This place is special. It's rare to go somewhere that just oozes professionalism, effort, kindness and above all- talent. It's even rarer from a tattoo shop.
I contacted Michelle from her shop's reviews online, Facebook site and also after checking out her portfolio. Her style was perfect for what I was thinking. Due to me living outside of Pittsburgh, she sent me a design that she happily modified down to the tiniest details I wanted changed. Michelle welcomed me commenting and allowing the design to be modified which is so important yet not as common in the tattoo world as you'd think.
When the day arrived, I continued to be impressed with Michelle and her shop. She was fastidious with the placement of the outline which made me feel 100% confident she was going to do an amazing job.
She has such a warm, caring and fantastic personality- it's a joy to spend time with her. While we chatted and she tattooed- she would check in every once in awhile to see how I was doing with the pain, etc.
The only the outline is finished (we're doing shading soon) but I already have gotten so many compliments and they don't even realize how amazing the experience was as well! No wonder people have bachelorette or birthday parties there!
I can't recommend Michelle enough to someone thinking about getting a tattoo. She'll make the design truly a collaboration and execute your idea onto your skin perfectly.
