A tattoo is a very personal thing and not a decision to be made lightly as we all know. Finally figuring out what I wanted and then finding the artist talented enough to do it are 2 huge tasks. I know for a fact that I accomplished both at Love and Hate. I had a piece done by an artist at this shop a year ago and was thrilled with the work. I am currently working on finishing my right arm sleeve with Meg, the owner. He professionalism, talent and loveability all speak for themselves. The staff is curteous and helpful. This shop is not full of elitest tattoo artists who think their crap doesn't stink like most tattoo shops. I've recommended several friends there and will continue to do so.
