I went to Bad Apple back on August 29 2009 to get my first tattoo, a swallow in black and grey on my ribs. It was recommended to me by an old friend where the majority of his tattoos came from there. Two of my girlfriends joined me that day and DJ Tambe took great care of us. He does beautiful work, doesn't have too heavy of a hand, and I was done in less than 30 minutes. The shop has a laid back atmosphere and not too expensive at all.
