I went to Tattoo-Icons Art Gallery to get my very first tattoo after hearing about them from a friend. The shop was awesome and the staff greeted me as if I was an old friend. I told them this was going to be my first time and that I had an extreme phobia of needles which they immediately reassured me that I'd be ok.
I showed them the tattoo I wanted to get which I drew myself, and told them where I wanted it. They shared with me the different areas that would cause the most pain and my selected location was one of them. They offered their advice and helped me make my choice confidently and not impulsively. They calmed my nerves by joking with me and by treating me like a regular person and not like they just wanted my money. I felt like I was actually being helped and not just taken advantage of because I had money to spend.
Tony, the artist who did my tattoo, took my novice drawing and made it just insanely better than I could have hoped for. Once we were started, I was continuously asked how I was doing which made me more comfortable and allowed me the confidence to sit longer than I thought I could.
I was going to just get this one tattoo, but I've decided to go back soon to add to it. I would definitely suggest going here over other tattoo shops because the first impression lasts the longest and mine was extremely positive. I still have a phobia of needles but I'm more than sure they'll...
Read moreMark Crouch is an amazing artist, who my wife and I were extremely pleased to work with. Mark takes his time, works diligently on his designs, and is very open to take feedback from the client to make sure the final product is exactly as it was imagined, only better! He is very patient, responsive, and does whatever it takes to make sure the final product is truly amazing. My wife and I were getting our very first tattoo and we only had a vague idea in the beginning of what we wanted. Mark worked with us to refine our design over and over as it continued to evolve, and was honest up front about what was possible and what would not work. He also considers not just what the design looks like today, but how it will stand the test of time, and made quality suggestions that made a lot of sense. He takes the time to educate his clients. When it came to the technical application of our matching designs for our forearms, his fine line work and attention to detail were outstanding. To say that he is dedicated to his craft is an understatement. It was also great to see him teaching and training while working, passing on his experience and best practices to another artist. We most certainly look forward to working with Mark again. Mark, thank you so much for making this experience memorable!!! See you soon. -Charlie & Kim Suska,...
