After getting a tattoo I wasn't completely satisfied with from another establishment, I made an appointment with Annie from Phoenix tattoos to see if anything could be done to improve my tat.
From the moment I met Annie, she was extremely sweet and approachable. She understood my concerns and the vision I had and worked with me to the best of her ability.
Not only does Annie's talent shine through her work, she has a personality that I haven't found in any artist I've worked with before. I felt very comforted knowing she was just as concerned as I was for my tattoo to come out just how I wanted. She even thanked ME for trusting her and made sure I knew that if i had ANY concerns, not to hesitate to bring them up to her. I have to say I have never felt so at ease with any other artist before (I've had work done by 4 others before finding Annie).
The shop itself is very clean and the staff is professional. In regards to a previous review regarding Lacie and the guy working the desk, I could not disagree more. I have not met Lacie but I have seen her work online and the girls at Phoenix are INCREDIBLE. As for the guy (sorry, dont know his name), he was very nice and asked if I needed a beverage practically right when we walked in.
I will definitely return to see Annie again for any future work I have done.
Thanks again, Annie. Words cannot express just how much this new tattoo means to me (though you may have an idea because I started tearing up at the end of the session)!
Highly recommended.
PS: u have got to make appointments first and consult with the artist youre going to work with. this should be standard practice across the board. i dont understand why people would get upset about this. the conversation and rapport you build with the artist during a consultation only helps the end product and ensures you get what you want.
Pros: best in raleigh, artists have incredible talent!
Cons: nothing.
