![]() ![]() I had top cancel that appointment due to personal reasons but said I would reschedule next time I was going to be in the area. I called and made another appointment for Friday, February 17, for Mike to do the touch ups. I came back home and after the healing process realized that some of the letters were not inked completely showing some skin within the outline. As Mike worked he told me about the shop's policy letting me know touch-ups were free. I brought with me a sample of what I wanted so there would be no mistakes. I drove up Thanksgiving 2016 to have two tattoos done, on my right foreman and left wrist. I made an appointment with Mike, as my original artist had moved to SC. I moved to Ft Lauderdale but still wanted the shop to do my next two tattoos. I was so pleased I went back to have her do a half sleeve on my left arm, again with awesome results. The artist that helped me for my first tattoo did an great job of directing me to a design she reconfigured to make it my own. When I wanted my fist tattoo about 12 years ago I went to a number of shops before deciding on Euphoria because of all the rave reviews I had heard of the artists there, especially Alain, as well as the good vibe I got when I walked in the door. If I had to guess, you probably felt like you got bad service because you were being a bad customer. ![]() I’ll keep it short, customer service is a two way street and if you want to be respected for giving Euphoria your business then show your artists respect. I also feel inclined to address some of the bad reviews I’m seeing. I don’t think there’s a style of tattooing that you can’t get done at this shop, they all are so talented and can do just about anything you ask. Kate, Michael, and Alain have all done great work on my friends and family and deserve recognition for their dedication to the art. But I have to be fair and give a shout out to the rest of the shop as well. They’ve become good friends of mine over the past several years, a huge reason why I’ve always chosen to come back as if the quality of the work itself wasn’t a good enough reason. I’ve gotten several tattoos from Nate and Luis and it’s always been a great experience. (The “H” in the planchette is for his last name).My personal favorite shop in Tallahassee and the only one I will get tattooed at for as long as I live here. Josh Wilcox at Heritage Tattoo in Las Vegas, NV put this gorgeous tattoo on me in November in memory of Nick. I put it on my right calf because that’s where he had one of his gnarliest scars from his cancer. I was so mad, but it was that sense of humor that made me love him. He suggested I use a ouija board from now on. ![]() That night I texted him, telling him how much I’d miss his texts and what I’d feel when he couldn’t respond. In October 2012 he and I had lunch and he told me he was dying from liver failure from his childhood cancer treatment. We were more like siblings than friends, fought constantly. He was the proudest, biggest jerk in the world, never wanting help from anyone. His surgeries left him with a limp and having to use a cane a majority of the time. He had Ewing Sarcoma when he was a small child, from his cancer he was missing a majority of the bones in his legs. This is the tribute piece I got for my best friend in the entire world. ![]()
