Lex is the best artist at 5th estate. He improved an existing tattoo I had from a different "artist" at another establishment. The little details he put into making it better were amazing, and it meant a lot to me as it was a tribute to my beautiful daughter. He did another memory piece for me - what I loved was that he never told me what to do regarding the tattoo, but made excellent suggestions to really turn it into a art piece. He was patient, and I appreciate the extra time he took to draw up a few stencils and let me choose which I liked best. Super professional. If you're looking for work that requires a lot of shading, his is IMMACULATE. He can create a detailed, beautiful image without a single line. Regarding his line work, his precision is on point. Both times I went to him there was a two month wait, but it is SO WORTH IT, and it's worth every penny to have quality work from an exceptional artist. I'd give 10 stars of I could. That being said, if Aaron is still there, you may want to avoid. Apparently he doesn't know how to spell common words, I feel bad for my friend who has to get his tattoo reworked.
