I have several large tattoos including a larger one lower on my back and have never experienced healing in this way. I have lost a majority of my purple ink and the small details that once were there no longer exist like the eye lashes etc. The purple used was actually another artist's from their stand so I have no idea at this point if it was expired and maybe that was the issue. The lines blew out around the triangle. I approached the artist Neil first to have it re-touched and he offered to charge me $20 bucks for equipment fees. Unfortunately if your not going to stand by your work like a professional tattoo artist I will not being going back to you or your shop again. The pictures were taken 2 months apart no joke I have 2 and 3 year old tats that look brighter! I am not looking for free stuff or free work I even tipped the guy 30 bucks on top of the original tattoo deal when I first got it. I just want to have a nice piece of art on my back and have literally never seen ink do this before. Flabbergasted at the lack of concern put forth by the artist! Read Less

I've known Alonso for years now and when he made the change over to DV I managed to get back in get some more tattoos done by him. He's a real down to earth guy and his artwork backs it up! If your a beginner with tattoos I'd recommend seeing him because he has a really light hand! They don't call him Mr. Clean for nothing as well. His station is always organized and clean. Hell the whole shop is actually! Everyone I've met here has been very cool and they set a good environment. I've been coming here for about a year and I've never had a problem nor no one else from here had made one. It's a cool spot for sure! Read Less

Went there for what should of been a 1 session tattoo. Drove 2 hours to get there. He showed up 45 mins late. Didn't have razors when he did show up so he left to go to the store. Finally came back and did 2 hours of work and then said he was done for the day! Over charged me $200. Called him and told him. Came back for a second session, AGAIN was 30 mins late when I drove 2 hours to get there. Again only did 2 hours of work and told me to come back. I said no and went and had the work fixed by someone else. The waves I got ended up looking like dicks, literally. And this was all done by the OWNER. He does not care about his customers what-so-ever. Read Less
