My best friend and I came here after we had a horrible experience at Salt and Light. Salt and Light was so rude and basically told us the tattoo we wanted was beneath them. But Hot Rod was so refreshing and a very positive experience. Everyone was so genuinely nice, patient and professional. It seems each artist has their own individual/private room so my friend and I were really comfortable and had a blast. We will be going back there each time she visits to get more tattoos.
