My favorite place for tattoos

Emma Yanowsky

Bobby Sunshine convinced me to go in a different direction with my tattoo, stripped my meaning from the design, and gave me a different tattoo than what we discussed, and even added colors I told him in the consult I did not want him to. I liked the outline, though it was different than what I was intending. However, when he colored it he did not add any of the detail he said would be there if we made it bigger. He styled it very differently than what I discussed with him. I was incredibly sheepish about the whole thing, and I do feel as though he took advantage of my lack of confidence being that I had a clear idea, which I don't think he liked, and there isn't even a hint of that idea in the tattoo at all. The fact of this is that my ideas were left out. The emotion that follows on my side is that he put a tattoo on my body that only represents him, and is foreign to me.I literally spent weeks crying over this and the past year dissociating from it because it is not what I would have ever chosen. He did tell me though that he thinks it looks finished and looks great... Ultimately I do not hate everything about this tattoo, but it very much is not mine. I would like to think there was an honest miscommunication, but looking at the time we spent discussing everything I can't see where this went wrong. I just would not trust this man again and will be very careful in choosing someone to restyle it in a few years.

Diego was amazing!!! He redesigned my tattoo idea and made it so much better and flowed with my body more. He was super nice and reassuring throughout the whole process. It was my first tattoo ever and all the staff said it was going to be worth it. They even gave me a piece of gum to help the pain. Diego took his time to perfectly place on the sketch and took his time to make it perfect. I highly recommend this tattoo shop. I will be going here every time

Bobby Sunshine is the man. I got my first tattoo from him several weeks ago, and it could not have been a better experience. Bobby and his colleagues take true pride in their work, and it shows. The shop itself is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend.
