Dont go here! Myself and a few others set up appointments with Joe based on photos he showed us of past work.
The work he did for us was no where near the quality shown in his albums, and within 3 months the ink had begun to fade, there were various places where he had made dotted lines (when the lines were supposed to be smooth), and several places where the line was crooked. My friends all had similar issues.
It should also be noted that his tattoo gun has exposed electric wires on the back, and depending on how he's holding it, you get shocked, and in my case, had mild electric burns INSIDE the upper part of the tattoo.
When I went back to him to get him to do the free touch up he offered, he refused, insisting that my tattoo was faded because Id been in the sun.
I had the tattoo done in October, and it had not been exposed to sun all winter. Next he said it was my fault because I didnt use A&D (I used tattoo goo which was what he had recommended in the first place). After showing him where he had burned me and the blisters had left grey scars in the tattoo, he threatened to call the police if I didnt leave his shop.
At this point Im looking in to either using wrecking balm to lighten it and get it covered, or paying more to a better artist to fix it
