I wish I could give less than one star. Had a tattoo done 6 years ago by God knows who. Big bald guy. Terrible hygiene. Looked dirty. My fault for even trusting this person. I got what was supposed to be vampire bites and it looks like either bacon strips or genitals. Either male or female depending on the angle. I will never go back. Will never recommend anyone. I cried for days after getting it done. He scarred it up so bad that it's hard to remove now. I finally found a place that's able to cover it. $1200. Like I said, my fault for even trusting someone wearing a cut off tee shirt smelling like BO. Read Less

I was given a tattoo in 1997 on the lower left side of my stomach closer to my hip bone. This is the WORST tattoo I have EVER seen. I have since received half a dozen more from various artists and they too agree. It is only 2 inches high and 1 inch wide, consisting of a flower and a butterfly. I was charged $75, 11 years ago and 9 years ago I had to have it touched up. On another note, it took over an hour to do and the artist kept going over the same spot trying to lighten it up, but only created a mess and caused tons of scabbing and pain. I would NEVER suggest this place to anyone. STAY AWAY! Read Less
