This guy is completely irresponsible and extremely unprofessional. Lost his last shop which was on Cleveland heights due to non payment and hostility with the building owner. Called to get a tattoo and was cursed and call a lot of prophanity and racist remarks. He is well known in Lakeland for being disliked for his attitude and his lack of work. He also has an EXTREMELY slow hand when tattooing to purposely make a piece that would have originally only been 1hrs an a half and stretch it into a 3hrs session "100$" an hr that is his hustle and Im pretty sure a lot of his past customers would agree. He always has a creepy reputation with female customers whove all felt uncomfortable whenever being tattoo by James. He would lock the door if only him and a female client and make them feel very uncomfortable with sex jokes and such. He is know in the tattoo community for his actions. Go to any shop and lakeland and ask them about James Hicks at vendetta tatttoos and look at their facial expressions. He is also a drug user. This guy is a complete disgrace to the entire tattoo community.

The Vendetta is the real deal. James is my one and only tattoo guy in Florida. As an art museum curator, I wouldnt trust just anyone with skin work. I originally chose James because he is a professional artist in and outside the tattoo studio. His large scale street murals have earned him a reputation on the FL scene. If you want quality tattoo work, seek someone who is an artist first and an experienced tattooist second. If youre in central Florida and want quality work from an artist worth his salt, go to Vendetta and talk to James. Trust me.

I had heard for a very long time about the quality of James artistry. I knew for a fact that I wanted him to do my tattoo. We talked about the concept of my design and he wanted to fully understand sextants before he started drawing. I really appreciate the time he took to fully understand and draw out the artwork before he began the actual tattoo. James is not some tattoo hack, but a true artist in every sense of the word. I will definitely use James again for my 2nd tattoo.

James is an incredible artist. If you want an original tattoo, he designs it freehand on you in sharpie first so you can see how it would look on you. He really works to make sure that the tattoo is right for the client, and he is honest. If he thinks an idea for a tattoo can be made better, hell work with you to develop the idea into something youll really be proud of.

Just talked with James and hopefully he will be able to help me with my mistake of a tattoo on my wrist and cover it with something much better. He was so kind and gave me hope to tattoo something over this ugly Alabama "prison" mess. Never get a tattoo in Alabama

Excellent service! Really takes the time to put together ideas. Great with detail! I had him put an Indian on my arm with an amazing background, the Indian looks so realistic, its absolutely gorgeous. Wouldnt go anywhere else for a tattoo!

I havent been here yet but I did call for a consultation and the guy was so great. He was so nice and understood how I felt about the quality of my tattoo thats not very great. Thanks! Cant wait to hear from you again

Best tattoo artist in all of Florida for sure. His work is impeccable and I would suggest him to anyone who is serious about their tattoos.
