I just wanted to write a deservedly glowing review...

I just wanted to write a deservedly glowing review for this particular tattoo parlour (and barber shop, coffee and hangout spot, etc...). I've been here three times myself, so my accolades are long overdue, but I've received three tatts here, each time working with the insanely talented Julieta..I'll try and post a pic of my most recent, but each and every visit, she has gone above and beyond to work WITH me, explain what her particular style entails, and just overall make me feel comfortable and make sure I am happy with the work (before, during,and after). For those wondering, her specialty is in the Neotraditional school, but my 2nd tattoo with her was a intricate, lacey Victorian-style butterfly, which also came out amazingly and healed to perfection.

My husband has also gotten a tattoo from her, which he loves, and one from Iain, who specializes in traditional, Sailor Jerry-style work - and I can objectively say that it is the most skillful and proficient ink he has received (and he has a lot of tatts, though we wish we had been in Ireland and found this place before we received most of our prior work! These guys put everything else we both have to shame!)

I'll close, but one final note I'd like to add that I feel is important is that everyone we've dealt with at this shop, from the artists to reception, are super friendly. There is no attitude, pretension, or (and I'm saying this as a female whose gotten ink at a variety of places in my foolish youth) 'boy's club' attitude here. Everyone is accepted and accepting, and will do their utmost to make you feel welcome.

Thanks so much to the gang at The Ink Factory and hope to see you in the new year once I'm able to afford a new tattoo (btw, I don't say that to criticize the prices here - they are fair, and you more than get what you pay for - beautiful body art that you will cherish for a lifetime).
