Great shop with great artists. I have been coming to this shop for almost 20 years and now gotten 7 tattoos from this shop and am happy with each and every one.

I went in wanting my first tattoo, I had shown them a drawing I did that I wanted to go on my bicep. He was absolutely against it, just kept going on rabbit trails as to why I couldnt get it. In my mind Im thinking its personal preference? he stated It had small details that wouldnt age well, I was fine with not adding them because it was something to fill the sketch. Dude gave me some really good points about tattoos and how they age; not w/o being very condescending and rude about it, very big mansplainer. He just did not wanna do this tattoo. I dont know if it was because it was my first and he didnt wanna deal with that, if the line work was to difficult, or if he didnt wanna do anything that wasnt drawn up by himself. After listening to that for a good 10-15 mins we left and went 6 mins up to road to a place called Studio 819. I went in expecting the same thing but I wanted a second opinion, dude there named Marcus took one look at my pic asked me where I wanted it and how big. I told him my bicep and he started the process. He explained to me like the other place all the little details and aging. so he went around my details with something else I was very happy with the finished product, it was exactly what I wanted and I didnt get a list of BS. Highly recommend going to Studio 819 if you wanna get the tattoo YOU want, theyre the chillest dudes and they execute.
