I went in with a design that required absolute precision with black line-work. Id spent a lot of time looking through portfolios of artists from Atlanta to Asheville. Id heard about Jesse and David through friends and studied their work online. When I went in to consult I met David. He took a few moments with the image and we talked about the skin surface I wanted it on, I have some tiny scars and didnt want them to impact the line of the design. David was honest and open with me. He noted that this would be a challenging piece, but that he was confident in his ability to do it well. The process was simple, my only real discomfort was from craning my neck trying to watch him work. The healing process was a breeze, and there wasnt a single spot that felt like it had gone deeper than it needed to. Im looking forward to going back to check out the original art and have touch-up done to several older tattoos. The shop is clean, professional and the artists are gifted. Sanitary and safety precautions are in place and obvious and I left well educated about the best aftercare for my new art.

Ok, it would not let me give them a ZERO, so I had to click 1 star. I went to the shop on Saturday, about 3 oclock and they said there was a waiting list (about an hour or 2) and for me to put my name on the list and they would call when it was my turn, I said ok and put my name on the list and explained to them tje tattoo i wanted and that I was staying at the hotel right across the street. Well, here it is MONDAY and they still have not called me! VERY RUDE PEOPLE!! If they didnt wanna do the tattoo (which was a memorial piece) all they had to do was say "hey we dont wanna do that" not keep me waiting around all day for them to call. NEVER EVER WILL I GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!!!

Gina and Jesse Phillips have a wonderful practice! I highly recommend them not only for their work, but equally, if not more importantly for this ink novice, their kindness, patience, and information. Their personal approach, as well as the stunning examples of their art, were persuasive in transforming me from just looking to having my friends personal design become a lifetime reminder that when the time is right, act! I cant speak highly enough of Mine Shaft, and, over the remainder of my weekend stay in Helen, sang their praises to locals and visitors, alike.

After seeing the work he did on a friend, I went to David at Mine Shaft for my most recent tattoo in February of this year (2017). Ive got 14 tattoos but he has done the best work of any artist that I have ever used. The tattoo that I had done was a line that my daddy had written in a letter to me before he passed. The hand writing is an exact match. Its located on my collar bone so I was prepared for it to painful but it wasnt at all. Im not exaggerating, there was no pain. I will only use David at Mine Shaft from here on out!

Im a bit of a hot mess and came in with a very loose idea of what I wanted but no real plan I just knew that I wanted to cover up a small tattoo I had gotten a long time ago that I wasnt fond of. David was awesome at not only helping me come up with a plan, but he gave me an absolutely BEAUTIFUL tattoo that Im proud to wear and I still get complements on it any time I go out!! Hes amazingly talented and I would recommend him to anyone!!

David is awesome! He started my 1st ever tattoo in August 2016. I described what I had in mind and he went with it. I love my tattoo. Ive had sooo many nice complements on it. I cant see myself going anywhere else. I travel from NC to GA every month to see my family. So every time Id come to visit we would add to it. Looking forward to the next one I get! (The pic was right after we finished up.)

Mine Shaft Tattoo is the only place i will go for my tattoos. David is my artist and he is amazing at what he does. You can tell from speaking, and watching him that art is more than just a job, its a passion. David has finished my half sleeve and it turned out beautifully. I couldnt be more satisfied with the work. Excellent work, for decent price. I highly recommend visiting these guys!

Visited yesterday with two of my friends and got my first tattoo! I am over the moon in live with it. David did an amazing job dealing with the three of us and his art was simply fabulous. Made my first experience superb! Will definately be getting my next tattoo here.

Top notch tattoo artists. Sat for many sessions here and have many more to go. Very happy with all my work. I get many compliments and "who did you work? Thats awesome" comments. Some of the best around. You will not be disappointed.

These guys (and gal) are best group of people you could possibly get a tattoo from. Not only are they great at what they do, they make you feel comfortable and at home in their shop. Im glad I found them.

The guys at the shop are easy going and are experts at what they do. Ive gotten a couple tattoos elsewhere and I wont be going to any other place for more.
