I’d recommend, great service and love my tattoo!

I came in with a very simple, straightforward design consisting of a single word. The stencil was taken directly from the reference I provided, so there was no confusion about what I wanted. Because of that, I expected the final result to closely match the design that was approved. Unfortunately, the tattoo looks nothing like the reference. The letters are different sizes, the spacing is inconsistent, and the overall lettering is uneven. For something this simple, the outcome is extremely disappointing. To be completely honest, it looks like a child did it. What frustrated me the most was the response when I raised my concerns. Instead of acknowledging the obvious issues, I was repeatedly told it was “just the angle.” At that point, I felt like my concerns were being dismissed and I was being made to question what I was clearly seeing with my own eyes. I’ve looked at the tattoo from every angle, and the problems are still there. Friends and family I’ve shown it to noticed the same issues immediately. This isn’t a temporary mistake—tattoos are permanent. This is something I have to live with for the rest of my life or spend way more money to remove. That’s why the lack of accountability was so upsetting. When someone trusts you with their body, they deserve honesty if the work doesn’t come out right. I chose this artist because of the quality of work shown on their page, which makes this experience even more surprising. I want potential clients to know that while you may see good work posted online, that was not the experience I had. A design this simple should not have been this difficult to execute, and I left feeling disappointed not only by the tattoo itself but also by how my concerns were handled afterward. *The picture with the girl in black jeans was the reference photo used and the stencil used*

D was a great dude, very much a gentle giant! He took care of me and made me feel super comfortable. He art work is very crisp and clean. He even spent 10 plus mins with me after the session to just talk about life. I’d highly recommend him.

I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE! I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to get but I knew I wanted something & Dee was very patient & helpful throughout the whole process. Dee is an amazing artist, he even went over & corrected some work that wasn’t his. The experience was great, we had good conversation, I was telling people about him while I was still in the chair lol. I definitely will be coming back & I wouldn't trust anyone else with any tattoos I want done in the future. Book with him, you won’t be disappointed.

Called him and he literally got back with me in less than 5 minutes. He was very friendly, space is clean and professional, and he knew the exact font I wanted and already had the template ready when I arrived. Great customer service!!! Definitely recommend if you want a first or new tattoo and are in the RDU area!
