| - I guess I can't actually say that Wisemagic Tattoo is "as good as it gets" since I technically have never spent time in a tattoo parlor before. BUT, that being said, I can't really imagine a tattoo parlor being much better.
My husband has been day-dreaming about getting his first tattoo for a while, so when a friend of his recommended this place I immediately jumped on Yelp to check out the reviews. Once I saw that Yelpers were clearly giving us the thumbs-up on this place (holy five star reviews!), we decided to stop in and check them out. The place was pretty busy when we walked in (all the tattoo artists were busy buzzing away on the people in their chairs), but Mark greeted us after a moment and said he'd be with us in just a few minutes. He directed us toward the books to check out their work. My husband wasn't exactly sure of what he wanted tattooed, but knew the general idea and where he wanted it placed. Once Mark finished up, my husband gave him some of his random ideas (none of which were very great). Mark was a little hard to read, but immediately started sketching a few things out. My husband chatted with him for a little while and Mark agreed to put together a few more ideas and give us a call in the middle of the week.
My husband received his call right on schedule and stopped in to see what Mark had come up with. He had some great ideas and really seemed to understand what my man wanted (even without much of a detailed explanation). I was extra impressed that he was willing to make a copy of his sketches for my husband to bring home to show me. It also gave him some extra time to be 100% sure of what he wanted. After making his decision, he gave Mark a call and set up an appointment for the next day. Easy!
Upon strolling in to Wisemagic for the second time (of course I had to tag along so I could accurately write my review) I noticed just how clean this place is. It's actually quite impressive. Even their bathroom is clean, which is really saying something for a boy's-club type of workplace. The decor is pretty typical of what you would expect in a tattoo parlor, but I felt surprisingly comfortable there. Mark spent a few minutes updating my husband's drawing (he wanted a couple of simple changes) and invited us back to get started. I really appreciated that he didn't make me stand up front awkwardly, but told me to pull up a stool and hang out.
I was really impressed with the entire experience with Mark that afternoon. He was genuinely concerned with correct placement and wanted to make sure that my husband was really happy before beginning the actual tattoo. Mark never made us feel uncomfortable...especially considering this was my husband's first tattoo. He really warmed up to us as we hung out and was quite pleasant to chat with. The tattoo turned out really well and my husband is super excited. Mark made sure we had all the necessary care-taking instructions before leaving and we were happy with the price he charged. We weren't there all day, yet felt like Mark really took his time to make sure my husband was pleased with everything.
What a great experience for a first tattoo! We will definitely send our friends to Wisemagic...and you never know...maybe I'll get my own tattoo here someday.
