According to the website, walk-ins are welcome. Upon calling, I was told by the owner that they do not actually (thank god I called). Furthermore, I emailed regarding a consultation in response to an email from Blue Gem and two weeks later I have still not heard back from them. Definitely going to take business to a more professional place.

Rich my tattoo guy is amazing. I highly recommend him for getting anything done, what an amazing artist and great guy in general. Here's an early stage photo of the work he done on my full sleeve to honor my fallen veteran buddies.

Rich at the blue gem doesn't like working with customers with custom tattoo work. He complained about me wanting changes done constantly even though a tattoo is permanent. If it's not good enough why would I approve it? Plus he has horrible attention to detail and ended up coloring parts of my tattoo the wrong colors and did a horrible job shading. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy. He was also very slow doing the work. Took about 4 hours to do the tattoo. The new place I went to did the next tattoo with similar detail at twice the size in 2 hours. I also was very patient with him and

I had an awesome experience with Jonah! He did an amazing job on my old tattoo and brought so much life to it! I'm super excited about it! I looked at a picture of my old tattoo and compared it to the new one. It's night and day. The old one is missing everything that makes it realistic looking. The new one is so much more lifelike and is beautifully redone. I can't express how amazing it looks and how happy I am about the work he did on it. I look forward to my next one soon! Thank you!!!

Jonah is one of the most patient and hardest working people I've ever met. I trust him to tattoo me and I send home referrals all the time for his portrait work. Great work and a great dude. -Greg Counard Owner of Endless expansion Tattoo

The shop was extremely clean and organized. Jonah did an absolutely amazing job with my tattoo. He was friendly and helpful. I had a tattoo done elsewhere years ago that I wanted fixed and added onto but I was a little clueless on the proper approach and what exactly I wanted. Despite my vague guidance, he designed something that I can wear proudly and confidently and I am beyond ecstatic. The level of professionalism and the high standard of sanitation here is impeccable. I would definitely reccomend Blue Gem to anyone and everyone.
