Highly recommend Art Monster, Tom exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I felt comfortable and taken care of. Tom was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented and great sense of humor. Everything was clean and well-organized, and the final result is absolutely beautiful. If you’re looking for quality work and a positive atmosphere with decent prices, this is the place to go.

I was so nervous to go to a new artist for a tattoo. I wanted to make sure that I was going to have the most accurate artist as possible for having such a sentimental meaning behind what I wanted. I am over impressed with how amazing Tom did on my tattoo. He was so kind and personable. He took what could have been a nerve racking experience and set me at ease. Everyone here does beautiful work, im sure, but Tom will forever be my go to guy. His attention to detail and accuracy is perfect.

I could not be happier with my experience at Art Monster with Chris Sabatino! If you are looking for a tattoo artist and studio, look no further. I am 46 years old. I had no ink and in less than 2 months Chris completed one of the most epic sleeve tattoos I have ever seen. The way he combined ultra realism, big bold lines and contrast and flowing detail showcases his talents. I brought him the concept of depicting the battle between the Archangel Michael and the dragon from Revelations 12. He nailed it! I wanted an angel but warrior stylized instead of the typical effeminate renaissance style of angel. The details he achieved in the armor, physique, helmet and wings are incredible. As for the dragon I wanted it to appear to have a definite shape and form and yet at the same time seem like it didn't actually have a physical body. Once again the details throughout the head to the holes in the wings are unbelievable. For the fill, I brought him concept art with filigree. But he suggested a different style of filigree that fit me so much better. The way it flows from my wrist to the back of my shoulder is awesome. It is also spectacular how it moves and accentuates my arm when I flex. Chris was able to schedule me on 3 sets of back to back days for a total of 6 sessions. He put in long days and I was able to get the whole sleeve project completed in under 2 months. Chris was quick to respond to my first inquiry, got me in quickly for a consultation and thankfully had pretty prompt availability! From the initial consultation to the final details being put into the tattoo I had full confidence in Chris Sabatino, that he would bring his best and exceed my expectations. He said, "Don't worry. I've got you." It was so important for me to be able to trust him throughout the process. Some of my favorite compliments so far are: - I don't know much about tattoos, but I know that is a nice one. - Is your tattoo artist famous? - That tattoo is gangster. - That looks expensive. - I love your art. If you want art in the form of a tattoo, this is the place.
