I had run into the owner of Rogue Tattoo sort of by random chance as some friends and I were walking past the establishment. A few months later, one of said friends chose to get a tattoo and chose Rogue as the place to go. His tattoos turned out brilliantly, and he had been exceptionally pleased with the entire experience.
I had, for quite some time, been considering getting a few tattoos of my own. I had met some othe rpeople who went to Rogue, and all had great experiences. I also had a few more run-ins (I was spending quite a bit of time in Lawrenceville) with the artist Travis, and thought he seemed a rather decent fellow. So I finally took the plunge and got my first tattoo.
The experience was great. I scheduled my appointment, showed up and was seated right away. I felt entirely comfortable the entire time i was in the chair, and the artist was very professional the entire time.
Inside the shop, the decor is pretty fantastic. The artwork is, as one would expect, fairly amazing and awesome. They also have a DVD player (with a damn nice sized collection of movies) and magazines and books to read if you have to wait for your appointment/are there with someone else and waiting.
I was given very clear instructions on the care of my new tattoo, and all in all it was a great experience. I will be a repeat customer.
