Sacred Heart Tattoo 3

On July 23, 2019 I visited (5) other tattoo shops and showed a 6-year old tattoo to at least (12) artists, hoping to find one who could enhance it significantly before I would even think about adding 2 more tattoos. All (12) artists said "leave it alone - it's a decent tattoo," and all they wanted to do was discuss my 2 new tattoos. I wanted the "decent tattoo," redone first, because it had never really looked the way I originally envisioned.

I always ask people in public about their "ink" if I can see some on them, and I usually ask which tattoo they like the best, and where they got it done. So many times people have named Sacred Heart Tattoo, and then showed me the work they've had done over many years by Izzy, Larry and/or Tatiyana.

So believing they would be the best, I made Sacred Heart my last stop. Izzy and Larry both examined my tattoo, and immediately offered creative ideas. Izzy had to return to a client, but Larry stayed and took some flair pens to reline and repaint the tattoo. At 8 p.m. I asked "Can we do that now?"

For the next 7 hours as he re-worked my tattoo, we shared many stories about our different paths in life, and my next 2 tattoos. At 3 a.m. the tattoo in the mirror was even better than I had envisioned 6 years ago. Larry had re-done the lining perfectly, re-inked all of it, and added the proper shading to give the tattoo the depth it had lacked, and the movement it was meant to depict.

I counsel active duty soldiers and combat veterans, and have 3 living with me temporarily who are between deployments. All 3 of them already liked my original tattoo, but 2 nights later I silently entered the kitchen to see if any of them would notice the change. All 3 of them reacted immediately and said it was absolutely more vibrant and powerful. They agreed this Larry guy really nailed it. I know they can get really busy, but Izzy, Larry and Tatiyana are all caring, creative and skillful. I know I'm going back.

Izzy is awesome! Talented and skilled.I wouldn't let anyone else put ink on me.

Doesn't Recommend

Larry at Sacred heart tattoo drew the tattoo on me and I wasn't pleased at all. My 6 year old could have drawn it better. When I asked him if he could do better he got offended and pretty much kicked me out of the shop. I highly recommend finding another shop like I did.Or at least find a talented artist which Larry apparently is not.

I highly recommend Izzy he did an amazing job! I was a first timer and Izzy made sure my experience was calm and smooth. He's such a cool guy, and an awesome artist. Shop was clean and cozy, artwork everywhere, I liked it. Definitely wil be back real soon.

Called ahead of time . Got there waited for almost two hours, without anyone asking us how we were or what we wanted . 50$ minimum for some bull that wouldn't take 10 mins to do ..then repeatedly lied to us to try and get us to do a much more expensive tattoo . My husband and I are no rookies to the ink world and we do not appreciate the disrespect . Then on top of it all the guy trys to tell us that my husbands one day old tattoo from (underground ink in Oakwood) was in infected .. get real . Underground Ink has one first place many times and yall have only third .. yall are overpriced and under qualified .. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

In order to get a tattoo and/or piercing you have to be 18 and older which is the shop policy. Even with a parent/guardian consent you still have to be 18.So if your are going here just know you have to be 18 and older.

Don't go here the tattoo artist Larry Rodriquez who works at the Norcross Ga store is very disrespectful, rude, and doesn't keep his word, my daughter got a small tattoo on her neck of a Leo sign her frist tattoo it has become a nightmare after he was done he told her that it might fade to come back and he would touch it up well today March 15,2012 we went there to get it redone he started telling my daughter that she had to do something wrong for it to be the way it was he refused to take any responsibility for this terrible tattoo after an argument he told us to leave his store we did now going to sue and picked his establishment hope he reads this!!!!! please if you want a terrific tattoo don't go here!!!!!

I highly recommend Izzy, he does amazing work. I will not go to anyone else. The shop is clean and safety is a priority.

Me and my husband went in for our work to be done and we were seen in a prompt and courteous manor. Out artist was Izzy and he took the time to listen to me and my husband. Ive been going to this shop for over 5 years and i have never had a problem with them.

Izzy is a great artist and very patient. Work came out great i would recommend this shop to everyone.
