I started looking for someone to do a tattoo that was mostly black line work some time ago. While Cleveland has a lot of talented artists, I was convinced I wouldn't find anyone I trusted with this particular kind of work.
Enter Chad from Black Metal. His work is truly beautiful and from the moment I saw it, I knew I could trust him with what I wanted. In fact, I walked in for my consult and what would have sent other artists running made him say "no problem, I'm actually booked for large pieces a few months out but that will only take an hour or so." So we were set for 6 weeks later.
The shop was clean and professional and I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. I love what Chad did with my design -- I truly could not be happier.
I would definitely check out his work if you're looking to get a tattoo --and expect to wait a while! He's totally worth it.
