Shop Review: Shop is small, and not professional looking. No standard
tattooing/piercing chair.
Artist Review--Dan: Horrible job, looks nothing like the work I brought him
to copy. Lines are too thick, and are blurry. Shading is terrible, hardly
any blending at all. Face on tattoo looks nothing like picture, eyes, nose
and mouth are distorted looking. In general a horrible job. Will take
over $250 worth of work to be fixed by another artist.

more. If anyone has been there recently, please submit a new

Shop Review: Shop was clean, amazingly friendly, and not at all "bikerish."
parking is a bitch...such is city life. jet and i worked quickly and
efficiently through art decisions and placement, i brought in what i wanted
done, we did some changes, cleaned up the artwork and got to work quickly.
Artist Review--Jet <onigod13 [at] aol.com>: Jet was really very calming to
work with, and i was very glad that he had a good background in Hindu
artwork. He was very relaxing to work with, and gave me all the time i
needed for several 5 minute breaks in our almost three hour session.

Shop Review: Very clean...the first one I've seen explain the needle
packages
before opening. The walls are filled with there own artwork and local
artists... it's very cool. Knowing that there are REAL artists in the shop
made all the difference!!!
Artist Review--Steve Shales <lotus_tattoo [at] hotmail.com>: After viewing
all his awards, most of them being international from NIX conventions, I
knew he was the one! Steve was more than helping in setting up the design.
I knew he was a costume only shop and brought him a drawing that I did of
what I wanted. After reviewing his work I allowed him to do what ever he
wanted to the drawing to make it perfect and he did! The process of drawing
and configuration only took a few days before I was able to begin. I
couldn't belive how gentle he was. Even when he was working underneath my
arm it didn't bother me (I belive we spent 4 hours there with maybe one
break). The colors and line work are beautiful. I've never seen anything so
vibrant in the tattoo industry before. I most definetly put him up there or
beyond the best like Guy Atchison and Aaron Cain (if you don't know look it
up!) I am very picky when it comes to permant bodyart and steve understood
my want for perfection and fullfilled that till the end.!...I WON!!!

Quality work, I couldn't believe the detail in my tattoo. Looks better than
