    Scott was very informative and knowledgeable while tattooing. Wish the shadows on the sharks were a little darker, but overall very happy. He made several suggestions while tattooing that I think really make the tattoo pop! Daughter went back later and got a tattoo as well. We're both happy with the work done.
