I have been getting tattoos for the last 10 years. I have my complete back done, both thighs and hips, a three quarter sleeve on my left arm and a half sleeve that I recently got done on my right arm 2 weeks ago. Sam Staley at this shop has done ALL my tattoos since the beginning. I have followed him to 3 different tattoo shops and he seems to always have the most clients!! I always book with him ahead of time and he always makes sure the day/time is convenient for my schedule. Sam is so professional and a perfectionist!!!! I love all the work he has done on me and makes sure I always feel comfortable and respects women in making sure they are covered appropriately for people who may be walking by or sitting in the waiting area. Sam has a great personality and is a blast to get tattooed by. He has a light hand, VERY detailed as you will see his work on my arm " woman- day of the dead", and picks beautiful colors for the tattoos. What I love most is that I am not an artist by any means, but I have an image of what I would like the tattoo to look like, and Sam hits it on the head on my exact ideas AND adds to the tattoo with such artistic work that makes the tattoo look better that I ever imagined!!!! I have sent everyone I know to him and receive several comments on my tattoos on a daily basis. I was very nervous getting my first tattoo because it is a life commitment, after Sam completed my first tattoo, I never went to another artist..... I was hooked!!!! Now when I go in I tell Sam a basic idea and then tell him " do whatever you want" because I have that much trust in his work. So kudos Sam Staley, you are awesome !!!!!!
