I had my first tat done this past weekend at the Tank & I can't stop telling people about my experience! At the first consult, I met Mr. Patrick Shackley & gave him some design ideas I had. Upon meeting Patrick, I was immediately comfortable - he was extremely personable, listened to my ideas & open to answering any questions I had. The second consult was a day before my appointment where I came to see the designs Patrick created. Since everything at this shop is custom, you know you're getting something that is unique & personally meaningful to you. The sketch Patrick created for me was so intricate & detailed, incorporating all the ideas I'd mentioned to him. It was amazing... for someone who does usually curse, I left there telling my friends the design was f*cking awesome! The day of my appt. Patrick took his time in placing the trace paper just right on my lower back & made sure I was happy with the placement & size. He showed me the sterilized equipment, sealed & fresh out of the enclave as he set up & explained everything to me as he was doing it since this was my first tat. Patrick asked me throughout the process how I was doing & completely put me at ease. About three hours later, I was ink'd with a gorgeous butterfly & flower design on my lower back. Patrick took his time & really blended the colors so they look realistic & compliment each other, rather than looking "cheesy" like I'd heard some colored tats can be. I've since received endless compliments on the detail & beauty of my tat & I've been handing out Shackley's card like candy. Long story short... if you're looking for a place to get ink'd, talk to Shackley at the Tank. His artistry, professionalism & way with people can't be beat. The cubes are open so if you're modest about other people seeing you, get over it. If you love your tat like I love mine, show 'em some love & tip your tat artist! Shackley is the bomb!
