2013 - I have been here more than once, but after my last encounter I would never return. The artist who tattooed me was Rob, and as someone else has mentioned his work is admirable; however, his professionalism is lacking. The tattoo I got from Rob is one of the more expensive tattoos I have on my body and is easily my least favorite. I would go so far as to say I'm actually ashamed to show people this particular tattoo. The tattoo I got was to cover up a name, so usually there would need to be lots to lines to be able to hide a name. I decided on flowers with colors to be able to hide the tattoo underneath. The day I came in for my tattoo, Rob had sketched up something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (Nautical Stars) and said the reason is because the flowers would not be able to cover the name properly. Obviously my ignorance is why I trusted him and went with his suggestion. When the outline was done on our initial appointment, I was pretty happy. It looked nice and had promise to be a dope tattoo. On our second and last appointment, I kept saying to him "that's a lot of black" and he kept making it seem as though he wasn't done and to wait until the end. Nope, this tattoo is just a big black blob on my arm, and I'm totally unsatisfied. At this point I'm seriously considering having this tattoo removed, and starting over because with so much black it will be pretty difficult for any artist to cover it up. I've been to this shop to have 3 tattoos (including this one ^) done. Each time I've had a different artist, two of which were very unprofessional. They have no problem smoking (marijuana) or drinking while tattooing - which is a big NO NO to me and should be to any consumer. I'm honestly surprised their doors have stayed open this long, and I think their demise is inevitable. Steer clear.[Edit] One more thing: Rob never posted the work he put on me which is a clear sign that even he wouldn't want people to see the work he did. Also, throughout his social media you will notice he posts/caters to pretty much one skin type which is unfortunate, as the area is predominately a different skin type...yikes. Read Less
