I've been going here to get tattooed since they opened and I have never been disappointed and have always left more than pleased by not only the quality of work, the diversity of talent displayed by the artists but mostly their dedication to their craft and appreciation and respect for not only their customers but their fellow tattoo artists in the local area.
When it comes to professionalism, everyone seems to have a different opinion on what professionalism is. I think that you have to measure professionalism by the profession you relate it to. You will not get the professionalism here that you get at a doctor's office, a retail store or even a fine dining restaurant or the most upscale salon. Their professionalism is that they are a team extremely dedicated and experienced in their field and everyone I have referred to Old Tyme has been more than impressed by their level of talent.
In addition the running jokes around the shop keep you entertained and ease the tension and pain of the tattoo itself. You will get the best work whether you want the more new school style, or the old school style, vibrant colors, custom work but most importantly you will have a great time when you are there, you will laugh, you will be entertained as you bond with not only the artists but other clients getting tattooed.
Never will you experience a team of tattoo artists speak with such conviction on art, politics, economics, literature, movies, books, politics, childcare and morals in a casual manner most journalists and media sources would envy, haha.
I have many impressive tattoos, some even have won major awards at tattoo conventions and have been displayed in tattoo magazines distributed nationwide. To say I know a great tattoo artist when I see one is an under statement. I would feel safe and would consider myself extremely fortunate to sit in the chair of not only my artist John, but in Weylin's chair or Frank's chair as well. I have had my hair cut by their barber Tony on several occasions and I have never been disappointed.
I cannot promise you that they are above bad habits. I cannot promise you that the material being discussed will be "PG" rated. I can promise you that you will get a GREAT tattoo and you will have a great time, a great laugh and a GREAT experience.
I have the utmost respect for each and every artist there and I have been in other tattoo studios in the area and not one of them have ever said anything bad or negative about these guys. In the tattoo industry, THIS speaks volumes at not only the level of talent but the level of professionalism that bonds these...
Read moreI walked in for the first time back in 2018 and was greeted by Chip. This was my very first tattoo (39 years old 😝). He was very patient with me as I told him what I wanted. I was getting my first English Mastiff in a few days but after seeing a picture of him, I wanted to get a tattoo with the name I picked out for him - Hercules. I returned on the date of my appointment and the entire experience was amazing! FAST FORWARD..... Earlier this week, Chip did a memorial tattoo of my Hercules. He passed away unexpectedly on Dec 2, 2020 of chronic kidney disease and I only had 2 days with him after finding out. Chip did an amazing job and it brought me to tears seeing how real the tattoo looks. He’s very detailed and passionate about his work. I love the atmosphere in the shop and the other artists make you feel comfortable as well. I will always go back for my...
Read moreThe 1st time I came in it was a really good, I was greeted promptly and the staff was all really friendly, Weyland did my tattoo and it came out great.
The 2nd time I came up here the two guys working were playing xbox, and thats fine, Im sure they have a lot of downtime during the day, but they sat there for over 5 mins with me standing at the desk waiting to be help even though they saw me there as I walked in. I can not remember the tattoo artist name, but he did a pretty good job, there was a slight error on my tattoo but Im sure I could go in to him and he would touch it up for free.
But I will have to say just because of the customer service I got that second visit I do not believe I will be...
