1st Class Tattooing

"Listen, I don't want to tell you how good this place is. I don't want to have to wait weeks for an appointment when yall find out how good it really is. However i need to let yall know about this artist angie (harlequinn_ink on instagram). Her colors are insane(check the scooby piece for my reference) and line work is clean. The atmosphere is super friendly and I can't reccomend her more if you want some color that really shines. 10/10 gold stars"

"George is the best in the biz! His work is always neat and professional! He gave me my first tattoo, my brother his first tattoo and now my daughter first tattoo."

"I came in to get another beautiful piece (peony) by Angie a few weeks ago. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Filling in the crook of my arm was awkward but Angie worked with me. I live an hour away but Angie along with the shop itself is worth the drive. It’s a pain to look for a new shop when you have a place that already knows what you like and how you like it. The artists here remember your face, your name, and the pieces they’ve done for you. George even remembered the piece he did for me four years ago. I’m definitely looking forward to finishing up my half sleeve at the shop in the coming months"

"Had been using another studio on previous 4 large color pieces, however artists moved to black/grey only, and I wanted to stick with color for traditional or neotraditional designs. 1st class was local and I was impressed with the designs on their Instagram feed from Angie(Harlequinn_ink). Started following her Instagram feed and was impressed with her colors, designs, shadowing, line work etc. Sent her a question about a piece she did, she was super informative on her reply, then called the shop for appt. They were professional from the 1st call, deposit, text confirmation, etc. I sent Harlequinn_ink my ideas via instagram, which she collected to discuss day before my appt, coming up with a design for review when I arrived. She wanted my input on all aspects of the design and location, making adjustments to be sure I was comfortable with every decision. Her work is awesome and her attention was intense, as she finished the work in half the time my other pieces took -AMAZING. She uses a timer which gauges time spent on “ink to skin” only charging you for the time to tattoo the design. Never heard of that before and was impressed with her efficiency. Aside from being a great artist, professional, efficient, Angie(Harlequinn_ink)is super nice and personable, keeping you engaged via charming conversation and making the time pass super fast. In the end I’m blown away by what she created for me, as she took my idea and created something I would have never thought of, creating a design I had never seen before- totally custom, but incorporated all the elements I wanted. To say she crushed it is an understatement! Colors are vibrant, pop, detail is amazing, placement is on point, I can go on forever! Hands down my favorite piece so far and cannot wait for the next project."
