Broken Clover Tattoo

Others may have had a great experience here, all the artists are very nice. I went with a friend to get a tattoo together. I got a moon, she got a sun. A guy worked with her and I got Sequoya. They were both very nice and helped us work out a price for what we wanted. This bad review is SOLEY because I (sadly) don’t like my tattoo. I want to like it, but I don’t. The face of my moon and the shading is superb and very lovely. But the outline looks awful, a 5^th grader could draw a better outline than that. The ends of the moon aren’t even sharp to a point, and the entire arch of the moon looks jaggid. I got it on the upper middle of my back so it was hard to see when she asked me if I like it. I was excited and I said I like it. (I do like the face of the moon a lot). Its weirder because she complimented how still I sat, especially for the location. So how did she mess it up? I contacted her to go back so she can «touch it up» but I didn’t seem very confident that she knew how to fix the actual shape of the moon «We can try a thicker outline» she says. Uhm no, we are not going to «Try» anything, you either know how you’re going to fix it or you don’t. But I will not be your lab rat. And so I backed out of going, kind of scared to let her tattoo me again anyway after learning she has only been in the tatt business for roughly a year .I’ll most likely have to pay someone I can Trust to fix it. I want to love the ink on my body, not regret it. My friends sun turned out beautiful though. So I guess that’s a plus.

Maybe you’re not cool enough for Broken Clover, but if you get a tattoo at Broken Clover, that might make you cool enough.
Twenty years after bartering for my first 2 tattoos (and getting my money’s worth, don’tcha know) I decided I was going to find the absolutely best tattoo parlor in town for my grownup ink. I settled on Broken Clover, as it was very highly rated, and chose Raquel as the artist whose work seemed to best fit my vision. Working with Raquel was great!
I got a couple simple tats first: one was a small line illustration from a book I had when I was a kid, and the other was some numbers in a typewriter face. Raquel works really fast: I was under the needle for maybe an hour total and got 2 very clean tattoos with incredibly fine detail. The lines are so exquisite! Some of them were a bit too fine, but they do touch-​ups for free, so it was the work of 3 minutes to fix it.
Then I was ready for a more complicated piece. I had a few pictures that were close to what I wanted, but not quite. Raquel was able to patch the source material together to create almost exactly what I had envisioned in my mind. This 3^rd tattoo gets so many compliments! The shading is spot on, and again, the tiny details are remarkable.
They just leased out the storefront next door to their original location, doubling the size of the business.
Don’t drop by; the door is usually locked and you need an appointment to see an artist. If you visit during the day, you may have difficulty finding the place. There’s a neon «tattoo» sign in the window, but they often keep the sliding door down over it, so there’s a good chance that you’ll just walk on past, as there is no shingle to identify the business. Maybe they’ll change that in the future.
The artists are really friendly and helpful. I’m saving up for a quarter sleeve and Raquel is definitely my first choice.

Jinx provided me with my first ever tattoo and I couldn’t be more satisfied. His art work is nothing less than phenomenal and I have yet to see something in his portfolio that did not impress me.
