and needed an artists help to figure it out. I just had a general idea. However, Every shop we had stopped at the artists we spoke to could not do this. Nor could they give me an idea of how much it would cost and how long it would take. Unfortunately even though our artist there, James, was incredibly talented and helpful I couldn't handle the whole tattoo. James completely understood, deducted the time we were not there from what we owed and only asked that we allow him to finish his piece. He was also very helpful in telling me some things that helped when the pain began to make it too difficult to continue. I want to stress that none of this was James's fault as I am already very sensitive to pain due to pre-existing conditions. I highly highly recommend this shop and most importantly James himself.

I got a small arrow on my ankle in Sept. It's done healing now and looks like crap! The stem if the arrow is not even. Thicker on the bottom half then the top and the head of the arrow is completely uneven. I gave the benefit of the doubt and called to ask for it to be fixed. They I guess we're having some sort of even today so they said they could not do it today which is fine. I then asked if I could schedule something and which days they did this type of thing and the lady was completely rude and said that people are coming in and just to call back tomorrow. She said this twice to me and didn't answer any of my questions. I will never go back here and now I'm going to just pay the money to have someone who is professional fix it. I wouldn't even give them one star. Read Less
