| - My daughter unexpectedly passed away last year on her 5-month birthday. About a month later, I decided to have a memorial portrait of her done (my first tattoo) on my right calf. It is an extremely important piece and I didn't want to trust just anyone here local (in Denver) to do it. So I asked around on several tattoo forums and Robert Pho's name came up multiple times. After reviewing his online portfolio, I knew he was the guy to tackle the job and I would be in good hands. The guy is so popular, I had to book several months out in advance.
Everyone I spoke with at the shop was professional and super friendly. From Kelly & Nick, to Ant, Andy, Fernie and Robert, they were all friendly. Most of the guys stepped in on my session at one point or another and chatted it up a bit and complimented my daughter's portrait. Great group of guys there.
My session was pushed back a couple of hours because Robert went over on his previous client, but Nick gave me a call ahead of time to let me know. Robert stayed a couple of hours late after the shop closed to make sure he finished my piece. He took his time and didn't rush which I appreciated! The guys in the shop said he [Robert] has a gentle hand and I have to admit that it wasn't bad at all. For my first tattoo I was expecting much worse. The first three and a half hours weren't bad at all... that last half hour I was starting to feel it but it was still tolerable.
He did a fantastic job. It looks exactly like the image I brought in. The shading, the detail... better than I could ask for. I'll be going back next year for a forearm piece (one of me holding my daughter). I showed him the image and his eyes lit up and you could tell the genuine excitement he has for when he gets to do that piece. It's an amazing photo and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it. I can't count the number of times I've been stopped by someone to compliment me on the piece. That's awesome... it gives me a chance to tell her story to others.
You get what you pay for here. Value is up to the individual, sure, but let me tell you this... with the price of the piece, plus tip, two round trip tickets to Vegas (for me and my wife) and a stay in the hotel... all for just this one piece, it was still worth every penny and more! Robert is legit and from what I've seen of his crew... they all are! I can't wait to visit these guys again next year.
