My girlfriend recommended Downtown Tattoo to me. She had gotten a tattoo there a week before I had. She got a tattoo from Ross. She really liked his work. When I walked in I didn't know who I was getting, but I ended up getting Ross as well. I went in there thinking I was going to get an elvish lettering tattoo (Elvish is from Lord of the Rings) When I showed Ross what I had, he copied it, drew it up and showed me. Then was honest with me and told me that what I had wasn't elvish. I was a little shocked that he told me. And that was nice enough to research it. I know some tattoo artists that will put on you what you give them, and let you walk around looking like a dip shit. We ended up doing something different, but I love it. And it was relatively painless. He did great. I would recommend him to anyone. And I would also like to add that my brother in law went in with me to get a memory tattoo for his dog. I don't know the guys name, but he was sitting at the back station. The paw print this guy did on my brother in laws tattoo was freaking amazing. These guys are down to earth, and they have a great shop dynamic.
