Jay Gorman gave me a great tattoo! My mother passed away a few weeks ago and I came from Texas to Long Island to see her, but Jay was one of my mom's neighbors and his son shoveled snow for her sidewalks and driveway for years. I went to talk to them and let them know what happened to my mom. In talking to Jay, I realized, it was time for a new tattoo and emotionally was thinking of getting an American traditional heart and scroll, Mom. But, that didn't really fit me stylistically tattoo wise, personality wise and she was anything but traditional. 90 years old, lived by herself and still drove, so it had to be something unique and original. Jay and I talked, looked for something that would work and we somehow got to Trash Polka. That was it! She even listened to the Polkas on the radio every Sunday afternoon A Trash Polka Heart and MOM in a banging font.
Jay's design was killer and everything I wanted and more.
The shop was nice, clean and friendly with a nice vibe to get tattooed in.
Jay was professional, his application was spot on, but, tattoos should mean something and it basically lasts your entire life, so be happy with it, before the needle hits the skin. His patience and ability to work with the client and make it a joint effort, is huge.
Come with ideas, listen to his ideas, make some mutual decisions and put yourself in his hands, you'll get a great tattoo and have an outstanding experience.
Thanks again Jay! Read Less
