Beautiful interior. Friendly staff that made me feel safe and welcome.
Meg was so pretty cool. Talked us through, made sure we were happy with our piercing, was very nice
Expect to do a lot of sitting around and waiting while the "artists" bask in their own self importance. If your lucky you might even get a lecture about, "not rushing art" while the owner angrily issues you a refund. Take your money to Got Ink. They have better prices and the staff will treat you like an actual customer.
I went to ivory tower two separate times, and each time the staff was extremely rude. The first time I went in with a sketch that I had drawn up MYSELF. The man (never told me his name) said that he could do my tattoo in two weeks, I asked if he needed to keep my sketch and he said no that he could find it ONLINE. I did not get my tattoo done here I went somewhere else, paid a fraction of the price, and Ive received more compliments on it than I can count. But yesterday I decided to stop by again, big mistake. I walked it and stood at the counter for 5 minutes while two employees sat and stared at me while having a conversation never acknowledging that I was in the shop. I asked if it was possible to make an appointment for a tattoo but she didn't answer my question (never said yes or no were booked and tried to find an open date) she just told me that there were other shops. Why they are so rude to someone who is potentially going to shell out hundreds of dollars? I don't know but I do know that I will never be going here again.
Got my first tattoo here and had a great experience. It was a memorial piece for my wife who passed away from breast cancer. Was welcomed and treated like family from the time I walked in the door. No issues at all with the care of the tattoo. Ross is a great guy and I recommend him and will be back!! Thanks my friend!
Every piece of work that I had done there STILL looks great after many years. I read comments on the staff.but.I go to places for the quality of work. Who knows what may have been going on for that staff member that day. Many clients of theirs already have scheduled appointments, so, you may not have been the only one in the shop. The owner, Ross, is a great guy. He is quiet, but he is an amazing artist. I would rather get a quality tattoo vs having my ass kissed in order to get my business for what would probably be a sub-par job.
