After two consecutive HORRIBLE consults at Think Tank, I walked up to BNW and setup a consult with Chase. The dude was so inviting and personable, and so energetic he made me feel totally comfortable. Plus his work is AMAZING!. I told him the exact same thing I told the Think Tank guys - I have an idea for a half - 3/4 sleeve of some flowers for my sisters and deceased grandparents with some sort of design flow to it, but I view my tattoos as a collaboration between my ideas and whatever the professional artist feels would be the best piece of artwork (they do know best). Unlike the Think Tank guys who kept saying they need more direction and more information, Chase immediately took hold of the prospect and started talking about all kinds of different things we could do. He took the time to look through his portfolio with me to get a sense of what I like and don't like, and really listened to what I was saying. I sent him some pics of the flowers I wanted, and in a few weeks drew up the most amazing piece with a little Japanese influence of windbars and outlining. It was beyond my greatest expectations!! I had my 1st of 3 sessions ealrier this week and I gotta say - and this is the most important factor for me - that was hands down the best ink session I have ever had. Chase was personable the whole time, super professional and kept me at ease. He could tell when the pain was minimal and was talkative, and when doing the shoulder cap continually made sure I was doing alright. On top of all this, the other dudes in the shop made the atmosphere remarkable; everyone was friendly and jovial and made me feel very much at ease. I can't wait to get this thing finished and after investigating numerous shops in Denver (which was a headache), I recommended Brave New World to any person I talk to. I am very excited to say that Chase will be my personal artist for every tattoo I get for as long as I live in Denver. Thank you so much guys - this is a HUGE weight off my shoulders!
