My big brother got his first tattoo done by Brandon at Bloodthirsty and so when I turned 18, that is where he took me to get my first tattoo. I followed Brandon to Drastic Changes and have been coming back to him every year since (four years now). I have only seen one other tattoo artist in the past, but I honestly regret it and wish I had just stuck with Brandon.
Recently he moved to Colorado, but before he left we were starting up my half sleeve which I am SO STOKED FOR! He is the only guy I will let tattoo me from now on, so I will patiently wait until he is able to fly back out here. I'm not sure if it is difficult to tattoo dark skin, but I feel like the one time I strayed from Brandon, my tattoo ended up looking pretty heavy-handed. I can still feel my skin raised where this other guy tattooed me. I do not have this problem when Brandon tattoos me though. I know I can be prepared for something beautiful when he is finished, and it always heals very nicely.
Drastic changes is a clean and professional environment. I do not feel like I am being ripped off for what I am quoted, and I know Brandon is going to do his best every time. I'm really happy to have been introduced to this place.
