Don’t work with Slurm.

My first tattoo at this shop with another artist was great, so I decided to come back for my second. This time, I scheduled with Slurm. I drove an hour for a 6:00 PM appointment, arriving at 5:45 PM. Slurm didn’t come out to greet me until 6:15 PM. He then went to work on the design and didn’t return until 6:45 PM. The design looked nothing like the reference photos I had sent, so I had to ask him to revise it—twice. I had made it clear I wanted the design to match the references exactly.

He finally brought me to his booth at 7:00 PM. After placing the stencil on my arm, he looked at the clock and said he had “another appointment at 8:00 PM,” so he wouldn’t be able to do my tattoo. I asked how long it would take, and he said “probably 2.5 hours.”

Slurm knew what design I wanted, knew how long it would take, and still scheduled me for 6:00 PM—leaving no possible way to finish before 8:00 PM, even if he had started on time (which he didn’t). I ended up driving an hour back home with no tattoo, four hours of my time wasted, and a stencil stain that didn’t come off for three days.

I even tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and rescheduled like he asked, but he has since stopped responding to...

The best tattoo shop in Toledo. Every artist there I’ve interacted with have been pleasant and very welcoming. Over the past year I’ve had all my sessions done with an artist named Slurm. The outcomes have always been over the top amazing work and also an amazing experience. I’m honored to have numerous pieces from his tattoo flash inked on me. The guy is truly a master of his craft. I’ve definitely found my tattoo...

Incredible expierence, best tattoo I have ever had. My artist made time for me and my friend to get in early to get our pieces down.. he listened and created incredible work! Very professional, clean, nice, incredible affordable prices, very safe during this covid problem.. they took every precaution! Anytime I want a tattoo done from here on out, this will be the only shop I will go to! Thank you...
