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.

I got my first tattoo on 7/1/17 with Crystal and I am more than thrilled with the outcome. It was a great experience from my initial inquiry online to the day of the tattoo itself. Crystal went the extra mile to make sure I was happy with every aspect of the tattoo, from placement, to font, size, etc., and gave her own input to ensure the tattoo came out looking great. She made the experience fun, calmed any nerves I had, and Did an excellent job on the piece itself. I will definitely be back in the future for more! Thanks Crystal!

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.

About a year ago, I chose Crystal to do a tattoo I had been wanting for close to my entire life. I was instantly comfortable when I walked into her shop and she treated me with the utmost respect. She listened to all my ideas and drew up my dream. The day of my tattoo she was welcoming and relaxing, she even let me choose the music. She was personable and very gentle with the needle. She made sure to keep me laughing and distracted. The salve she makes was remarkable for healing and she offered me a free touch up for anything I found wrong. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for ink.

I just finished my 2nd coverup with Crystal and it looks amazing! I was introduced to her work through my daughter and we had an instant connection. I feel like I have always known her, and she "gets" me. After the first cover up I pretty much give her an idea and she goes with it. If you wake up one day and want a tattoo this is not the place for you. She is very thorough and starts with a consult, then she does the art work , then it goes on your canvas- you. The studio is ultra clean, and has a very zen, relaxed vibe. Check her out!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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. I have a full sleeve she created and plan to get much more art created by her. I highly recommend Inkstaind Tattoo Studio!!

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!

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.

I absolutely love my tattoo from Crystal, she is amazing! My mom and my sisters all have tattoos from her as well they are all amazing and so personal. She is an excellent artist. She took the time to create something very special for me. It is more than I ever wanted it to be. She really took my dream and made it into a beautiful reality. Thank you so much for my amazing piece I can't wait for my next one!

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 . Her insight is scary good, and I am looking forward to adding on to my piece in the very near future. Crystal definitely has a gift. You will not be sorry

Crystal is the absolute BEST tattoo artist. Tom and I had such fun getting our Anniversary tattoos here. It's clean, and if you aren't sure what you want, crystal is an amazing artist.

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.

My experience at Inkstaind was my first experience at a tattoo studio. It was also my first tattoo. Crystals art on paper is pretty damn good but the tattoo she gave me is amazing. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I will definitely return.

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.

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!

Couldn't even do lettering right. I have foot tattoos I told her to push it in deep within a week allmost all of it fell out. Went somewhere else and had them redo it. Looks great now but what a waste of money! Have had it for over a year now still looks awesome! (After another shop fixed it)
