So happy to say I have found my personal and only tattoo artist now Alex is amazing. I walked in there kind of knowing what I wanted with just no way to put it. He was very patient and really helped me through the whole process. He drew the tattoo or for me and actually made sure I loved it instead of drawing and just stamping it down like a few other places. And when he actually did the tattooing he whole time he was very gentle and nice and made sure the whole time I was comfortable (I have a pretty high pain tolerance I just look like a wuss) which even though I was is a huge things from a tattoo artist. You could tell he actually cared about his work and his clients. The best thing is after he was done that tattoo didn't puff up and just look terrible. There was barely any bleeding and the picture posted is only 2 and half days of healing. I am extremely happy with it and the entire experience. The best thing is he also appreciates other tattoo artist out there and isn't bashing every tattoo I showed him on Pinterest. But instead talked about how much work and time was put in to it. He appreciates tattoos. It's not just a job for him you could tell it was a passionate career. So don't judge a book by its cover. Just because this shop is on Boulder highway it is extremely clean, neat, and nice.
