Was able to get in with chronic last minute and he did a amazing butterfly, he was super comfortable to work with! Already having him work on my second piece!
Edit to say, I have seen first hand some of the issues and while I paid him a deposit for a second piece at the time of the first he bailed and I never heard from him again.

This is what a decent looking tattoo turned into it. Dad was looking for a way to camouflage the faces he had there. Perhaps add roses around the faces but the so call artist Roy was high on pot as usual and this is what he did to his Arm. He tried to contact him many times and he refused to answered. His assistance sent him a message and was asking for more money to fix it. Stay from this place.
Answer. That is a lie. Know your history el Che Wasmr a dictator but Im not gonna spend time teaching your history. He requested to cover up their faces with big flowers. Roy was too high to listen

The shop is nice and open. Staff is friendly. I have been getting tattooed by Victor for a while now and I absolutely love his work. I highly recommend him if your searching for a new artist. This is my latest piece by him.

I booked an appointment with Chronic a month and a half ago. Paid a 50 dollar deposit that was to go towards my overall tattoo. My appointment was today at 1. I was there at 12:55 checked in at the front desk and was told he would be there shortly. At 1:25 he rolls in claiming there was traffic. Also that he would need to take a smoke break before he began anything. At 1:40, he came to me to ask about my design, despite me having sent it during our original correspondence. He spent another 40 minutes drawing up the design. At 2:30 he began setting up his station, but required another break before

Nice clean shop and friendly staff. I went to get a Lotus flower tattooed on my arm and Pierre did a wonderful job. He was very professional and easy to talk to. I love my tattoo and plan to get more from him in the future.
