| - I first stopped into Rogue as a walk-in on the first day that I moved to Lawrenceville. I was quickly and politely greeted by Kelly and Travis, and they were able to accommodate me in about an hour.
I brought in my own design, which was a simple one-color word that ended being about 1.5" x 5" on my back. Travis charged me a fair $50 (+tip), finished in about 30 minutes, and told me to come back any time if I thought it needed any touch-ups after healing (I didn't). Since I have a couple of other tattoos already, I could tell that Travis has a gentle hand and I would definitely recommend him to any first-timer who may be worried about pain!
About six months later, I let Travis design my next piece. He has a real knack for color, shading, and linework, and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful, original tattoo I'm flaunting now! (see photo of shoulder tattoo above) For a substantial design like this, with tons of color, shading, and tiny details, I was pleasantly surprised that it took just under 3 hours (including breaks) and it honestly didn't give me any serious discomfort until about 2.5 hours in, when he started going back over earlier-colored areas.
I'm super pleased with everything at Rogue and can't wait to go back for more! They also have a small art gallery, and there's a body piercer on staff, too.
