Description of service

The fee of $75 covered the cost of a black tattoo approximately 2 inches by 3 inches on my lower back. The tattoo was a homemade design, and the tattoo artist had to redraw this to my specifications. The fee also covers lifetime maintenance of the tattoo and any touch ups necessary. This fee did not cover a tip.


Review of Service

The tattoo artist was very professional and worked together with me on redrawing my design until we had something he was confident he could do well and that I approved of. The tattoo parlor I went to was clean, and all the artists I saw washed their hands often and wore latex gloves. All needles I saw were new and in unopened packages.


Tips

Look into different tattoo parlors and ask for recommendations from others who have gotten tattoos in the area. You will want to tour the parlor before you pay for service to make sure the facility is clean and you are comfortable with the person you will be working with. Make sure you are 100% confident about the design before you start, as you don't want a permanent tattoo that you are even slightly unhappy with. If you notice any area that does not look right to you tell the tattoo artist immediately and get it fixed right then.
