Nik is working on my 2nd tattoo currently and the 1st session went very well. So far it looks amazing and couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out. Looking forward to scheduling the 2nd session to finish it up the upper sleeve. Edit Got the 2nd session scheduled a while ago but was hesitant about updating my review since then.
Nik worked again on my design in 2021, but I wasn’t as impressed with this second session as I was with the first. Not sure if the detail was too fine for him to capture or if what I was looking for wasn’t possible to do. I don’t have many tattoos, so maybe I was expecting too much. Nik said a 3rd session would be needed and he’d do the finishing touch ups for free.
Once my arm healed up I reached out to get on the schedule to finish it up. At first wasn’t a problem getting ahold of him, but eventually he stopped responding and I found another artist to finish my tattoo at an added cost of course, which is fine, since I’m happy with how it turned out after a not so good second session.
In the end I should have stopped at the first session since I was super impressed with the work. Nik has a real talent for shading, realism and made the work in the first session really stand out with the detail.
The work the second artist put in was a good compliment to the main work Nik started. And overall I am very happy with the end result. I wishEd more people asked me about it so I could show it off more since it’s partially visible.
I think I just need a bit more collaboration with the artist on...
Read moreNik is amazing. Seriously top notch guy and artist. I’m so glad I allowed him to do my big piece. First, just want to say he’s probably the nicest, most professional, experienced, and respectful tattoo artist I’ve ever met. Decades of experience. Not to mention his work speaks for itself. He drew my piece himself and placed it right the very first time. We busted it out in about 7 hours strait. I started to get a little burnt out towards the end but he figured out a way to distract me and he went as fast as he could while also doing the job right. His detail work is seriously amazing. I will definitely recommend him and this shop over and over and be back for more pieces later. My husband will be coming in also for some large pieces. 5 star service for sure....
Read moreVery appropriately named tattoo and piercing shop! This year, I went in for the Friday the 13th special and got my first tattoo in the last decade. Roach was AMAZING! He had been up since the day before, working until 3 a.m. trying to get everyone a tattoo who wanted one; you couldn’t tell! I told him I wanted “purple for the mountains and blue for the twinkles,” and this artist blew my mind! I thought he would quickly do the line work for the mountains in purple because of the special event’s nature, but Roach went above and beyond! I didn’t even realize how much detail he put into coloring the mountains until it had a couple of days to heal. To top it all off, he kept me entertained by telling me anything I wanted to know about the Flash; he’s one hell of a...
