I had a tattoo done here by Markavius in March of 2014. I love the concept of my tattoo and everything was sterile. However, after it healed there were at least ten spots where the color had completely disappeared out of the tattoo. There are also places where the blue shading overlaps the black outline. It's subtle enough you don't see it at first glance but I see it. Not to mention, he seemed like he wasn't happy about having to tattoo me. He seemed like he was kind of cranky and was trying to rush to just get it finished, which probably lead to the shading overlap. Instead of being happy about it, I now just feel disappointed whenever I see the skin colored spots where it should be blue and green. Before leaving, Markavius told me if I needed it touched up I could come back within a year and get it touched up at no cost. I got this tattoo while I was visiting friends on vacation and wasn't able to come back to the area until right before a year was up. I understand the aftercare sheet says within thirty days, but he should not have told me within a year if he wasn't going to honor that. I came back to the area about a week or so before a year was up, and Markavius and another guy that works at Flipper's were sitting on the couches watching TV. They didn't even bother to get up when my friend and I walked in. They barely acknowledged we were there. Once again Markavius was short with me and acted annoyed, and then told me the aftercare sheet only covers touch ups for 30 days. I mentioned that I was told within a year, and he just reiterated that it only covers 30 days. When I asked how much a touch up would cost, he quoted me how much I had paid originally for it. Mind you, it's a small wrist tattoo, about two inches long. If I'm going to have to pay for a whole new tattoo just to get this touched up, I'm going elsewhere where they don't make their tattoos bleed out because they're rushing, and where they have a better customer service attitude. I love my tattoo, despite the flaws, but I would not recommend that anyone get a tattoo here. I'm posting this review to hopefully save people my experience and the extra cost I'm going to have to pay to fix this tattoo. Read Less
