I'm 57 years old and my daughter recently talked me into getting my first tattoo when I came to NC to visit her. I was petrified, but she took me to Dean at First Impressions and he was wonderful!! He was gentle and patient with me even though I was a wreck. I have since gone back and taken my husband for his first tattoo, again seeing Dean. Now I am addicted to ink, as my daughter told me that I would be. Unfortunately, I live in NJ and now will have to visit NC when I want more ink. I can't imagine letting anyone other than Dean touch my body. He's the best!! Prices were great, design was perfect, he was gentle and I'm sure that I will be visiting First Impressions to see Dean again.
