Shop Review: The shop is sanitary, I believe that it is owned and
operated by a collective of artists who wanted to work in a place they
would like to go to. Everything you mentioned on this site about
sanitation, needles, ink use, etc was followed/observed. Neighborhood
is a fairly popular (mostly recently) downtown area. They do have at
least one separate room for privacy. The environment is amazing. I
am always intimidated when I go into a shop and everyone there (
artist or customers) has at least one sleeve done, but these people
are very nice, friendly, open, non-judgemental. I always leave
feeling that I want to come back for more. Probably why every person
with a substantial amount of tattoo work that I asked 'where?',
mentioned this place - and suggested that ANY of the artists would do.
Artist Review--Drew: Drew told me that the shop opened 3 years ago and
he is one of the original owner/operators. Before that he worked at
another place in the city (not sure for how long). The most amazing
thing about Drew is his ability to make me feel comfortable. He is
very gentle too. So basically, he gets the information out of you
that is required to do a good job. (Got me to open up.) He designed
my idea without an extra charge (granted, it probably wasn't that
complicated - heart w/wings and lettering, BUT, still, it was my way
AND probably about 7 versions - yikes!) He talks nervous people
through the session.
I actually went there with someone else the first time and even then I
noticed, he treated us differently. He adjusted to my friend needing
more handling than myself. He was a different person with each of us.
That's pretty good. Highly reccommended.
