This was my very first tattoo ever. Myself and a couple friends were having fun one night and it was decided that 2 of us were going to get our first ink.
We walked into No Regrets. I had already had an idea of what I wanted. I think the most awesome thing about this place is the fact that these guys are artists - I conveyed my concept to Eric and he came out 15 minutes later with exactly what I was hoping for.
The setting of the place is just my cup of tea. Very punk/metal - weird little stuff all over the place. Music blaring. Just awesome.
Having quite a few friends with a lot of art, I had an idea of what a tattoo parlor should and shouldnt look like, and how the artists should behave. This house is clean.
The funny thing on this one is this was a total walk in. I know normally you are supposed to make an appointment, but I think had we not done the tattoos then, we probably were not going to get them done. Luckily, these guys were not busy and were very accommodating.
I know have my first piece of art and am totally hooked. Im going to come back in a couple weeks to get some of the color touched up, since I had a little bit of bleeding going on. And Im already looking for my next piece to get done, and will have Eric do that one, too. He did great work and I love it.
