Whats the catch???

Alot of people have dropping by City of Ink for the $40 special. This special is for 20-25 min. of freehand custom tattooing, but some people are trying to abuse this offer and my team has been getting upset because people have really be trying to get HOURS of tattooing for $40, some even wanted to get cover-ups for $40...and thats not going to happen. I guess people don't understand the big picture. I created this offer so I can introduce my team to Atlanta. Since it's a recession and before Xmas I wanted to do something special for the people and my staff. It's like a drug dealer giving samples of their drugs for free, then the customer comes back for more building up a clientele. We are all differen artist some of us work faster than others, so it's NOT about SIZE but all about TIME...20-25 min. of custom SOUL for only $40, thats beautiful! Even I have jumped in and did a few $40 tattoos. A few of my midwest appointments canceled because of the layoffs so I had a few free hours to take a few walk-ins myself. I haven't done a $40 tattoo in YEARS, so it's not easy for me to do the smaller stuff..I can do a fine art style black & grey piece in 25 min. no problem, but please don't try to get over on me, if you keep it real with me, I will always give you more than what you paid for...I just LOVE art and making people happy in this time of struggle and recession.

The BEST Tattoo Shop in DC.....period!!!

There are alot of tattoo shops in DC, and I try to visit them all but one always stood out. It's VERY rare to find a professionally trained tattooist who can do HIGH QUALITY tattoos on black skin. Alot of the tattoos I seen on black people in DC were from those hood tattoo parties. I can't knock anyones hustle, if someone is dumb enough to let a dude come to their home and tattoo everyone for $40 thats all on them. But you don't have to do the DC tattoo party thing (which is very dangerous by the way) you can go to a SAFE and CLEAN place like Pinz-n-Needlez. They have affordable prices, every artist are REAL artist so they can get custom one of a kind tattoos. Thats the reason I only tattoo at Pinz-n-Needlez when I'm in DC, because they care about quality over price....support Chris and his crew, their amazing!
