Lefty’s Tattoo & Body Piercing

Considering that this was my first tattoo, I’m sticking with a four. Of course, I’m already planning my second, so I’ll have a better idea then.
Now I realize that a lot of people come in with a very specific design or idea. I didn’t. I knew what I wanted written and I knew where I wanted it placed. But I’m not a creative person, so that’s where I’m looking for the artist to help guide me with my decision. Initially I felt that the guy working with me (not Lefty) expected me to know what I wanted for every detail. I did my best to explain and I still felt like he was viewing me as «woman least likely to have a tattoo».
I’m glad to say that we reached an accord and he did a really nice job.
As I mentioned, new to the tattooing thing and so I was very curious. He did a nice job of explaining what the process was and I think I was a good customer. I didn’t cry, whine, flinch or bitch. Plus I tipped!
So, until the next one. I’m a fan!

Great shop with great prices and no bullshit what else can you say. Oh yeah a lot of custom work so feel confident that your piece will be one of a kind

Okay so I hit up Left’s 2^nd annual tattoo convention last weekend. It was my first tattoo convention so had no idea what to expect. Honestly I only went because I had friends with a booth. Got a new piece on Friday night. I must say the experience was just okay. There were two live bands and they were not very good. It was very loud so that the artist and I were practically shouting to hear each other. Also when you are in pain and trying to deal with it, loud bad music does not help. Lighting was not very good either so the artists needed to provide their own. I would have preferred that the tattoo contest /​judging happen on the stage so that we could all see. And rather than bands, just have more of the side-​show stuff. Although it was obvious that the MC knew how to handle the mic, I would have preferred less swearing and cock talk and more just promotion of the various artists and booths. Thanks to Lefty’s for throwing the party. Next year with some improvements I’ll give ya another star.
