Okay the break down, 2 reasons why I love this tattoo shop and 3 reasons why I love the artist Christina Platis(@tattoosbytina) or called Tina.Shop1) CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN. I used to work for a hospital research lab... so I know what aseptic technique is. This is the cleanest tattoo parlor I've ever been to. It is very well taken care of, all artists properly prepped and equipped with sanitized equipment and working space. I doubt, unless there's like a tattoo parlor by doctors, that there is a more well kept parlor while maintaining a welcoming environment... which brings me to....Shop2) YOU ARE WELCOME HERE. For example different religions/morals/lifestyles, even conflicting beliefs/views... you are welcome and you will feel welcomed. If you are the not average joe or the average joe... you are welcome here and everyone in the shop will do their best to respect you and make you feel cool~. You will be treated with the same respect you give. Tina1) RESPECTFUL, KIND, & GENTLE. The tattoo I was getting was Biblically based. I don't know Tina's views, but I could take a guess that they weren't the same as mine. Even so, she was extremely respectful and gave me just the same unbiased attention. I know tattoo artists out there that would not give the same care and respect Tina did. She made me feel appreciated/respected as a person. She also took into consideration my pain (getting tattooed and healing tattoo) while working, made sure I was as comfortable as could be, and that she never exceeded my limit of pain. Just overall amazing. Lord willing I'd have all my tattoos by her and if not her, her treatment of me is now the standard of care in my book, I'd accept no less from a tattoo artist. Tina2) BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK. I am so satisfied with her artwork I keep her business card in my wallet and anyone who compliments my tattoo, and is curious about the artist I just hand them her card, and share my amazing experiences with her as my artist. Look her up to see her artwork. She likes american traditional but by no means is she limited to that style, she excels in all areas. Tina3) THAT COOL KID YOU WISH YOU WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WITH. Yeah. She's just really cool. Read Less
