Today, I went with my friend to get her first tattoo at Big Joe & Sons in White Plains. She was got the mysterious letters found in the Qu'ran in Arabic (kind of interesting because they appear repeatedly in the Qu'ran but no one knows what they mean). The tattoo itself was fairly simple and came out great but the service was just okay. They were laid back but the artist seemed preoccupied. During the session my friend got a bit dizzy and he made her take a break. But then he literally forgot about her and was busy on the phone. He took him about 20 to 30 mi
nutes to remember to finish the tattoo. Once it was done, they pretty much just gave her a sheet on after-care instructions with a recommendation on best creme but didn't really go through it with her. Even though she likes the tattoo, she doesn't believe she would go back. It really shows how getting a tattoo is not just the finished product but the experience of getting it.Gimme your opinion, leave a

I agree, the experience more so than the tattoo is what makes it- Not to say a good Tattoo Isn't important, it most definitely is, but the artists needs to make you comfortable and create a sense of ease- they are after all putting something on your body that hurts and is permanent and generally pretty important to you. The atmosphere needs to be relaxed and content or it can not only ruin the experience but the connotation with the tattoo.
