Mark is the absolute best! I am 37 years old, had a very uncomfortable tattoo done in the late 90’s in Festus MO. I swore after that pain and torment, I would never get one again. My sister talked to me into getting matching tattoos of our deceased grandmothers handwriting on our sides (ouch right) so I went on a hunt for someone with excellent hands that could execute this perfectly. Mark came highly recommended, so I spent a couple hours looking through his work online. I chose him, called him. He was very friendly, and took us on the date we needed. My sister and I showed up early to the shop and guess what, so did Mark! (That’s an excellent owner) His shop was clean and smelled good, not like others I have walked into with other people. Most of the time, they smell of incense (aka pot) look dirty, the people are rushing you. Not Mark, or his shop. You could tell he takes his business very seriously and he is the best at what he does. My sister and I got our tattoos done and not only was he very meticulous but it was actually pain free (that is not a disclaimer saying your tattoo won’t hurt) to us, though, his hands were light and he made sure we were comfortable. He talked with us a bit and you could tell he wasn’t some guy just trying to rush through and get it done quick to make money. You could tell he takes pride in his work. He runs a shop that should be recognized for excellent work, customer service and great pricing! Now that I have been to him, I have decided to get my “regret” tattoo covered on my ankle… by him of course. What a wonderful experience we had and from here on out, he will be highly recommended by me to others. Thank you Mark for your art, professionalism and people skills. Tattoo artist like you seem to be hard to come by now days. You should be proud of what you created and we thank you for being the one to put our trust into and taking care of us!
