Shop Review: Note: The people from Fay's have all moved to Skin City: Fay's
Tattoo Shop is a very traditional tattoo shop. It is exactly what one
would expect to find near a large military base. The walls are covered
floor to ceiling with flash, and the counter features a display of
tattoo-related materials. Each artist has their own enclosed room. The
shop is clean and I have no doubt that the artists are very safe and
sanitary. The shop is located on a major road, and is very accessible. I
found Fay's Tattoos to be a comfortable, professional, fun environment to
be tattooed in.
Artist Review--Cat Spencer <catbones [at] acid.org>: Cat Spencer is an
incredible tattoo artist and an incredible guy. I felt completely at home
working with Cat on design, and just talking with him. He does very good
work, on and off the skin. He is experienced, award-winning, talented, and
an all-around great person. He handles color and black and grey very well,
with an outstanding use of white ink. I have seen his mastery of many
different styles and types of tattoos. He has enthusiasm for the art of
tattooing. He was well worth flying out to see!

Shop Review: Each artist at the shop has their own room. The shop is very
clean and there is a very large assortment of flash to browse through.
Artist Review--Cat Spencer <scarecrow [at] catbones.com>: Cat Spencer is a
great tattooist with a strong grasp of the fundamentals of artistic design.
He is also a very easy going nice guy, which makes getting work from him a
real pleasure. He is a "Master Tatooist" and a credit to the profession.

Shop Review: fays is a quiet little shop filled with nice people. it looks
like a typical tattoo shop in that the walls are covered with flash. they
have a tv and dvd player in the cozy lobby and there were movies playing
through the day. everyone in the shop was very friendly and nice. the shop
was clean and they were happy to show off their cleaning room, autoclave
room, etc. great shop!
Artist Review--Cat Spencer <scarecrow [at] catbones.com>: artist review:
cat rocks! his artwork is great, he's super friendly and fun to talk with.
great chair side manner. if i remember our conversation right, he
apprenticed in kansas city for a couple years in the early 90s and has
been tattooing for about 10 years now. i've seen his work on myself as
well as several other people and it's all great. i drove 1800 miles
(round trip) to get tattooed by cat. i cant recommend him strongly
enough. cat rocks! there is further info/pics on my webpage at
http://extrapolation.net/bodyart.shtml if anyone wants more info.
