It was exactly what he had drawn on paper. This was my 1st tattoo so of course I was a bit apprehensive, but I made up my mind that it was going to be done. Sometime later, he came back with his idea of what I was saying, after a couple of changes we were off. Once Grimace got that, off he went into the back room. Explained what I was looking for, found a pic online to help with the idea, and what I wanted added to it. Grimace was the poor artist who got stuck with me. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted but I couldn't really explain it and make sense. Went in there the Monday of veteran's day weekend. My sister and I love our new tattoos and would recommend this shop to anyone. In my younger years I went to some sketchy shops but these days I will not compromise and this place met every expectation.

Very clean, very reasonable in price and extremely professional shop. My sister and I are both seasoned tattoo getters, but for newbies this is important and you should really only go to an artist who understands tattoos can and do hurt! They thoroughly cleaned the entire station and chairs after my sisters tattoo was done, then let me go for my run. Very professional and asked about our pain thresholds. Came in on Sunday and waited a few mins before my sister was in the chair. We sent an email with the photo of the font and phrase we wanted which made things easy and what they drew out for us was perfect. They could take us Sunday which worked perfectly. The front desk person was great and she tried to get us in same day but we honestly just weren't willing to wait around and preferred to make an appointment.

First, we came in on Saturday and the place was full of both appointments and walk-ins. I got a small piece done here on Sunday and although I'm definitely good on getting more ink for awhile I know I'll be back here for my next one. It's nice to have an artist who hears what you're trying to convey, and can see it thru and turn it into visual art that matches what you may have also imagined, and often times even better. I will continue coming to Vinny, knowing the beauty will last forever, and the temporary pain was and is well worth it. This tattoo was the most painful, and one of the most rewarding to get thru.I adore this artist, for letting me ramble on with my undefined ideas, turning them into unique pieces I am blown away with, and honoured to have on me permanently. After the outline is done, I am literally IN LOVE and beyond excited for the colours to be added. He creates a piece that allows the original tattoo to be the subliminal center of the new art piece. Again, not to be disappointed, and completely in love with his idea, which by the way, doesn't cover up the tattoo I was no longer loving or even happy with.

He completely gets what I'm looking for and comes up with something better than I could've imagined.I come back about a month later, needing a piece updated, covered up, just something.I tell him again, what I want not really knowing how to make it work, but completely trusting him to turn my thoughts into original artwork just for me. I walk in with one convoluted idea, and when Vinny shakes his head and tells me why it won't work he doesn't leave me disappointed. He updated it with fresh colours and a more lotus look.Flash forward to 2018/2019, and 2 days back in town after living in NY for a year, I'm back to have more ink.

I waited purposely until he returned and I could get in the chair to have him update this piece it only took 21 years, but well worth the wait. The first piece he did for me is an ohm on the back of my neck with tribal detail. I've been coming here since '96, when it was referred to as "American Graffiti".Vinny is my artist at this shop.
