Auctorem tattoo

"Just got my raven wing done by josh, and I’m speechless. This is better than I could have ever imagined! His shop is such a relaxing environment also, no heavy metal or anything. If you’re looking to get a new piece I highly recommend him!!"

"I got a large leg piece done by Josh Turpin; owner of auctorum a little over 2 years ago, at previous shop shang hai. (two sessions) What I was left with, had to be completely blacked out by another artist. During the first session, he was shaking. I asked if he needed a break, to which he said it was his blood sugar…. ? The line work was inconsistent, shaky and unsymmetrical. After my initial appointment, I reached out to discuss my concern with the work and was met with radio silence. I did not hear back from him until the day before my next scheduled appointment. At that point, my entire shin is covered in shaky lines and I had hope it could be evened out. The end product was genuinely horrible. Blown out wobbly lines and heavy shading that did not match the opposing side I had reputable artists look at the piece afterwards and the only fix was removal or blackout Josh stood for the entirety of the tattoo, continuously told me his passion was in music and at the end of the final appointment when I addressed the inconsistencies he said “Hindi work is rarely ever symmetrical” I whole heartedly regret trusting Josh Turpin ~Doing bad work and not taking accountability is bad buisness. Shame on you. I tried to handle this outside of google and was unsurprisingly met with no response This review for you was on Shanghai’s google page until September of this year. If you failed to see it there, the fault is your own. If you wanted to check your books, my appointments were august 7th at 2pm and September 2nd at 3pm of 2020. I have receipts….."

"Josh Turpin is a master artist! I wasn't sure what I wanted and he took the time to design not 1 but 3 pieces for me. His design, line work was impeccable! He created art and truly captured what I wanted. The atmosphere at Auctorem was great. Great people, Great place!"

"Beautiful shop and very peaceful! Josh is an amazing artist and does impeccable work!!"

"Amazing shop! Josh is such a great guy and an amazing artist. Great place to get a tattoo."
