I'd never had an overwhelming desire for a tattoo, but knew if I were to get one it would have to be completely personal and full of meaning to me, something I'd be proud to have until I died.....no need to show or display it just for display's sake.
My wife passed away suddenly in May of 2019; she was the love of my life, and in November of 2020 I was suddenly inspired to have a memorial/tribute tattoo of her. She was a nurse, and like most nurses loved her work, cared beyond belief, was strong-willed and definitely a free spirit. I'd always called her a gorgeous bombshell, and we both liked WWII era pinup art.....I especially love WWII bomber plane nose art, so I decided to have the artwork created around those genres.
I found Electric Street Tattoo via an online merchant search app -- received several responses but Josh Cabrera was the only artist who showed real enthusiasm in creating what I wanted. He clearly saw my vision the same as I did, and after a bit of work on both our parts he came up with the artwork that I'd imagined. Actually, far better than I imagined.
The attached pic was taken immediately after Josh finished the work. It literally brought tears to my eyes. He'd created EXACTLY what I wanted; artwork that means the world to me and, I believe, my beloved wife. I'll be seeing Josh shortly to finish it with a bit of lettering to complete it. I absolutely love it artistically, and psychologically I find it very, very comforting having it as part of me. All of which is the result of Josh's genuine care for creating what I envisioned.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Electric Street Tattoo Co. a 50. The shop is awesomely decorated, very relaxing, and the artists are all professional, gifted and friendly.
Electric Street Tattoo is definitely the...
Read moreI'm not one to leave reviews however I felt it was necessary as I chose this company based on their reviews. My son wanted to get his first tattoo and I wanted to add to my collection. We started researching back home in Canada as we had a March break trip set up in the Florida area. At the beginning of our trip we walked into this tattoo shop so that we can book our tattoo appointments towards the end of our vacation. The staff was absolutely friendly and welcoming. It turned out that all of the tattoo artists would not be available for when we wanted our tattoos as they were all gone to a tattoo convention. So they contacted the owner and had him reach out to me. That's when I met Josh. He had reached out to one of his regulars and rescheduled a full day appointment that he had with him just to make sure he can get us done before we head back home. I must say this guy was salt of the earth. Reminded me of some of my buddies that I'd be hanging with back at home. First and foremost his tattoo shop is one of the nicest shops I've ever seen. You can tell just walking in that the decor throughout the place was done out of pure love for the business. Spending a few hours there we noticed that Josh leads with his heart first. It's not about the money with him. It was all about making sure we had the best artwork possible. We took his recommendations and away we went. I would strongly recommend Electric Street Tattoo to anyone. As a matter of fact I already have a few friends planning a trip down there to get some artwork done. This will be mine and my sons permanent tattoo shop. Just imagine.... we have to take a plane to get there. Josh thank you very much for being incredibly hospitable and professional looking forward to seeing...
Read moreSorry for the late review. But I say better late than never!!! Anyways I like to say that my experience with Electric Street Tattoo. I was in the Fort Lauderdale area for a Muay Thai summit. I wanted to get a tattoo and it was my birthday week so tattoo ”am I right!” Saw a couple places, but nothing taught my eye. The as I google search more. I found Electric Street Tattoo. They take walk ins and the specialized in traditional tattoo. Which were pluses in my book. So I reach out got a message on the phone by the owner Josh. Told him that I was in town for a couple days and I wanted a tattoo. He asked me what I wanted told him that I wanted an alligator. He said I’ll see what I can do for you. Told if he could help me out I’d be much appreciated. Not think I would get one in such a short notice. But I was less than an hour got back to me. He said he got an artist to do that tattoo and be there at a certain time. I agree and was able to get to the shop. Gotta to say love the aesthetic of the shop. Josh the owner was very nice and accommodating. Told me that Alex Muniz my artist and that he’s a very experienced artist…… made this longer than I should. Lol!! But to make a long story short Alex Muniz is amazing artist and thank you for an awesome tattoo and conversation. I will definitely recommend Alex Muniz and also Electric Street Tattoo to anyone. Will definitely get another tattoo by Alex as well. Thanks again to The Electric Street...
