I wish I could put 0 starts!!!!! The lack of professionalism and respect these two artists: Alex Otpk Wilson & Neeko “Nick” Giffin, if at this point they can still even be called that, have shown someone who not only isnt their client but someone who has had an idea for many years and got a tattoo as a gift is astounding.
The risk an artist takes by posting any piece of their work online is the chance that it may be used as inspiration by another. Not only was the lack of a disclaimer or copyright evident on their original post but now there is no way to even prove the existence of an original aside from hearsay. how can one harass another for finding a picture on the internet.

In this community that should not stand.
Turning your own clients into your weapons of harassment and cyber bullying is absolutely deplorable. How the situation of a beautiful show of friendship between a client and an artist has been now thrown in the mud and stomped under is disgusting. Not only that but demanding payment for “doing all the work” is like saying every person who has a Fibonacci spiral owes the Fibonacci family or anyone with a marvel tattoo owes Stan Lee.

Read moreJim is an amazing artist who has the ability to not only create incredible tattoo pieces, but also has the ability to take wide abstract ideas and artistically engineer said ideas into a cohesive piece. Clearly my arm has many different elements which includes ideas I presented and combined with Jim’s own artistic design - exactly what I was looking for and it came out awesome! Having received a few tattoos from Jim back in Baltimore, over the years I’ve looked to find an artist as talented as Jim but came up short, so I took a road trip to Utah - absolutely worth it. Book with Jim, I highly...
