This was my first tattoo, and I had designed it myself, but knew that it needed a modification that only the tattoo artist could make for me. It was very meaningful to me, and I "interviewed" several tattoo artists. My husband had heard about Kevin, and when I went in to meet with him, his demeanor was impressive. The other artists I interviewed wanted to change the "font" on my design, but Kevin was very thoughtful in that he knew that it was my expression of what I wanted. He was also very considerate of the fact that I was anxious about the painful side of it. I left my design with him and scheduled an appointment. Upon my return, he had made the modification perfectly, and I then told him the colors I wanted, and ask him to use the colors, but apply them using his artistic impression. I had done my research and knew that Kevin was an art major, and I had seen his portfolio. I won't say that it was not a bit of a painful process, but the private atmosphere, and his concern for my comfort was top notch. What I want to encourage you about is the fact that allowing him to use his own artistic impression with the color detail was that of a beautiful artist. He literally did the color on the "fly", using his impression right off of the top of his head, thereby allowing him to show the kind of artist he is. I've only had my tattoo for a month, but I traveled out of the country, and the people were so very impressed all over the world. It's a simple tattoo, but Kevin applied a life-long symbol on me that I am so very happy with and overly impressed to show anyone. I like to say that I designed it, but I also like to show what an artist he is. I would actually put Kevin in a whole different category than most tattoo artists. You can feel his passion while he works. PLEASE PLEASE consider him, and take a look at his online portfolion. It speaks for itself. KEVIN....THANKS.
Pros: Private setting, considerate, great artist, parking convenient, THUMBS UP UP UP
