Su Houston is amazing!!!. I'm working on a half-sleeve with Su Houston and after two sittings (1st one for outline and 2nd one for color) ... all I can say is ... WOW. Amazing work. All the individual pieces transition seamlessly and I couldn't be more happy. She took was merely a vague idea and turned it into exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait for my next sitting although I have to admit, doing the color hurts. Quite a bit. But so worth it!!!!!

Already excited for my next one!. I just moved to Chicago for school and had the idea for a tattoo in my head for many years. After doing a little bit of research I decided to go to Tatu Tattoo for my first. It was my best decision ever. From the moment I walked in everyone made me feel comfortable. Everyone was very professional and within minutes they had my idea on a stencil. Eric Janovsky made getting my tattoo so easy. For my first I decided to go with the ribs. Everyone had told me it was the most painful spot so I was quite nervous and actually shaking a little. Eric made me feel right at home and calm about getting it. The tattoo was amazing and my friends already have an appointment to get their own. If you are thinking about a tattoo go nowhere but tatu!

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. TATU TATTOO GAVE US THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE TIME FRAME OF OUR WAIT...WHICH IS FINE. AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF OF WAITING, THE GENTLEMAN ASKED US TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE WOMAN WHO WAS GOING TO DO OUR TATTOO ASKED US FOR A DEPOSIT BECAUSE SHE WAS COMING IN ON HER DAY OFF! NO ONE ASKED HER TO COME IN ON HER DAY OFF! AFTER WE LEFT SU HOUSTON DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON HERSELF & ALSO TAKE THE SITUATION THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER PERSONAL... SHE FOLLOWED MY FAMILY (MOM, DAD, & SISTER) & I OUT THE DOOR AND YELLED "F**K YOU"! IS THIS THE KIND OF SERVICE TATU TATTOO LIKES TO PROVIDE?! THERE WAS NOT PROBLEM WITH THE SITUATION AT ALL UNTIL SU HOUSTON YELLED PROFANITY TO MY FATHER. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL! THE SERVICE IS BAD & DISCRIMINATING! SU HOUSTON ONLY HAS RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO LOOK LIKE HER!

P.S. SU HOUSTON RUINED MY DADS FATHERS DAY GIFT!

Clean facility and talented artists.. Although I had to wait to see my artist, it was worth it. The shop is very clean and the staff is obviously concerned with safety. My artist, Marci, was not only very talented, but she took the time to make sure I understood the entire process and let me know I could come back for a free touch-up or call if I had any questions about the healing process.

Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Ricardo is the man. I was in Chicago on business and decided I wanted to get a tattoo. I searched and read all the reviews on here and decided I would check out Tatu. I have my back covered in tattoo's so I know what to look for and what to stay away from.

Ricardo greeted me when I arrived, listened to what I had to say and gave me a price. He was a really cool cat and we talked the entire time. He gave me an excellent tattoo which healed very well. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends.

The place was clean, organized, lots of lights, and they seemed to follow hygiene codes very well.

Ricardo - thx again man, and let me know if you ever pass through Tulsa and want to go shooting!
