| - This place, nay, the people who run this place - are dope. After doing some research (and reading other peoples reviews) I chose to go to Old Town Ink for a consultation and to possibly get a little something done. I was greeted immediately upon entering the studio by Matt, who was working on a painting. He stopped what he was doing to talk to me and grabbed their current apprentice to help as well. From there the 3 of us discussed potential ideas and concepts for my cover up and I was kind of blown away by how attentive they both were. Their dedication to being honest with their clients while maintaining a serious level of professionalism was phenomenal. Not only were they helpful, they gave me their undivided attention and it completely superseded my expectations.
After my consultation I decided I wanted to get a little something on my finger but they wouldn't do it due to fading and the end result not looking good - so I left feeling kind of sad. I went home, thought about it a bit, then got in my car and back to the studio I went. With my design in mind but unsure of placement, size, and really any direction at all, I walked in to be greeted by Matt and Glen. After asking if anyone had time to fit me in Glen happily obliged and was so cool from the get go! I told him what I wanted but that I didn't know where and immediately he started picking different spots on my arm. We decided on the placement and got right to it....
Glen absolutely CRUSHED it. I told him exactly what I wanted and he delivered. He was quick and efficient, and SO friendly! I wasn't ready to be finished yet so we went ahead and touched up my knuckles, and after that we looked at some of the books for another piece to add to my arm. He was so patient with me, and I feel like he really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during my time at the shop. I had such a wonderful experience that I immediately booked another appointment with Glen for 2 weeks away and I've already referred all of my coworkers and friends to Old Town Ink. If you're looking for a cool shop with a great atmosphere and a lovely staff, look no further.
