This is an update to my original post.
So my partner and I went back to this shop to get tattoos for Valentine's Day. We were extremely excited and loved our designs - he got a tattoo of my lips and I got a tattoo of a stormtrooper in a heart.
Our artist seemed really enthusiastic about the pieces and the artwork he did was amazing. Overall, it was a pretty decent experience.
A word of warning: if you, a tattoo artist, are upset about a decision your patron makes, do not post it on social media. Because your patron will find it and decide never to visit your establishment again. I was upset to see my artist call out a decision I made about my tattoo on his social networking sites, and because of that I have no intentions of returning here again.
