This was my first visit to Black Lotus and it will not be my last. Off the bat, it is kept very clean and smells clean not like cleaning products. The atmosphere is awesome as well very relaxed and welcoming. The staff and artist are extremely friendly and nice. The best part was my tattoo of course. I was tattooed by Tyler who not only listened to what i wanted he is extremely creative.it came out beautiful and was better than i imagined.
