Humble Heart Tattoo - Fine Body Art — Local services in Town of Mendon

For my first tattoo I was getting a tribute to my late kitten. It was a very meaningful tattoo and it took a few weeks of research going through reviews to find a shop to trust for this piece. They were able to scheduled me within a timely manner. Darrell was the artist that I worked with, I sent him references of what I was looking for as well of my kitten. He worked with me to find a good middle ground of the simplistic yet semi-realistic design I wanted while not losing any of the details. The design he created was just what I wanted and captured baby perfectly. The whole process was great, I was nervous because I was a first timer but he made me feel comfortable throughout the whole tattoo. Keeping me distracted with good conversation and making sure I didn’t need anything. He educated me and confirmed each step of the way. I had 100% trust in him, you can tell he is passionate about the art of tattooing. The shop itself was clean and comfortable, I felt welcomed from the very beginning. Darrell made this experience wonderful and gave me such a beautiful piece of art that holds the soul of my kitten. I am so grateful! Definitely recommend Markus Tattoo and...

Seth Markus, of Markus tattoo, is a true master of his craft.

Not only is Seth a remarkable artist, with a demonstrably high level of skill in a wide range of styles, he's incredibly easy to work with. During the planning/concept phase, he consistently went well beyond the basic outlines and concept sketches one expects at each check-in. He was unfailingly positive in response to criticism and adjustments, and he clearly loves working with his clients.

What's most impressive is his phenomenal skill in application. I had a large black and gray add-on done this week, which contained a lot of fine detail and heavy black shading. Seth finished notably quicker than I was expecting, the final result was incredibly precise, and I had zero swelling or soreness afterward, which is truly impressive for such a dark piece. As always, the area is a little sensitive to heat and friction, but I've never had a tattoo feel so good so soon after application. After this wonderful experience, I may find it difficult to want to work with any other artist for my...

I got my first tattoo here and it was definitely worth it! I wanted to get a small simple design and Darrell was awesome! I came to him with the design I was thinking of and he listened to the changes I wanted to make and designed something I absolutely love! When he had input on doing something different he made sure to give reasons and point out how the changes would improve the design.

The actual process was rather quick, but Darrell made sure to explain everything he was doing which made me much more relaxed. He kept conversation flowing so it was easy to forget he washing pushing ink into my skin with a needle :) The shop was clean and well kept, and you can tell the artists care about the environment they tattoo in.

I would definitely go back for when I eventually want another tattoo and I would highly recommend...
