Tattooed Spirit — Local services in Town of Alfred

I’m going to start with the positives first. The artist who did our tattoos was awesome and the actual tattooing only took about 5-10 minutes each.

Now the negatives. We called ahead to make sure they had availability for 4 walk ins for some small tattoos. They said they did so we went. The whole processes of getting the stencils done and getting us back to the room took a little over 2 hours. Not because they were busy but because everyone was smoking weed and took many smoke breaks. They also left the front door open so the whole front of the shop reeked and I definitely got a contact high. My cousin was tattooed first and her tattoo took maybe 15 minutes because she wanted a smaller needle and came out great. Then as the artist was 2 seconds from starting my tattoo (needle already in the ink) someone comes in and says they need the chair for a piercing change. No problem, we think it’s going to take 15-20 minutes tops. The guy doing the piercing change was in the middle of a tattoo on someone else and goes to smoke while the piercing change is waiting for him. We waited another HOUR. We were there for almost 5 hours. They also have random people that just hang out there and take over the space. We would have left after the first tattoo had we not paid for some between the break. The actual tattooing of all 4 of us was MAYBE an hour. Only reason I’d go back is because the artist was...

Brett was amazing! Me and my bf talked with him about a lot of things and the atmosphere in the shop was very welcoming. I came in with my own design and he didn’t change anything I didn’t ask for, and he hand drew the stencil over my original design. During the process he asked permission for any hand/arm placement that could’ve been awkward. Very great experience and I will be going back again! Edit: I went back and got a second tattoo with my mom, our artist (I think his name was Jeff) was phenomenal and worked with me on the design that I brought in. Explained everything in the process and kept me updated on the progress as it was a neck tattoo which can be uncomfortable. I will say if you plan on getting a tattoo here, plan for a full day as you’ll just get to talking with everyone and enjoying the vibes. Still a great experience...

First of all I love this shop, the atmosphere is great and everyone is so polite and makes you feel very comfortable. I went with a few friends to get a small tattoo, and it didn’t quite turn out how I wanted it. It seemed like a few things didn’t go quite how they were supposed to, and the owner pulled me aside, and asked me my honest opinion. He has offered to fix it or cover it up, whatever he can do to make it right. No one was rude or anything that I didn’t love it and it was handled very professionally. All of that being said, the girl who did my tattoo showed me others that she’s done and she is truly an amazing artist! I don’t blame anyone, and I’m genuinely not upset. I will still definitely be going back for other tattoos and...
