My tattoo was overworked and has scarred badly. I spent a long time researching before I chose to have Tommy-Lee tattoo a memorial piece of my late wife on my forearm. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. First, while tattooing they ran out of wipes, so he used paper towel which left little paper residues every time the tattoo was wiped. It probably also irritated the tattoo. The session that was supposed to take 3 to 4 hours lasted 7. Which I did not complain about. I reassured him to take his time so that it came out good. Towards the end of the 7 hour session, he blurted«shit!» And I asked if something went wrong, to which he replied, «no, it’s just everyone is a little different.» Some non-sense answer. From there he seemed to just quickly wrap things up in a very half-hearted manner. Then he said, how about I give you a $ 100 off. On the portrait, one of her eyes began to swell abnormally within a few days. I took a photo and sent it to Tommy-Lee and asked what I should do. His answer was, «it just saw a little more trauma, it can be touched up when it heals Completely.» A month passed, the swelling went away, and I was left with a giant scar. I contacted him again and again and asked if he has any idea what I can do to minimize this scarring, no answer. Later on I found out from another artist that this part was basically just beaten and overworked so much that this was bound to happen. I understand tattoos are pieces of artwork put into skin using needles. I accept sometimes things can go wrong. He obviously does good work, that’s why I chose to go with the guy, but based on my experience, he is an artistic child with tattoo needles. I would be very careful about allowing my skin to be permanently marked by an irresponsible tattoo artist no matter how talented they may appear to be online.

This is definitely the place to go if you’re trying to get work done. I saw AB(@ab_ink on Instagram) for a ¾ and it could not have turned out better! AB pays so close to detail that it’s unreal! I constantly get compliments on my tattoos and even have people tell me it looks like a painting. Paid a very fair price and have even recommended my friends! Wish I found this place sooner!

I have a few friends who saw Tommy Lee, so I started to research his work and see what all the hype was about. Oh my god, he is phenomenal. He is the best artist I have seen. He is so very precise, honest, reliable, and knows what he is doing! He did a portrait on my leg of Lucy and Desi and its all I ever hoped for and more. He’s pretty damn awesome. And of course easy to talk to, so that makes it a better experience as well. I recommend him to anyone and everyone now! Also if your looking for someone to do biomech work, Anthony Diaz does my boyfriends tattoos. He’s awesome to say the least. All the guys are very talented in their own ways here, depending on what you want done. But Tommy is my go to guy for sure!

Very clean and professional shop. I had work done by Zander & I was thoroughly impressed by his attention to detail and professionalism. All of the artists at Knucklehead support each other and it was nothing but good vibes here. I saw some amazing art done by truly talented artists while I was getting my tattoo done. I went on a Wednesday nite and every artist there(5⁄6?) were booked and doing pieces, nobody was sitting around waiting for work. I like Zander’s work & recommend you Check out knuckleheads Facebook page/website/IG for artist work that suits your personal style preference.
