I just received a tattoo from Chris yesterday evening, and I'd say that it was a good experience overall (as good as getting a needle with ink drilled into your body can be, that is!).  \n\nThe shop is BEAUTIFUL- super clean, nice, comfortable. Although I initially stopped by without an appointment, one thing that I really appreciated was that I was immediately acknowledged as soon as I walked in the door.  This is something that doesn't always happen at tattoo shops, so it meant a lot to me.  I was actually coming to see if I could meet with Serene, but she was out to lunch, so I browsed through the other artists' books while I waited. It turned out that Serene is fully booked for several months, but since the first piece I wanted was relatively small and straightforward, she walked me down to Chris.\n\nOne other thing that was great about this shop is that each of the artists have individual rooms--with DOORS!! So, if you're getting a tattoo in a sensitive area, or just don't want every passer-by to see what you're doing, you can have some privacy.\n\nChris was very nice, and able to schedule me for the next afternoon.  He sent me a text asking if we could push back the appointment a couple of hours. The OCD side of me flinched, but it ended up being fine.  He was running a bit behind, but was able to start drawing my piece and get going without too long of a delay after I arrived.  We went through a couple of drafts, and sizes, and he was super patient with me and not at all bothered when I wanted something changed. I really felt like he wanted me to be pleased with the finished product- especially since it is permanent!\n\nI still will be back for my bigger piece with Serene, but I'm pretty sure I'll be back to get another piece from Chris! (and they take credit cards!). I felt that pricing was very fair- not overpriced like some shops can be.
