Black Iris Studio

I have started my tat’s as of 10 years ago. I have a vision of what I want & go forward with it in ink. D Silva is the person who can put that vision in a tattoo overflow that comes across as perfection. He can take your idea & create it with your body type. He is educational to your question, even after my 10 years. He is very respectable to what you want.
Through every session, he always let’s me know when he will begin so I can expect the steps in the process. D has a gentle hand & wipes it off at every right moment. He is always flexible in his schedule.
D is very respectable in his work as an artist. Not just with a tat needle. He can paint & draw. His colors are explosive & his shading is in depth. Very clean image. You will want D who can have your image clear from across the street.
If its your first tat, you will be comfortable. If it’s another for you, you will hold to calling D «your» artist.
Thank you, D !

Best shop around thanks Daniel Silva

A friend recommended this place for my first tattoo to me after he got his tattoo there. Ernie did my tattoo. He came in on his day off to do the tattoo because i wanted to get it on my birthday.
Everything is very clean and it just feels like a cool place to be in. I’m definitely going back to get more ink done.
The only negative thing i have to say is that i made an appointment like 2 weeks in advanced and dropped off the picture i wanted, but they had done nothing to prepare before my appointment so i still had to wait like 2 hours.

A few of my friends recommended Black Iris Studio for a tattoo that I planned on getting. It was a memorial tattoo of a very very close friend of mine who recently died (at the time), and since the friends that recommended me did the same thing and I liked the work that was done, I decided to go in.
I had been thinking about my design for several months and when I came in, I met D. Extremely nice guy and very knowledgeable on the tattoo culture as a whole, which was really nice to know. I told him what I had in mind and he let me know what could work and what couldn’t. From there we basically traded ideas until we finally agreed on something. That was day one. Considering this was my very first tattoo and it was going to be a rather large piece, he said he would come up with a design and for me to come back another time and we’ll see if I liked it or not.
So I come in, I like it, we go to work for as much as I can afford for that session, which was really cool so you already know how much you’re going to spend going into the day. So anyway, as I’m sitting, we talk about why I’m getting it and what it means to me. I’m guessing this is kind of the obvious conversation starter that gets things going. Like an ice breaker almost. So we get into that and from there we stem off into various other side conversations. As D was telling me, tattoo artists are like underpaid psychologists. They sit there and listen and try to interpret stuff. Fortunately, he’s got a lot of funny stories and is a really cool guy, so it puts you at ease.
Throughout the process, he would trade off spots to alleviate the pain here and there, I think that helped quite a bit. Again, this was my first tattoo. Anyhow, session after session, we «finish» my tattoo. The reason I put that in quotes is because he left parts open in case I wanted to add more later on, and you know what? I do. Eventually, at least.
All in all, VERY dope spot. The front of the shop is an art gallery, and that’s dope in itself. VERY clean shop as well. He runs a very creative tattoo shop and treats his work like real art, as it should be. No flash, all custom. Legit. HIGHLY SUGGESTED.
