Lana has done several tats on me and Tim has pierced me...Not only are they extraordinary at what they do, they are absolutely amazing people. There were never any awkward moments...and I didn't feel like I had to have a friend with me to talk to because as soon as you walk in the door all the employees are your friend. It's like your at home (only cleaner) hangin with friends you've known for years. \r

The shop is a mix of O.R. cleanliness and museum worthy artwork. You can tell they put a lot of thought into everything all the way down to the lights. And what other tat shop have you been to where the the art is actually framed rather than in clustered together in a bunch of swingin poster frames? All this tells me, they love what they do. \r

Lana is an exceptional artist-she can take a plain jane idea and turn it into something you would never have imagined! It's incredible. \r
On the other hand, if you show her exactly what you want she'll do that too. no questions asked. And I know its difficult not to make things better when you're an artist. :-) \r

I live in San Antonio so when I want some work done, I hop in my car, book one of the cheap hotels right down the street and go straight to the shop. \r
\r
Oh!!! and they even have filtered water for their patrons! How freakin cool AND eco-friendly is that?!!!\r

All-in-all: I'll never go anywhere else, no matter where I live. Before I went to Virtue Tattoo I thought I was done with ink, but I've had to reconsider that one!! ;-p
