Shop Review: The shop was very clean. Kevin cleaned the entire room prior
to me entering after his previous client. Also, all the equipment was
sterilized and covered as much as possible during the tattoo.
Artist Review--Kevin Mashburn: Kevin is a very talented artist. I was very
impressed given the fact that I came to him with a very bad tattoo. Kevin
has a degree in art so he easily freehanded all of the repair needed and it
looked great. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. You can also
see his work in some of the tattoo magazines around.

Shop Review: Very clean shop with a great atmosphere. Sample tattoos were
displayed with easy access. Couches, pool table, and arcade games made any
wait seem short. The shop has shades and curtains if complete privacy is
needed.
Artist Review--Michael Knox: Mike does excellent work. He's very quick, but
it doesn't affect his work at all. His attention to detail astounds me,
never wanting to leave a tattoo unfinished. But more than welcome to make
as many appointments as needed to comply with the customer. He also gives
advice on size, location, colors, and care instructions.

Shop Review: Blue Flame is the best parlor I've been in (and I've been in
several). It's very clean, the staff is helpful, and the atmosphere is very
cool. Each artist has his own room, so there is lots of privacy. The vibe
in there is really good. If I don't like the vibe I get when I go to a
parlor, I won't have any ink done there. I've had two done now at Blue
Flame, and I will keep going back. It's great.
Artist Review--Ray Alexander: Ray is GREAT. He is very professional, and I
get lots of compliments on the tats he's done for me. His prices are very
reasonable (especially for Raleigh NC). He is a terrific artist and I will
definitely keep going back to him. He's been doing this for about seven
years, and he worked in a couple of cities before moving here. He has a fun
sense of humor and he's a good conversationalist when you're in the chair.
What I really like, though, is how he works with his clients to get their
chosen designs just right.
