I have been tattooed by many artists over the years, and I can safely say working with Mike was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had. He brought my simple idea to life with a beautiful design, integrated my feedback promptly and gave me advice on placement while respecting my decision. One thing not enough people talk about is the atmosphere when being tattooed — with Mike it was the perfect blend of professionalism and familiarity. My comfort was his top priority, I felt safe and heard the whole time and he checked in with me to make sure I was alright, whether I needed a bathroom break or a drink etc. He talked with me when I needed distracting, but was equally happy to let me zone out; I didn’t feel pressured to keep up the talk. I am extremely happy with my piece, I’ve had so many compliments on it already. The colours pop, the light and shade make it look almost real, and the linework is on par with tattooists who’ve been in the game for decades. I’m never letting anyone else near my skin with a needle again, Mike has earned my unwavering loyalty. My piece by mike is my absolute favourite; from beginning to end the entire experience was unmatched. Mike has a blend of professionalism, artistry and familiarly which come together to make him the kind of tattoo artist people dream of.
