205 Tattoo

Charlie quit working at this shop.
now at Thoughtcrime Tattoo.

I got an Awesome portrait tattoo @ 205 tattoo. I would highly recommend Jesse! He’s great I love the portrait he did on my back. If your looking for a great portrait or any other tattoo I’d contact Jesse and make an appointment. :) He also has lots of great art work. It always a plus to me to know my artist is an actual artist… not just stenciling :)

When I finally decide to get my first Tattoo, this is where I will go! I have seen a lot of Charlie’s work. He is a great artist who enjoys his craft and it shows!

After reading the review the Frisch wrote on here I figured I should give my two cents as the only person to blame is the reviewer themselves. I understand that this moron is unhappy with the tattoo they received as it was not what they had expected, but any tattoo that is put on anyone at a licensed tattoo parlor must be okay-​ed by the customer; meaning that this brilliant individual received a tattoo that THEY deemed up to their requirements and then the staff preformed the task of tattooing the image onto their body. Charlie and his staff are lovely individuals, maybe a bit crass (it’s a tattoo parlor not a fucking daycare), whom do quality, professional work. The lesson to be learned with the review that Frisch posted is to pay close attention to the work that you get as it is going to be on your person FOREVER. If you approve it you have no one to blame but yourself if it’s crooked or not what you intended. If you are getting a tattoo in a language or with figures you do not understand, do not expect your artist to be able to decipher it for you. You are the one that ultimately decides the fate of your tattoo. Fucking dumbass!

The staff was warm, welcoming and fun however I had a really tragic experience here after being recommended by a friend. I submitted the picture i wanted which was a word in Hebrew. After he made the stencil, he placed it on me and we picked a size and a spot. Because I could only see the stencil with 2 mirrors in a reflection, everything looked fine to me. In this Hebrew word, the first and the last letter (it is 3 letters total) are the same. After the tattoo was done (beautifully I might add) i went home. A day later I looked back at the picture I had given the artist and at a picture my friend had taken of the tattoo, and realized he had laid the stencil backwards which I couldn’t tell when looking in the mirror. Literally, the middle letter in my tattoo is facing the wrong way.
The most tragic part about this (most people can’t read Hebrew, meaning stands, I’ll live) is that when I told him the GRAVE mistake that he made he didn’t offer me a refund or to help bleach it (which can be done in thirst 30 days) or fix it at all. He permanently inked something on my body backwards, which really was his fault in the first place (if he hadn’t been so busy trying to be a stand up comedian for my friends he may have been more thorough and noticed his error) and then did not even apologize for this incredible error on his part or offer to fix it or get my money back. I’m now stuck calling tattoo places (obviously not this one!) to help me fix his screw up.
Such an utter disappointment that this shop does not stand by their work, mistakes, or clients. They have my Better Business Bureau complaint to look forward to. Don’t go here… Bad news.

Awesome custom work at incredible prices. Great custom artists that know how to listen and interpret to make a great piece of work.
