Yes Kings Ave is a super legit shop.. You can’t really go wrong with anyone there.

I’m going to save up some money and go to them for ideas to ’embellish’ the name tattoo….maybe a rose with the stem wrapping and hiding the date. Really i’m just going to go in and say “What should i do with this?”

Getting the leaf ‘engraved’ is a fine enough idea if that’s what you want. You’ll probably come to regret wasting that canvas on such a piece, though.

The Leaf (Celtic Knot) is more about the symbolism for me….From all the research i’ve found, it is the symbol for “Fatherhood” and since I have a redheaded, green eyed,…[Read more]

I’ve started googling a bit tattoo places around my area….it appears there is a place literally right around the corner from me(Maybe 5 minutes, the place talked about above is an hour away) that has some pretty positive reviews….Kings Avenue Tattoo….Have any of you heard of this place?

You definetly given me some things to think about! The rose and the ‘drop shadows’ are both pretty good options!

With the amount of uber talented tattooist out there today there is no reason to get a crappy tattoo.

Wow, I had no idea it was a bad…[Read more]

The flourish should have definitely gone the other way on the “k” .
I also saw “rayden”

I can’t complain, overall its a very clean tattoo and he was very smooth with the tattoo machine, i’m just new to tattooing so didn’t realize the angle was correct for mine. I’m going to go back to him soon to get the Celtic…[Read more]
