My wife and I went in for tattoos for her birthday because we'd read so many good reviews; we (stupidly, I understand in retrospect) assumed that if they had hired such exceptional artists, the owner would be amazing as well, right?Wrong. He spent the entire consult complaining, in detail, about each of his staff members - this one doesn't come in because she thinks she's a hot shot, that one doesn't come in because he has a drug problem, etc. During the consult he wasn't able to do a very small customization on an image I'd brought in, but it was a minor detail so I wasn't too concerned. My wife liked her tattoo initially, but after it had healed she realized that the line work was shoddy, and the owner had said it might be because "most redheads don't heal well/don't get tattoos well." During my tattoo, he at one point said "oops!" and I thought he was joking, only to realize that he actually had messed up and not left enough space for the right amount of colors, so he had to go back and "fix" it, which was done terribly. He informed us halfway through *my* tattoo - after my wife had already gotten hers done - that he only took cash, so she had to leave to get some. When she came back she looked at his work and took a picture and showed me, and we both realized that he had done the WRONG ink color for a huge, significant part of the tattoo. I pointed it out, which got another "oops" and he then just went over that color with the other color.The end result was that my tattoo looked like it had rolled around in pea-soup diarrhea. I was, thankfully, able to find a much better, more professional artist at a place in Connecticut, and I've certainly learned my lesson about doing research and not making assumptions. If you are getting a tattoo here, do NOT get it from the owner - his skill is low, he's incredibly unprofessional, and he may make a mistake that you'll be stuck with until/unless you can afford to have it corrected.
