I got a tattoo from here and was pleased with the overall experience. The price was fair and the artists were friendly. The shop was very clean. The tattoo healed up fine. No problems. I would highly recommend this place. The bad reviews of this place seem a bit unfair. The artist always asks the customer if that is where they want the tattoo so if it wasn't straight then you approved it to be put there. Secondly, if you don't follow the aftercare instructions for piercings and tattoos they will get infected. If your a squirmer then you will mess up your own tattoo. This place was professional and courteous. I will be returning for more tattoos. Read Less

I got 2 tattoos from this shop about 4 years ago from someone who worked there named Shannon. I had just turned 18 and was eager to get tattoos and didn’t really have any idea what to expect. I also went to the tattoo shop by myself. The first tattoo I received were the words “Love yourself” on my side. At first glance in a mirror, it looked ok. So a few days later, I went back to get a tattoo of 3 small birds on my shoulder blade. I then came home and showed all of my friends my tattoos. First, the “love yourself” tattoo..I trusted their opinion because they could actually look at it straight on instead of in a mirror. They all said it was uneven and sure enough..it was VERY uneven and also looked like a 5 year old wrote it when looked at closely. Second, the birds tattoo.. I already was unhappy with how they looked. The birds were too fat and not shaped right. My friends said they looked more like stingrays and they were right. I can’t tell you how many nights I cried over how awful these tattoos were. I eventually went to another tattoo artist who covered both of the tattoos up.. making both tattoos significantly much larger than I wanted and turned into something I didn’t originally want either. Hundreds of dollars went into the cover ups and I wish Artful Impressions or Shannon himself would reimburse me for all of the trouble I’ve gone through with these tattoos. I’m so upset I now have two LARGE tattoos that I didn’t want and I’m actually spending even more money now to just get removed completely because I’m so sick of looking at them. This whole thing wouldn’t have even happened had the artist known what he was doing in the first place. I want this tattoo studio/Shannon to pay for all of this cover up & removal work!! Read Less
