Our son turned 18 and wanted his first tattoo. He is a baseball pitcher and lives to throw. For years he has thought about what he wanted for his tattoo. We interviewed a few tattoo artists at other shops and we just didn't feel a connection with their personality or their art.
Kong was recommended by a friend and we reached out to him by text. He responded immediately, with class and excitement. We had a good dialogue I made an appointment to consult with him. The moment we walked into the shop we were greeted with a warm smile and handshake. He sat down with us and listened to us. What we liked most about him is that he gave us his suggestions on how to customize the tattoo to make it even better. His suggestions were right on point! I knew this was a sign of a true experienced professional that really cared. He immediately set to work on the drawing. It took about an hour and when it was done, it was beyond our expectations. He added touches that made our hearts soar! It was perfect and we went forward. We felt very comfortable with him in everything that he did. The shop is clean, and every precaution was taken to make sure everything was sanitized properly and that we felt comfortable.
He verbally prepared her son for the tattoo and was very clear about the process and if our son needed to take breaks and so forth. We were allowed to sit with our son the entire time. A tattoo on the chest is not easy, but Kong helped our son get through it with distraction and laughter.
This most detailed, incredible tattoo only took about two hours and was beyond our expectations as a family. None of us could stop smiling. The work is amazing and we will never go to anyone else for a tattoo.
We highly recommend Kong! He can do every kind of tattoo and he cares so much about his clients and his work! Thank you Kong from the bottom of our hearts for designing a piece of art that will live with our son forever!
