| - For those that know me...I'm a clean cut guy. I don't enjoy: smokes, cut off jeans, sleeveless shirts, loud harley davidsons, or (insert your favorite tattoo related stereotype). Something really special had to happen for me to jump and get one.
The woman and I had an hour to kill before our 'appointment' with an establishment down the street. Looking to pass the the time, she suggested that we get a tattoo. (note: the previous night the woman spontaneously suggested that we head to Vegas to visit the location down the street...so the recent bursts of spontaneity was nothing new. Being ever so adventurous and loving, I have been reciprocating the these bursts with "YEAH!" and "SURE"
A quick Yelp search shows many reviews for Atomic City Tattoo & Piercing and call:
Man on the phone: "Atomic City Tattoos & Piercing"
Me: "Hi, I was wondering do you guys charge for consultations..?"
Man: "Uh...no we don't - drop on by"
Me; "Oh yeah, and what time do you guys close"
Man: "10"
Me "OK thanks, I'll be there in a few mins"
Man "OK"
Again, me being the guy I am, short answers make me feel a bit uneasy. but we pull in anyways. The parking in the rear wreaked of bodily fluids that didn't belong in the open air. Another feeling of uneasiness came about...but we continue anyways. As we entered, we were greeted by a guy, whom I learned was Alex (nick named Diamond) and welcomed us. He asked how he could help. The woman and I both decided to get the date tattooed. He said alright, not a problem and asked how we wanted it. Which is where the problem arose.
I didn't really have any set style...I was under the impression that they would "just know" like on some of these TV shows...again I am n0ob. I began to describe what I had in mind, but felt that I didn't give it justice. He pulled out a book of sample fonts and asked that i take a look at a few and maybe something will be appropriate - as I wanted something Edgy, but not in your face, but refined/classy at the same time (yeah, i know...thats alot)
After a few minutes, we both found something we liked. This is when Johnny Vegas stepped in - he drew out what it would look like and placed it on the locations that we liked. We both agreed and the tattooing began. I really didn't know what to expect with the whole experience.
I had no clue of the length of time it would take, the amount of money spent, the care, the recovery - Nothing... but when it was all said and done - the price was right and the quality was great, I couldn't ask for more - however they provided more. Despite the foul smell in the back, and the short answers, the crew at the shop made me and my woman feel welcomed.
I later found out that the guy who answered the phone was Fat Andy, and he's a good guy.
Thanks again to the crew at Atomic City for adding to the experience of that night, next time I'm in Vegas and want a tattoo - i will come back.
---Oh and if Johnny or the other guys are reading this, Thanks for witnessing our
"appointment"----
