The absolute WORST tattoo I've ever gotten! Came in last Saturday and saw Spencer. It's not at all what it was supposed to be! He "tattooed" writing on my forearms from a picture I provided him. The letters are scribbled, there are extra lines in multiple spots, and none of the letters are consistent. It was hard to see how it looked because he put saniderm on it and you could still see some if the stencil. I now have to find an artist to cover it or laser it off. If I could give less than one star I would. Thanks for ruining my mothers day gift... Read Less

Brian is an absolutely INCREDIBLE artist!! He does exactly what the customer asks for. He is professional, sweet, clean, and very skilled!!! I always recommend him to anyone looking for top notch, high quality work. If you bring in a picture and ask him to "tattoo this on me" make sure every detail is what you want, because every detail will be added from the design you bring in. He is very meticulous, detailed, and thorough so if he does "a bad job" it is because the art you brought in was bad art that was essentially transcribed on to your skin. Read Less
