I got my very first tattoos on my wrists of the chains from bioshock and though it was a simple tattoo, the artist, Johnny, was very enthusiastic about. I was a walk in and though he was busy at the time, it only took an hour after they wrote me down in the book to call me back and do them on the spot. It took and hour and a half I believe to finish them (wording and chains) and he even let me negotiate my price, which was much appriciated since I couldn't do too much at the time. He was a very friendly man and even had works he had done previously for others on his wall, as well as pictures of his wonderful family. After we were done, he gave me an instruction sheet on how to take care of them and answered any of my questions or doubts I had.
*NOTE: make sure to follow the instructions on spot and listen to ANY suggestions he gives. Otherwise your tats will fade EXTREMELY fast. Because I work in fast food, I wash my hands and wrists frequently which resulted in fast fading. I'm going back to him after four months with my chains.
On a side note, I've gone back to him to get my second tat done and was happy with it as well. I had to call quite a few times to get hold of him, however, if this is the case, ask to leave a name and number so he can get back to you. I wasn't impressed with the few times a female answered the phone, she was a bit rude and hung up before I could finish talking, but that just comes with the store I suppose. My second tattoo was of the godfather hand puppet and it looked and looks wonderful. Not a lot of people understand where it's from, but that's okay. He was just as equally enthusiastic and even slightly concerned when I showed him my chain tattoos. He offers free touch ups, where as I've seen a for parlors charge for them, so that was awesome. I'm thinking of getting them done again soon. Often and only have I talked to Johnny, but I'm sure that the rest of the tattoo team is as equally fabulous. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
