I had been debating a tattoo on my ankle for quite some time. I had a mishap with ink on my neck getting all screwed up, so I decided to be choosy on where I went. I called Lucky Bamboo to see about a consult, and they told me they could consult me right then if I wanted to. So I drove down there, it was like 8:30, explained to Kollin what I wanted.. where.. and I even had a couple very tiny pictures to give him an idea. I informed him of the issue on my neck and he knew of my concerns. To my surprise he was able to work my hour long session in right then. I'm a wiggle worm and he was talking to me while I was getting tattooed and actually was very patient with all my questions and wiggling. He would simply stop and say ""ok you're wiggling too much again"", and I would collect myself and the work would continue on.I was never happier with a tattoo. The rosary on my ankle is still my favorite of my three. He even asked if it was okay if he did his own little touches and got my approval before just shading it however. Anyways, about a week into using the Lucky Bamboo tattoo kit (best stuff ever by the way, smells yummy too!) my tattoo started to look a little weird, and I didn't know if it was normal or not. The only tattoo I had at that point was on the back of my neck. I was panicked. I called in, and Kollin told me to come on in. He came early from lunch, and sat down in a room with me (almost in tears) and looked at my foot. Basically I was worried for nothing, but he assured me if it still wasn't turning out normal AFTER it healed, to come in and see, and he was happy I was concerned and stopped in. He was very adamant about saying ""if there's a problem, I'd rather see it and know it's nothing than to have you brush it off and have it really be something."" I've never felt more comfortable and taken care of in a tattoo shop (I've had work done at over 5 places in the area). They even do follow up e-mails which shocked me, because most places don't follow up unless you come in with a problem. Tattoos are definitely fun to get and fun to have, but just like cars, you want to trust where you're getting them from. As a clean freak, I'm impressed with their facility, and as a professional, I'm impressed with their staff to the highest degree. Not to mention the good pricing on the tattoo and the aftercare kit. I was actually under what I thought I was going to spend. Thanks Lucky Bamboo. OH! P.S. To the guy complaining about your deposit. You've got to be kidding me. They're not crooks or scam artists. They're trying to do a good job, and they're succeeding. Shame on you for trying to soil someone's good name. Read Less
