Tatuarte

There is many tattoo shops in town so it was hard for me to choose the one where I wanted to get my first tattoo. I searched around and then later remembered that my dad had gotten a tattoo close to where my boyfriend lives. I went to his house and we decided to walk over to the tattoo shop that was called Tatuarte, which is Spanish for “tattoo yourself.” I looked around the shop and saw the guys work. The guy’s name was Jorge. I really liked his work and his shop was basically like an apartment, but without rooms. It was all one big room, with half of it being his waiting room and the other half being his working area. Feeling really comfortable with his shop, I decided that was where I would be getting my first tattoo, also because my dad was already friends with Jorge and he gave us a discount. When I went to get my tattoo, I was really nervous, but Jorge made it easier for me. He joked around a lot with me and my boyfriend so he could make me laugh and forget about the pain. He did a really good job on the tattoo I wanted. First, he drew it on my leg with sharpies and made sure that I liked how it looked. When he made sure it was what I wanted, he started doing the actual work. I decided to do it colored instead of the plain green that is seen on most tattoos. I really liked Jorge’s work because, instead of just doing it how he wanted to, he asked repeatedly if I liked it in order for me to leave satisfied. Other shops might have just done it how they thought I wanted it and collect their money. Tatuarte, however, made sure it was what I wanted. I really recommend this shop for anybody that is looking into getting a tattoo, even if it isn’t their first one.
