This place was recommended to me by a close friend.
I've had 4 fairly large pieces and 1 small piece done by John (the owner) over the course of about a year. 3 in black and 2 in color.
With that said; here are some insights that may be helpful:
1) You can see by the examples I've attached, he takes pride in his craft. Great detail work/realism and a good knack for placing tattoos in the proper place.
2) Pricing was always fair. You get what you pay for - quality work done with quality ink in a sanitary environment.
3) John has always kept to his schedule and was always ready to start tattooing upon my arrival to his shop. Sessions for large pieces go from anywhere between 3-4 hours.
4) his shop is clean and his tattoo area is organized. He always sanitizes the area you are getting tattooed before, during, and after the tattoo.
5) John has a great personality - we got a long great from the get go. He's super easy to talk to.
6) His shop is consistently booked so be patient getting a time slot booked. That was the first thing that shocked me - how far out he is usually booked; sometimes months. It's worth the wait though!
In conclusion, I definitely recommend going here if you're looking for a tattoo artist in the Butler area. Service: Tattoos ~Alan
