“Same.morni g day of tattoo appointment. We called when they opened a d they booked us immediately. There are 3 of us... my self, my best friend d of 21 years and her grandmother. Whom happeneds to be celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary and is completing a vow renewal. We all got matching writing tattoos. They were happy to accommodate what each of us wanted in variation to the words and font and colors. They talked with each of us and checked in several times before during and after the tattoo. I got a teal green/blue cursive font only. Grandmother got matching font and writing with an added turtle and flower. Best friend got the dame word and font and added flower. We also purchased some family woven bracelets made by one of our artists and his daughter.Requested style: Asked for an exact word and font and showed a picture. They followed through well.Specialties: Asked for colored ink. Asked for embellishments and design.Cleanliness: Super clean and tidy.Stylist: Wonderful conversations and times to be had.“

“We found Bee Inked after having a very pushy encounter with another artist in town. This was our teenage son's first tattoo. Emily never tried to make his design her own, but offered advice and was patient with questions. We appreciated her suggestion to make the font thinner and more spaced, to maintain the design for longer. Her relaxed manner kept my son distracted as she worked and they chatted about music. The finished product is very crisp and just as he wanted. Thank you also for the medical-grade wrap which kept the new tattoo securely covered during our travel home. While Emily was working, we shared experiences with a couple who showed up unhappy with another shop. Sure enough, Emily's respect for the customer (and general peacefulness) won them over too. We are big fans!“
