Love-N-Hate Tattoo Studio

I went into Love-n- Hate and was greeted by friendly people and not the common tattoo elitist. I came with a project that has been 10 years in the making, looking for an artist to take a personal interest and have input, as well as be perceptive to what I was trying to do. This is exactly what I found at Love-N-Hate. I have looked at many portfolios across the metroplex and finally found what I was looking for with Deb. Her portfolio boasted many well done originals as well as AMAZING cover-ups and fill-ins. After speaking with her and bouncing ideas back and forth I decided to proceed with the project. Surprisingly, she did not charge a drawing fee, which is common, and took time on multiple occasions to help nail down the details. She was very professional and we were in contact until we arranged a date to start the large project that I had presented. I cannot express how grateful I am to have someone be so professional and friendly and turn out such an AWESOME product. If you are looking for a new tattoo, a fill-in, or a cover-up, Love-N-Hate is the place to go, and Deb is the One to talk to. Thanks to all the staff at Love-N-Hate, you guys are awesome! more

Dude I was just in today at Love N Hate Tattoo and had my Tat done by a great artist and bad ass tattooist. I've had work done there before and every time its been awesome, but this guy has got some real talent, Thanks Josh for your great work, I'll be seeing you in the future for mine or the wifes next tat. more

My husband and I were looking to get a LOT of work done. I first found Love-n-Hate online and they had decent reviews. I looked at everyone's artwork and was very impressed with the artist Josh. We went into the shop to see if we could talk to someone about our work we wanted. My husband has two tattoos, one on each calf. We want to cover them so that means that we will be covering the whole bottom part of his legs. The guy behind the counter just stared at us for the longest time and then told us Deb would be the only one that could do cover ups. That's cool I guess, I wasn't floored by her work, but she did a good job with the cover ups. Then I told the guy what I wanted. I had some of my own art work (not tattoo worthy but it was just for inspiration) and planned to cover my entire calf as well. I was hoping to meet Josh but I was sent over to talk to Luis. After talking to Luis, he also recommended that I talk to Deb, and that she would be perfect for the job. So Deb only works 2 nights a week which I'm not happy about since my husband and I want such large pieces done but whatever. They told us that we could come back and talk to her, send an email, or we could text her. So today my husband went in to talk to her in person. There are 4 or 5 guys just standing around talking in the front and Debs doing a tattoo. Now we don't expect her to stop what she is doing by any means, but first impressions mean everything, even in a tattoo shop. Deb was full of attitude, very rude and short with my husband, and told him it was a $100 bucks just to talk to her. We will NOT be getting our work done here. For one, why is there only one artist in the shop that can do anything? Are you telling me that all the other guys standing around only do piercings and the stencils that are all ready drawn out for them? Does she charge $100 because after she comes up with something people don't like her work and go elsewhere? Or she only works two days a week so she makes all her money on consultations? Tattoos last for life for the most part, I will not settle with these guys. (UPDATE) Since then we came across Cat Tattoo off of Belt Line rd. There work is AMAZING and blows these guy out of the water!! We will be going there next week and I'm SO excited! Definitely look them up if you want more then just the flash art on the wall!!! more
