I am only a visitor to Minnesota, so was only able to pick a shop by online research. I narrowed it down to Leviticus.The short review... I can say I absolutely made the right choice picking Leviticus. No attitudes, nice folk, price was inline with what I was expecting, super clean shop, awesome decor, and great customer service.The long review... I walked-in and had my concept reviewed by Ella at the front desk, she is really nice. She listed to my schedule problems and that I have limited availability. She helped me pick an artist based on my schedule, I went with Opie. And I only had to wait a couple weeks for my appointment. Really it could have been within a week, but I was traveling.I provided several versions of my art within a week of my appointment. I was worried that my changing ideas would cause a problem, but they said not a problem at all.Finally, I arrived for my appointment. I was pretty late to my appointment actually, but nobody had a problem with it and they didn't worry about it at all. I met Opie, he was cool a friendly. He showed me a concept he worked on based on my ideas and it was perfect.Opie was beyond great actually because I was worried that my artwork was not his style and that he might try to steer me another way, which I have had other artists try to do... But he was really supportive about giving me what I want and making certain I was happy with it.Anyway, he got setup, did the deed, and all along the way he checked to make sure I was good. He told me little bits about what he was doing and how it would look, and he was great at talking, not too little and not too much... It was perfect.Also, while Opie was doing his work, I was checking out the other artists in the room, how they interacted with customers, and the work they were doing. It was pretty clear that everybody was nice, customer friendly, doing quality work, and a number of them came by to check out the work being done on me and were really complimentary and supportive. I didn't need any of that, but I loved that it was liked that.Also, being late I failed to eat before I showed-up, and that didn't go well. I got a bit woozy just as the work was being finished. It wasn't horrible, but as soon as I mentioned it Opie and the staff jumped on it and helped me get seated, got me water, a honey stick, and made sure I was good. They were totally on top of it and were so cool about it to which I am grateful.When I got the bill it was totally in the range that was quoted to me, so there were no surprises. Totally happy with the pricing.Anyway, in the end, it was a great experience from end-to-end. You can't go wrong with Leviticus, and even though I just took off the bandage I can say it looks amazing.Thanks Opie, Ella, and the rest of you at Leviticus. Read Less
