I looked through the portfolios of several artists in town and immediately zoomed in on Bob Simmons' work. He offered everything I was searching for: strong, steady lines, good saturation of colors, and everything he tattooed was in proportion and resembled what it should. So I booked with him and got a beautiful tattoo done and just as important, I felt that he cared that I understood the process of tattooing as well as how to care for my tattoo. I also really appreciated his dedication to cleanliness and sanitation.This is an artist who is committed to the craft, which in turn makes me value the art that he created for me. Well, two weeks later I came in for my second tattoo and to add some goodies to the first. I'm hooked on tattoos now, and it's all Bob's fault. My mom doesn't love him, but I sure do, haha. Highly recommended for solid, quality work and genuine artistry.
