Christina down there must not have communicated what she actually wanted to Darlene. I have been going to Darlene (and following her from studio to studio) over the last 13 years. She always delivers and the healing process of her work is never a problem. I just got a new piece last night from her and it is my favorite of all the other 14 she's done! :D Sometimes we just don't pick the right artist for the style we want. Not a reason to give 1 star-- maybe know how to communicate better and shop around. Also, it's a lie about not letting you check. She is excellent at placing tattoos but ALWAYS asks you to check in the mirror. Christina's review sounds more like regret than Darlene's "Bad work". Notice no pic was added lol Love Darlene AND peewee the bird lol :)

Darleen is amazing and talented. She will work with a client to assure you're happy with the artwork. I highly recommend her to friends and family. Very professional.

I cannot say enough about Darlene. Professionalism and cleanliness are priorities and she is definitely top tier. Now let's talk about her work. Beautiful lines, her use of color is brilliant, I get compliments daily. I am so happy with her tattoos, I have even had her fix some other tattoos I have that were sub par and she brought them to life!! Go see her and you will not be disappointed!
