This is a summary about our shop and how we operate to all our customers.

First of all we want to start out by saying that we don't think of ourselves as being "the best" nor have we every claimed to be "the best".  We try to always put out the best work we can for the best prices.  We care about our customers a great deal.  We know our shop is not in a huge city so we try to keep our prices as low as we possibly can.  Alot of our customers are college students and we know how hard it is for college students to come up with money for tattoos.  That is why our prices are so low.  We feel that alot of shops in our area do overcharge their customers.  We do not think this is right!  Tattoo artists should get paid for his/her work, but lets face it, none of us are "Paul Booth" and none of our customers are movie stars.  People around here cannot afford $300-$400 or more for a tattoo.   Also, don't take this in the wrong way, we are not saying it is ok for someone to go to a house party or go to a tattoo shop that only charges $20 for a tattoo because usually when you pay this amount for a tattoo, the quality is not that good.  People tend to find out that when they pay $20 for a tattoo that they usually have to pay to get it fixed.  That means you are paying $20 to get the tattoo and $30-$40 to get it fixed which means you will end up paying around $60-$65 for a tattoo that is only worth $40.  You would be better off going to a reputable shop to get the tattoo done to begin with instead of going out and bargain shopping.  Lets face it, these tattoos are on your body for life!  You want them to look as good as they possible can.  That is why you should go to a reputable shop that has a very good reputation,  not someone's house party or some so called tattoo shop working out of a garage someplace.  If it is not a professional shop in a good location, you should stay away.  Making our customers happy is our main priority of our shop.  If it wasn't for our customers, we wouldn't have our shop.  We try to make sure that every customer that leaves our shop is extremely happy with everything that they get from us.  That is why we do FREE lifetime touch ups.  There is not another shop around that does this.  We feel that it is our work that is out there so it is our responsibility (as long as the customer follows our care instructions) to keep your tattoo looking great all the time.  We have a total of 35 years combined experience in tattoos and piercings in our shop.  Scott himself, has won 5 first place awards over a period of the last 4 years.  He is our main artist and has been tattooing for over 18 years.  Then there is Melanie (Scotts' daughter) who apprenticed  under Scott and has 6 years experience.  Then there is Charlie (Scotts' nephew) who also apprenticed under Scott and has 5 years experience.  Lori who is the head piercing has been piercing for over 6 years.  There is literally no piercing that she can't do.  We also try our very best to keep our shop extremely clean; we are very very anal about this.  We also have a very comfortable waiting room, you can come in watch some cable, play some pool, or even have a cup of coffee while you wait; we also have a coke machine. For the first timers, don't be afraid to ask questions, our staff is here to answer any question you may have and make you feel as comfortable as possible before you receive your new tattoo or piercing.  We do not reuse our needles, they are used only once on one person then put into a bio hazard container and never seen again. Our sterilizer is right out in the open, everything is sterilized right in front of our customers, we have nothing to hide. We have been told numerous amount of times that our shop is the cleanest, most comfortable shop they have ever been in and our staff is extremely nice and made them feel at home like they were part of our family.  After all, this is a family business, so we try our best to treat you like part of our family. We hope all of our customers are very happy with everything they have received from us, if not we will do everything we can to make them happy.  Like we said before without our customers, we wouldn't have a shop, so they mean a great deal to us! 

There are alot of shops in our area, alot of these shops will talk alot of crap or start alot of bad rumors about us.   We just ask before you listen to anything bad about us, come in and check us out first and see for yourself what our shop is all about!  Make your own judgment!
