So I only found out about this place because a former coworker of mine works here, and, in the spirit of wanting to support the people I know, I decided to let her tattoo me. It was overall an awful experience and a mistake on my part. The place is dirty, the building is falling apart, and the staff is rude. All of this should make you walk out immediately, so do yourself a favor and pick up on red flags when you see them. Somehow, I did not.And if that's not enough to steer you away, be aware that they make you pay for your tattoo upfront, before they start tattooing you. It's not uncommon for artists to require a deposit in order to hold an appointment, so they at least get paid for the time & effort they spent drawing your tattoo if you don't show. But this...is SUPER sketchy. You should be able to see the work and be satisfied with it before you pay.It took her way less than an hour to tattoo me and the result showed that she was rushing and not paying attention. The basic outline was shoddy and uneven, sections of the tattoo were not completed, there was no shading...frankly it showed that the artist lacked basic artistic competence and skill. I've long since concluded that all of the work she does is copied from other artists. The tattoo was shitty and you couldn't tell what it was. Oh, and the best part: she charged me $150 for a tattoo that took less than an hour and had 0 shading or color. Most artists won't charge you more than $100 for one HOUR. I've paid less for tattoos in full color and shading. Yeah, I was definitely scammed. Feeling defeated, I just left.Please do your research if you want a good tattoo. When you're eager to get your first one, it can be really tempting to go to places like this that can get you in super easily. I notice too that they run a bunch of specials and discounts, which can be so tempting as well. But don't fall for it. They have no interest in producing work with artistic credibility. There are so many better places to get a tattoo. Read Less
