Okay, I'll be the first to admint, I am not the ""normal"" type of person that would go to get a tattoo. I have wanted some ancient Greek text tattooed on my wrists for about 3 years now and I finally went to get it this past Saturday. I took in my idea and Jake drew up some alternate font for me and he did a pretty good job... He was also my tattoo artist and he did a HORRIBLE job. He had the hardest time getting them straight... He would ask me if they looked straight to me and I kept thinking ""Uhhh... You are the tattoo artist, not me!"" but then he would never give me a straight answer to what he thought. He just kept saying, ""It's your tattoo..."" So finally he got it to what seemed straight to me and I told him to just go for it. \r

I am a HUGE baby and did not watch him tattoo it, but when he was all done it was definetely NOT straight. And I know that he did not tattoo it following the ink temp. that I had said was okay to do. I don't know if he made a mistake at one point and had to alter it to cover it up, but bottom line is that he didn't do it straight. He was also extremely rude to me when I was asking questions about aftercare. Overall, I am very unhappy with my experience and for him making me feel like an idiot, just because I am not your ""typical"" tattoo type of person. Maybe the other artists are good, but DO NOT go to JAKE.
Pros: Close to my apartment
Cons: Artist Jake
