| - My first tattoo ever (yep even though I'm in my 30s...); been wanting one for a while but hadn't yet found the perfect place or come up with "the perfect design". A friend of mine and all the positive reviews really sold Iron Quill for me, and it didn't disappoint!
I used the consult form, said "please pick my artist", and was paired with Joe Anderson - I couldn't have been more amazed with his design for my idea ("cute snapping turtle"). I get so many compliments (cuteness, colors, "looks real!", etc.). And I love working with an artist who knows what he's doing, is professional, and of course nonjudgmental. I'm in my 30s getting my first ink in probably not the most classy spot.. Not a tramp-stamp butt..... you get my drift.
I was also amazed at how quickly and how well healing went, especially since the zone had to be covered with clothing. Through the session itself there wasn't a lot of pain, afterwards really no blood (just the plasma n stuff and not even much of that), not much pain at all in the aftermath, peeling around day 3-4, and I'd say it looked fully healed at 2 weeks. Superb!!
One more note is that I was quoted for a 4 hour session that ended up going more like 5.5 because Joe really takes his time to do quality work (and I'm pretty sure this is also why the healing went so well). Of course I was only charged for the 4 hours, but going above and beyond like that when he likely just wanted to get home to his family really shows Joe's dedication to his art. I highly recommend him to anyone! In fact I think I want to come back for a manatee tat... Manatat?
