Crystal is very arrogant and refuses to take responsibilities for her actions. I did my research and made an appointment for a consult in August. The consult seemed to go okay, so I didn't question her when she told me she wouldn't be able to tattoo me until November! The day of my appointment came. Of course I was excited until I got off of work and looked at my phone. She had sent me a text approximately 3 to 4 hours before my appointment to tell me she had to push it back an hour. No problem. I forgot to mention the $100 deposit she requires to draw your tattoo. I still hadn't received any sort of drawing or sketch as to what she would be tattooing on me. Pretty scary. As I'm driving to her shop my phone rings. It's Crystal. She says she has to cancel my appointment due to electrical issues. I literally drove right past her shop and saw her sitting at the front desk as she was in the phone with me. The open sign was on as well as all of the lights. Her car was the only one in the parking lot. There was no electrician at her shop. My husband had taken the day off of work to watch our kids so I could even do this. She says she will be willing to tattoo me on one of her days off since she had to cancel my appointment on such short notice. I agree to let her tattoo me the following Sunday and ask her if I can see the sketches she has so far. She claims she will text them to me. About 4 hours later I finally receive a text with some drawings that kind of freak me out. My 8 year old daughter draws better than that. By now I have an extremely bad feeling about this whole thing. Then I get another text from Crystal saying that she forgot she had plans on Sunday, so she can't tattoo me then either. I'm very upset by now. I've waited 3 months, my husband missed a day of work, and now I've been cancelled on twice!!!!! Crystal refuses to give me my money back and has remained arrogant throughout this whole thing. I would not let her tattoo me if my life depended on it! I'm glad I got a second opinion from a respectful artist with morals who actually values my time and money as equally as his own. Stay away from Crystal and Inkstained tattoo if you don't want your time or money wasted for an awful tattoo, or in my case, just a waste of time. Read Less

It took me more than a decade to decide on my second tattoo.  After plenty of research, I went with Crystal and her shop, and realized from the consultation that I had made a great decision.  She made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident that she was going to be able draw up what I imagined and wanted.  We are a few sessions in, with a couple more left.  Every time I get more work done, I get compliments on how amazing it's coming along.  Crystal has a way of building rapport and making you feel like you've known each other for years.  Finishing my half sleeve will be bittersweet.  While I'm looking forward to having a finished piece, I will definitely miss the experience.  This is my first but not my final tattoo from Crystal. Also, her shop is incredibly clean.  I work in nursing, so I definitely have an appreciation for all things sterile, and you can definitely smell the sterility of the place when you walk in.  If you want a fully custom and personal tattoo experience, I highly suggest Crystal and Inkstaind.

Fantastic artist! Helped me piece together my half sleeve with email communication and some phone calls about ideas and images of examples I wanted to incorporate, all while I live half way across the U.S in Okilahoma and planned a session to have while visiting family. How many places do you know would take the time to communicate over several months to confirm ideas and work up drawings while maintaining the norm? She takes care of her customers like you have been family. I look forward to getting more work done from her in the future. Read Less

Crystal is an amazing artist. If you are looking for a speedy in & out, this is not the place. She sits down with each customer to discuss what you want and cares about the meaning behind the tattoo. Crystal did my first tattoo and my second, and although they are smaller tattoos on the tops of my feet, they are beautiful and meaningful. She has an uncanny talent for coverups and revamping old tattoos. Her shop is intimate, clean, and very welcoming. I can't wait to get something big done by this amazing, sweet and talented lady!

I couldn't be happier with everything at Inkstaind, definately Top Notch service from my first inquiry with Elissia, the consultation & my actual tattoo with Crystal, they take the time to make sure everything is perfect. It was an easy, pleasant & fun experience in a super clean relaxed atmosphere, excellent people to deal with in this shop....I don't think you could ask for more from either of them, they definately made me a happy customer!

My eye is not one of an artist and I had a hard time seeing what it was gonna look like from the sketch. Crystals patience with me when I hesitated was golden.

Crystal is an amazing artist and great company. She did a fantastic job of taking my very poorly described concept and turning it into a tattoo that reflects all of the emotion and clarity I had ever hoped it would. When getting a tattoo it's incredibly important that you be comfortable with both the artist and the surroundings. I've never met someone as understanding or willing to accommodate any requests you may have during the tattooing process. I can't imagine ever going to anyone else for ink. Read Less

Fantastic artist! Helped me piece together my half sleeve with email communication and some phone calls about ideas and images of examples I wanted to incorporate, all while I live half way across the U.S in Okilahoma and planned a session to have while visiting family. How many places do you know would take the time to communicate over several months to confirm ideas and work up drawings while maintaining the norm? She takes care of her customers like you have been family. I look forward to getting more work done from her in the future. Read Less

Crystal is an amazing artist. If you are looking for a speedy in & out, this is not the place. She sits down with each customer to discuss what you want and cares about the meaning behind the tattoo. Crystal did my first tattoo and my second, and although they are smaller tattoos on the tops of my feet, they are beautiful and meaningful. She has an uncanny talent for coverups and revamping old tattoos. Her shop is intimate, clean, and very welcoming. I can't wait to get something big done by this amazing, sweet and talented lady!

I loved the whole experience. A lot of effort and patience on Crystals part went into my permanent art piece that I love seeing every day! I especially appreciated the cleanliness of the studio and the way she makes what you're imagining in your head translate to paper then to skin. I definitely am itching to get another soon! Read Less

Crystal is amazing!! She's done lots of work on me and will do a lot more. Her shop is peaceful and clean. Great vibes! She caters to her clients from creating the art you want to selecting the type of music you want to hear while in her chair.

Crystal did an amazing watercolor addition to a "Sisters" tattoo on my wrist. I couldn't be happier with everything at Inkstaind, definately Top Notch service from my first inquiry with Elissia, the consultation & my actual tattoo with Crystal, they take the time to make sure everything is perfect. It was an easy, pleasant & fun experience in a super clean relaxed atmosphere, excellent people to deal with in this shop....I don't think you could ask for more from either of them, they definately made me a happy customer! I won't hesitate to call Crystal when I'm ready for more ink! Read Less

I knew I wanted a tattoo but not exactly what I wanted...I researched and I liked Crystals style. So I decided to give her artistic license (mostly). My eye is not one of an artist and I had a hard time seeing what it was gonna look like from the sketch. Crystals patience with me when I hesitated was golden. Then she said, when you walk out of here, I don't want you to like it, I want you to love it. And I DO!! She did beautiful work. Thanks again. Read Less

Utterly disappointed and sad with Crystal's tattoo, it is poorly executed, full of mistakes and plain ugly; not to mention VERY expensive.  And yes, she will place the blame on external circumstances and not take responsibility from her inability to deliver a well done tattoo.  Instead of proudly showing off my tattoo, now I feel like crying every time I look at it.

I had 2 disjointed pieces on my back/shoulder. I gave Crystal the background on the 2 pieces and what they meant to me. She added/ covered up and absolutely nailed what I envisioned .

From the moment you walk in to the studio you feel right at home. Inkstaind Tattoo shop isn't your regular run of the mill tattoo shop. Inkstaind is full of artistic flare and calming violet tones. Crystal is a true artist. She listens, researches and has her entire heart invested in all her tattoos. Crystal has such a gentle disposition and makes getting tattooed feel more like getting a massage. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enjoy their tattoo experience go see Crystal Inkstaind.

Crystal is a great artist that takes your ideas and brings them to life as beautiful and original artwork on your body.  She only does custom work.  Her shop is clean and organized.  She did my first tattoo and was very reassuring and took her time when first putting the needle to my skin.  She made me aware of what would happen and made sure I was ok before proceeding.  She is a great conversationalist to keep your mind off the pain.  I would definitely return and have already recommended her to my uncle who also was tattooed by Crystal.

Crystal is an amazing artist and great company. She did a fantastic job of taking my very poorly described concept and turning it into a tattoo that reflects all of the emotion and clarity I had ever hoped it would. When getting a tattoo it's incredibly important that you be comfortable with both the artist and the surroundings. I've never met someone as understanding or willing to accommodate any requests you may have during the tattooing process. I can't imagine ever going to anyone else for ink. Read Less

She tattooed my first ever tattoo and it is gorgeous!!! It's a celtic tribal knot work butterfly on my ankle and she did an amazing job with getting the lines clear on a fairly small size tattoo. It barely hurt yet she got the ink in nice and deep; so much so that I haven't needed a touch up to this day 5 years later and it is still deep beautiful black. She has tattooed MANY of my friends and everyone I know who has a tattoo from her is in love with it and her work. Great peaceful setting in her tat shop and wonderful work! Read Less
