The shop lives on under a new name, Stillhouse Tattoos in the same location as the late Point Blank, and is run by the original people who have spent endless hours within its walls providing ink and metal to many in the Michiana area.
I must give credit where credit is due: I myself have four tattoos from under this roof done by the magnificent Aaron Ryan and Deuce. On a "metal" note, in February of 2010 I received my first micro dermals from Chris, and came back for more later that summer, which Joel so gently took care of.
Watch the video of the madness!
If you're not ready to commit to ink just yet, maybe piercing is the way to go. Joel Frechette is the man, and has brought pain with needles to many of my friends, including me!
Step back, pause... by pain, I mean "you'll live, take a deep breath, you'll be hardcore in the morning."
Micro dermal piercings are something that I am currently infatuated with, and can be placed in unique spots that can be customized to your own liking! Look:
Ever hear of bedazzling? Bedazzle yourself! Besides, who doesn't love a little "sparkle".
Hey jena!
ReplyDeleteI need to ask your opinion of stillhouse. I have been going to a different tattoo shop and am not very appreciative of the manner in which they conduct business or deal with their co workers. I was wondering if you feel that the artists at stillhouse get along and support each other with their work etc...
And also how reasonable are their prices. I feel like I have been paying too much and when i have asked to have my designs drawn up its one price and then when its done and on my body, its a higher price and from my point of view that is total bullish!
I need an artist that is straight with me and listens to what I want. Luckily my other tats still look good but I'm not risking my future ones...who would be a good artist who can do detail? I am extremely picky and have very intricate and large pieces and designs that need to be understood and done right before the needle hits my skin.
I agree. They all seem to say one price then when you go to get the work they hike the prices up. Which is totally unprofessional and rude. Especially when you come in with the SUPPOSED AMOUNT OF CASH. BICYCLE TATTOO DOES THE SAME CRAP. BUT NICHOLAS GREEN FUCKED UP MY LAST TATTOO WHICH COST ME 400$.
DeleteSo i would skip both of these and go to Marvel tattoo.
@Alyssa: As you know, the tattoo process is extremely crucial. I'm sorry for your unfortunate experience. From personal experience, the people in this shop feel to me like they are a family. The death of Chris was a disaster, but the fact that they ALL stayed, kept the shop running, and changed the name for legal purposes says alot. I think you should personally stop by the shop and see for yourself, because you can only go by 'hear-say' for so long. Look at their portfolios that I linked in this post. They have more pictures in the shop of their work.. I really do suggest stopping in. They're all extremely cool and rock for sure! I trust them, fully.
