Got two here last summer. The guy was awesome. He also saw I was struggling pain wise with the second one and asked me if I wanted to take a midway smoke break. Which no one else would ever do. Wouldn't even consider getting tattoos anywhere else anymore! And who would have thought in a little town like albany! Read Less

I got my very first tattoo side peice from Chris when I was 21 and once again 7 years later he did my hand tattoo for me last night. He is amazing! Takes his time on every tattoo he does from lager to small! He makes art on your body that is unique, beautiful and perfect! Read Less

Every time Chris uses his artistic skills on my skin, I leave either extremely happy or completely amazed. Thank you. I love the chest piece you did for me sunday!! The cleanup and corections you are doing on my back piece that someone else messed up are incredible and makes me feel proud to be a loyal patron of PermaGrafix Read Less

Went in to have a previous tattoo from a different studio recolored since color didn't take well first time.  Chris was completely cold, mechanical, nonpersonable and very heavy handed.  I have had several others by different artists and have never felt like I was just a bother to my artist until today.  Have never had one hurt like this either and I have a high pain threshold.  I would not recommend this place to anyone.  Overpriced and no personality. Take a trip into High Priestess instead, much better experience. Read Less

Had a simple tattoo done, line work and shading. Lines were nice and clean with a couple sketchy lines. Shading was scratchy with very little radiance. Didn't fully capture my idea. Was over priced, I've paid less for more detailed tattoos elsewhere. I'll probably have it re worked a bit somewhere else. I think Chris is a good artist that perhaps lost his passion. Hope this helps. Read Less
