Sorry Mom Tattoo

My husband and I stopped in to get him a tattoo. We gave free (ish) reign over what to put on him. Ryan came up with several ideas for us to pick from– all of which were awesome– and we picked our favorite. Very professional atmosphere, very clean studio. The guys were super fun to talk to and all the portfolios looked great. We love his tat and I’d definitely get inked there. Not really sure why no one has given them a 5-​star review yet because they definitely deserve it.

One Saturday afternoon in college as we waiting for our Soup and Taco order, we decided to mosey over into Sorry Mom and I decided on a whim to get my nose pierced. I spoke with the employee about what would be involved, how much it would cost and where he thought I should place the stud. He took the time to answer all my questions and was patient as I debated it, then me into the room and pierced it quickly. My piercing was never infected and I loved the placement of the stud.

My friend and I got matching foot tattoos done by Wes three years ago. He flipped the tattoos in opposite directions so that they would match but not be identical; which was clever. My son got his first tattoo done by Ryan which also turned out great. Ryan was a wonderful person for a first timer; he asked me if my tattoo was going to be my first and I laughed because I have tattoo older than he is. The only bad thing was on our return visit for a touch up; the guy that greeted us at the door said we couldn’t get out touch-​ups on a Saturday because that is when they have the most business. Well I am big on customer service and that left a bad taste in my mouth and for that reason I have not been back. For a business to thrive you must be good to all your customers that statement said to me, that he was only interested in new money and old money be damned. We have collectively gotten several tattoos since then and we went elsewhere.

Had a tattoo done on my back by Wes, haven’t had any problems, healed just fine. He also gave me my smiley piercing and I’ve now had it for 3 years without an issue. He’s also done my older sister’s lip piercing (done the same day as my smiley) and hasn’t had any problems as well as my best friends 5 lip piercings, her eyebrow, tongue, 2 nose rings, and a few others that have healed just fine. :-)

I have gotten three tattoos done here and have enjoyed my experience every time. Ryan, by far, is the best tattoo artist I have met and is able to help you come up with ideas and to really make those ideas come to life on your skin. I plan on this being my place to go for tattoos as long as Ryan is still there. They are reasonably priced, clean, and just a good time.

We walked in at about 8 or 9 p.m. after eating ice cream across the street at Lee’s Homemade Ice Cream. Call it impulse, call it an insulin-​inspired decision, but here we were, scanning the books and designs around the front section of the tattoo place.
A really friendly artist named Ryan came over to ask what we were looking for. I turned and said, «Oh, she wants my name tattooed on her finger.» After a few seconds he regained his composure and began describing the details in a very professional manner. He sat us down, and had her fill out a release form.
While we filled out the form, Ryan asked, «So how long have you been married?» I said, «Oh, we’re not married.» He looked a little surprised and then explained most people who decide to get someone else’s name tattooed on their finger end up dissolving the relationship within six months of the tattoo. He said he would still do it, but he just wanted to warn us.
He was a really nice guy and was very thorough in describing all his methods and provided great answers to our questions. He charged $ 50 for the finger tattoo, for about 30 minutes of work. Very reasonable price, very professional artist. Clean shop.
