![]() I was extremely excited to get my watercolor tattoo done by Britta. I would definitely go back to her again for more watercolor pieces. When she finally finishes I take a look at the artwork on my skin and asked if she could make it a little bit more "watercolor-ish." And then she fixed it!Overall, the experience was okay but Britta works magic with her skills. She shows me a few samples (from the internet) and I choose the one that I like best.The needle jabbing process only took about an hour and it was quiet 99% of the time. I thought we had already gone over this through email, but whatever. I, honestly, was too excited/nervous to care.Britta walks out and greets me, she asks what type of flowers I want plus the placement and size. She specializes in watercolor tattoos, so I took the hour long drive to go see her.I walked into the shop and it probably took five minutes for anyone that worked there to fully acknowledge me. Her online portfolio of various designs are one of a kind! Read Less ![]() Britta was very professional and honest, I liked her personality and her creativity. After this experience I know who I'd want my future tattoo to be done by. ![]() Word of advice: Don't bring in a copy of an image and ask her to replicate it as it is a big DISLIKE for her, she only does unique pieces. The entire process took about an hour and half! My husband's vision, coming to life on his skin was amazing! Britta made it look so real it looked unreal! It was truly "living art"!! It exceeded his expectations and he was truly happy with the results! Afterwards she gave us the aftercare information and advised him to call in the next few month for any touchups to his tattoo. As this was my first time experiencing a tattoo in progress, I was nervous and felt like I was holding my breath the entire time! Britta was extremely nice and I slowly felt at ease while watching my husband's tattoo take shape!She was very patient and answered questions about tattoos and suggestions for first timers and how to find/make a design that is meaning and to have it printed and put it up on your wall for a week, and look at it to see if you still like it, then do it for a month, and so on, for a year then get your tattoo! I was also advised to not get too small of a tattoo or too large of one either for my first one. She asked if I wanted to sit in, and there was a chair next to the seat so I got to watch the entire session! Each artist had their own private working areas, very nice and clean, filled with their personal artwork and works in progress displayed, like a mini-art studio. She had a brief consultation with my husband about any images/ideas for her to look at, and they discussed his design which she said she loved and we waited for her to prep and be ready for his session. J filled out some forms and met Britta, who initially seemed very quiet and intimidating with her full on tattoos and body mods. We arrived early and went inside to find a cool lounge area filled with art pieces. Read Lessġ1/1/15 This review is for Britta who was amazing! After about 6 months of deliberating and researching different artists my husband finally found Britta through Yelp reviews and online! He called and they were originally booked up but there had been a cancellation so he made a deposit and we were off to the Living Art Gallery Tattoo Lounge on a nice Sunday afternoon. Thanks again and sorry for interrupting you.PSS: Thank you to Brenna for teaching me the proper way to pronounce Giclee. ![]() Cant wait to sit for these artist soon and often.Thank you guys for an amazing experience and a very meaningful tattoo.PS: Picked up one of Jason's Gilcee's which he was kind enough to sign. So good that after 12 years off the needle, I will be in the chair in two weeks and have had my fire rekindled to finally flesh out those half finished sleeves I've been wearing.There are many quality shops between my home and SCLAG but this place is well worth the drive. The work, artistry, execution and overall experience(s) were excellent. My wife got a piece with Britta that she's been pining over for nearly 2 years. The environment and presentation leaves nothing to be desired and the staff is friendly, knowledgable and in no way cooler than you. Living Art and the practitioners therein are absolutely top notch in every way. It's been well over 10 years since I've spent any significant time in a tattoo parlor / shop / studio and I have tattoos from each incarnation as this industry has dug itself out from beneath the stereotype(s) of bikers and baddies to a bonafide medium that can't be discounted as fad or fancy.
