Review content:
i first went to see the folks at Tigerlily in 2005... I went and described my idea and they all agreed that Mod was the man for the job. I made an appointment to meet him, and was certain that he was the one who could bring my vision to life. I had several components of the tattoo that I wanted incorporated, and although the task seemed daunting, Mod took it all in stride. He assured me, ""No problem,"" and I left feeling very happy. Mod drew up a rad design for me, and then I flaked. Life got hard, I had no money, no time, and no way to get my tattoo done. By the time I went back to see Mod in mid-2006, he'd thrown the design out, thinking that I was never coming back in. When I re-appeared on his doorstep, so to speak, he was anything but rude. Kind, understanding, gracious, and enthusiastic about starting the project again, he offered to draw up a new plan for the elaborate tattoo I wanted. We varied the design quite a bit from the original complicated idea, and although I supplied Mod with ideas and pictures of elements I wanted, he formed a beautiful, cohesive design that was better than the first! Needless to say, I am pleased beyond words with the final product. I was so happy to get the tattoo completed (after 5 or 6 sittings), but sad that my ""Friday Tattoo Dates,"" with Mod came to a close. I'm already planning to incorporate some additional items (and cover up the 10 year old Kanji) with more of Mod's art. The guys upstairs at Tigerlily were always friendly, informative, kind, entertaining, and damn talented to boot. I was frequently nosy about tattoos, how they became artists, history, and the like, and they all answered with authority, humor, and well-founded knowledge. \r

Matthew, Mod & Matt Reed are a class act and you'd be a fool to go anywhere but Tigerlily for your custom work. These guys are true artists, and the art Mod created for me is beyond my wildest expectation.
Pros: talent, humor, professionalism
Cons: none!
