Overconfident, Incompetent, Expensive. Unlike some other reviews on here, I really regret that Davis had answered when I had called looking for a quality job for my seventh tattoo. A friend had gotten some work from Tommy (the shop owner) and had highly recommend this place. I asked Davis if Tommy was available to do my piece, and he said that he was booked for the next two years. Ironically, I was familiar with some of Daviss previous work, and was actually considering him for a different future full back dragon piece (which will be several thousand dollars). I had already spoken with other artists about my design, and thought maybe some details would be lost and accepted that risk. And before we started, I confirmed with Davis directly that he was all good with the details. After reading the glowing reviews for Davis on here, I assumed he would be the guy to finally give me my text necklace piece, a simple $300-$400 job. Sadly the job was just to much for him. The end result was the worst possible tattoo that I could have gotten, something youd only have had a nightmare getting (which unfortunately is very real for me now). First, he applied the stencil several times, and it still ended up; off center and higher on one side. Of course I looked at it, and through all the smears of his previous attempts accepted he had finally gotten it right, but sadly I was wrong. We started at 1pm and I endured three hours of his shaky painful handiwork. I was hoping to not see his many obvious mistakes. He didnt even use the artwork as a stencil instead he free handed the interior text detail. Several of the letters have mismatched patterns and dont line up or just look very poorly done. He repeated told others in the shop while he was working on me that hed had little to no sleep the night before because he drank a Redbull energy drink or something. His outline work was shaky, and I had suspected hed been out late the previous night. The tattoo looks like a rookie artist applied it, or worse. I could tell when Davis was finished he was disappointed in his own work, it was very clear by the look on his face, he knew. Of course Davis offered to do a retouch for free. But honestly would you go back to someone who had so badly botched his previous attempt and had already inflicted 3 hours on you? And this is the part I just dont understand, I told Davis I would be going to the Tattoo Expo the following weekend and wanted to show off his work to others. I can only imagine what sorta response Ill get from Daviss peers when they see his handiwork. I was hoping to get a top quality piece that would showcase some of Daviss work, instead I am very very disappointed now that I have a tattoo from him that I will need to have removed or heavily retouched. Consider the many other options for tattoo artists in the area before going to him. I guess the good news is that he didnt ruin my entire back and now I can spend that money fixing his mistakes on my chest.

David or davis was kool when i first spoke to him but once he gets your money he just takes extra breaks and stops to speak to other clients while i paid, once my time was up obiously he took so much time he didnt finish so then he made me run to the bank to bring him more money so he can do more which wasnt even noticeable. I spent 700 on a tattoo that was not even half way done. I hated my tattoo for the last 3 years now i have to finish it but he wont give me my deposit back. So now i have to spend more money on finishing my tattoo. I cant believe he wont give me my deposit. Plus they are dirty i seen a roach at the front desk. Dont waist your money and time with these guys!
