There was a day when tattoo artists were helpful , with artists that say things like,, sure no problem ,,come on back ,, I have recently come to the conclusion those days have long since past.. with popularity comes a proverbial pedestal some like to frequent So I walk into the shop at 6:30 in the evening . Three artists and what I would assume was a piercer not sure on that but 4 people total , "standing dead doing nothing " , mind u I just came from a shop who didnt even acknowledge I was there because they were busy WORKING, so in my mind this was my place So in staying true with there website they started off friendly and treating me like family , maybe in-laws that think you stupid and want you out of their hair Ok so they ask me what they can do for me , I let them know I have a small piece on the side of my hand that needs to b gone over , well one says where did u get it done like that matters , and tells me to go back to them,, haha ok strike one , then he asks me questions about warranty on it and other things that I fully understand .. my god Im 34 and have been to several parlors , so all and all this guys no help at all , On to the next guy , he just blurts out "I dont do hands" yea and I dont tattoo thats y the sign on YOUR shop says TATTOO ,,, He must have been the forearm only guy haha , so sreeerike 2 ,, then this friendly girl says let me take a look at it ,,prob out of pity,, and proceeds to tell me it will never take ,,,, well I have many friends with hand tats in the same spot and after a few passes they all look good ,,, but anyway I dont say that , I just say well I understand everything and want it gone over none the less , so she says well if I have any tubes clean Ill do it ,, knowing full well she didnt , gets up , looks , BIG SHOCKER no clean tubes , ,, so she tells me itll take an Hr. To clean them and even though my tat would only take 10 minutes she needed to leave on time ,, and asks whats my schedule tomorrow haha yea , its daylight and Im here now and I am the only client in the shop So the big picture is Im in a tattoo parlor wanting a TATTOO ,this girl doesnt have the equipment to do it , , the two other guys are no help at all ,,, professional went out the window with this place ,,,, Now I deal cards at a casino and love my job and want everyone playing at my table to have a fun and entertaining stay ,, and when I start acting like these people at mothers ,,,,,, I believe it will be time to hang it up ,,,, Maybe I caught them on a bad day but I wont be back and Im sure thats just fine with them

Went here to get 3 helix piercings. Dont remember exactly how much I paid, but it was a lot. A year later, my ear is still hurting and my middle piercing looked infected, so I called to get them changed, thinking a hoop would help the infection drain. I was sent to another tattoo parlor to get them taken out, since the piercer is currently out, and was absolutely astonished at what I learned from a more experienced piercer... The reason that my middle piercing was not healing and looked infected was because of 2 mistakes the piercer at Mothers did. 1) she put in curved bars. Apparently, helix piercings should be pierced originally straight. But 2) and more importantly, the piercer pierced my helix at a downward angle, causing the earring to constantly rub and to not heal. If I kept the earring in, it would never be able to heal. Now, I have a huge abcess on both the front and back of that particular hole and a smaller one on another piercing that was also pierced at an angle with a curved bar. Not only do I have abcesses, but I had to take that piercing out, let it completely heal and close up, then get it re-done if I want a piercing in that spot. It will also probably grow back as scar tissue, which will create different issues if I choose to get it re-pierced. While I originally thought this place was a good place to get piercings done because the piercer was really cool and gave me a slight discount for doing 3 at one time, I now have to do what I was originally trying to avoid: wait for a piercing/hole to heal for months before I can get another piercing. I wanted 3 helix piercings, not 1 or 2. I give them 2/5 stars, because 1 of my piercings was done correctly and not at an angle, 1 piercing was done at an angle but is not as bad and can heal, but 1 piercing now has to get redone, which means wait time and more money. 4/10 would not recommend for piercings.

i wanted to get a memorial tattoo for my father in the form of a father dragon and his son as my first tattoo. I went with the professional opinion of my artist Jason as ive seen his work and hes known to be very good... but after seeing the sketch for the art and then allowing him to put it on my arm I realized I made a mistake. the art is generic and doesnt look very good. I dont think Jason put much time or effort into the art and making me happy as ive seen his ability and hes much better than this. I feel as if a 10 yr old couldve drawn something similar to whats on my arm now and I went to a shop and paid good money to avoid that... wont being going back to mothers... I have plans for an artist at hybrid image to coverup jasons mistake

the artist, Bret Smith, is extremely undependable, though his art is good. I scheduled a consultation for which I drove 40 minutes to and pushed off work for, to arrive, wait ten minutes for the receptionist to show up, only to find that Bret was coughing and decided against coming in, after I had talked to him the night prior about coming in for the consultation the next day. I will not be going back as obviously his time is far more valuable compared to any of his clients.

They no longer pierce at this shop, but they do at their Erlanger location. Ive been coming here consistantly for 3 years for tattoos. The artists give you quality work. Ive seen work from other shops in the n.ky and theyre not comparable, except Danas. People say that its pricey but I believe you pay for quality, and Im willing to pay more for better work put on my body.

My first tattoo and I am very impressed. I did my research and found the beat portrait artist. Mothers should be honored to have Jason! I highly reccommend!!! ***** stars
