Tattoo shops in Clinton

“This place is awesome. Came in for a consult on getting a basic memorial for my dog before our wedding. Planned to do a pretty basic outline. But what I left with brought me to tears (in a good way). I had an awesome Staffy/Lab mix, with the funniest Yoda ears. I had reference photos, but not exactly one I wanted. After talking to a couple of gentlemen in the shop about what I wanted and my budget, they figured out an artist they felt would be right for the style I wanted. And boy were they right. I was able to email over those photos while in the shop. And I met with Artist Kara. We set the appointment for a couple of days later. When I went to the appointment, she was super nice, all of the staff seemed to help each other out and seemed to actually like each other. Artist Kara showed me her ideas with 3 different sketches. We worked together and came up with exactly what I wanted. Then she had the patience when I decided that I wanted to add a scarf to the sketch. She was able to accommodate and resketch on the spot. While she was creating the stencil,, I saw her artwork and how well she colored. I had no intention of getting color done, but her drawings looked nice. I talked to her about colors and she was able to change the whole concept and add colors... and didn't make me feel bad of difficult for changing my mind. During the tattoo, she was good conversation, she was a great listener when I spoke on forever about my dog. She wasn't heavy handed at all and had amazing line work. What I really love is that all during the process, the other artists really seemed to get along and talk to each other when they didn't have clients. (I've been to tattoo shops were artists competed with each other, didn't like each other, or just had a bad vibe with one another or didn't pay attention to their clients. It's always awkward to watch other people getting tattoos done trying to have conversation, while their tattooer seemed annoyed. So this was super refreshing) Let's see, what else. The shop was very clean and decorated for the upcoming holiday. And they offered water or soda... which is a very nice and appreciated touch. I'm sure I'll remember more to add later. Or when I get another one done”
