I'm left to resort to a google review on my shady experience with This artist since she so blantaly chose to ignore my discomforts. I'll try and keep this short but there were many factors. I was introduced to mandi-ho by my husband who is one of her best clients and has been for the last 4 years. As much as he spends there he done helped get her a buisness from doing tats in her home, but that's another story. I was excited to meet and start with Amanda who does lovely work on my husband BUT Mandi-go was not. WHY? 1- she scolded me for being 10 mins EARLY to our 1st session and didn't have much time to draw, although hubby sent her my pics weeks in advance, she placed a bunch of google pics anyhow,no art from her. 2- she knew my discomforts after we started tatting seeing my leg would shake uncontrollably(which she handled well) but never offered to give me numbing cream or tell me in Advance when we do sensitive spots. 3- I went and found my own way of comfort and tried to prepare by using the numbing cream before I go, but being that it was a mystery on what we was doing, that never worked. What really caught my eye is how much time and communication she has with my husband but has no regard to me and a FULL COLORED leg tat I wanted,Little suspicion; but she won't clarify. She took my money and now chooses to Ignore me, I'll leave it up to your interpretation. This review is an EXACT depiction of her and how she handled my service, if your her homie, good for u, you will actually get some real work from her. Btw Amanda it was nice meeting and getting to know the real you.

Iβve now had two tattoos by Mandi Jo, with a third one already scheduled. She has been a true gift. She gave me exactly what I wanted. If youβre looking for skill and talent, professionalism and comfort..and just an overall positive experience..then she is your Girl !!

Mandi is a very talented. I just got my first tattoo and was a lil skeptical about the pain. She is a light handed gentle artist. We have a a work in progress and canβt wait to see more of her talent unfold. Very good experience and I would highly recommend her!βπ―ππΎ

I called for an appointment and within a week I had my desperately needed cover-up done due to a cancellation in the owner's schedule, A RARE OCCURRENCE so I was Elated. Not only was the work done effortlessly and with precision but it was done with gentleness and care as well. I have symmetry and perfect lines with no evidence that there was ever another tattoo in its place.
I contacted the owner another time for artwork to hang in my home to match a room I was redecorating. I gave her my color scheme and theme and again within a week I had the artwork I had 7 custom paintings to match the room perfectly.
Now I am patiently waiting for my Pooh Christmas ornament to complete my Christmas decorations for this year.
