Marked For Life

I had some work done at this location over the summer. My artist was Laz. I gave him the concept and he ran with it. A realistic sugar skull with traditional roses as the background. I couldn’t be happier. He’s an exceptional tattoo artist. I actually had the chance to see some of his works on canvas… He’s just a dope artist in general. I browsed through some of the other artists portfolios as well. This shop definitely has no shortage of talent. I WILL be returning for my next project.

I had work done about 5 – 6 years ago, at this location (with hector). Loved it!!! It was a medium-​small size tat, paid about $ 70.
Came back a few weeks ago, for something less than half the size of previous work, and was told $ 80 — cash only-​. I understand that prices have increased since the last time I was there, but I feel that, that’s a pretty huge increase.
I found out hector is working at a different location, going to pass by there and see what’s up. He does great work, will go with him, for sure!

Went to get my first tattoo today at Chicos Marked for life (Tamiami Airport location) left with nothing but a sour taste in my mouth…
The artist:
GOOPMASSTA was a real nice guy and had the best intentions to give me exactly what I wanted…
The Service:
Horrendous!!! Worst than a McDonalds at 3AM. The artist was still drawing a sketch of my tattoo and they (Some guy named Asaad and friends) were asking for me to pay because they wanted to close the register at 8PM on a Friday night. Their closing time is 10PM! Maybe its cause I was a first timer and I don’t know the routine, but who in their right mind would pay for a tattoo before the artist is even done sketching it???
Left with nothing done, bitter, and feeling sorry for the artist helping me who lost his client because everyone else was unprofessional and in a hurry to go party.
Bottom line: I absolutely DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. Everyone there seemed pretentious and rude.

Is my favorite place to go get Tattoos, the artists are very talented and give good customer service and if I need something modified they suggest pretty neat ideas. I suggest you go! My favorite artist at the shop is Chevas if you want to check his artwork.

I Started Looking For a tattoo shop so i can get my first tattoo, in all honesty i didnt know where to start looking for one either. (I Hadn’t Discovered Unilocal At The Beginning of this Year Yet, would of helped a lot). My Manager actually refered me here, i wasnt convinced until he showed me the Huge Piece he has on his back. Thats when i decided to go take a look since they did a good job on his back Piece tattoo. So before i went i did my research online, and made sure they were trust worthy and made sure they use sterile Equipment and New Equipment that is required to Put ink on your skin. Once That was Checked i finally decided to pass By and started talking to one of the artist here and told him exactly what i wanted and what my ideas where. He Started showing me his portfolio and i was convinced to have my Tattoo Started. The Artist told me since it was short notice, it would take him 3 – 4 days to come up with a sketch, since he had other sketches for other clients to make.
He Proceeded By calling me 2 days later, 2 days Earlier then anticipated. Told me to come in and take a Look at the Sketch, First sketch he drew was the Final One. It was Exactly everything i had in Mind, So Off he goes! BZZZZZZ … Oh S*t, this was my first Tattoo and it wasnt a small one either so i had a reason to be nervous. LOL
Once he touched me with the Needle, There was no way i was turning back. All honesty it hurt at first but i got use to it quickly, The Artist (Mark a.k.a. Big Boi) Was On top of me making sure i was ok, asking me if i wanted to drink water, asking me if i needed to go to the bathroom, and telling me to let him know when i want a break. Just making sure i was comfortable, it went on for about 2 months since i would get out of work late and he would only be able to get 4 hours in each session, and had to give it some time to heal to put color in so he can see exactly how it was coming out after the healing.
After he was complete, i was just super happy i was done only thing is i wish he would of use a little more color on the fish. Well he offered me at the end if i wanted color i can go back at anytime … I might just go today! …
I would put 5 stars if they would accept Credit Cards, But Besides all that … The Staff is Super Friendly In Bird Rd. and Miller Drive. They Have a couple of location setup around in Miami. In The Miller Shop they have A HUGE, BUT I MEAN HUGE Selections of Belly Button Rings For the Ladies. Same Goes for other jewlery Gauged Earrings, Tongue Piercings, Eyebrows … You name it! Checked them out at either one of their 3 locations
–Bird Rd.
–West Kendall (Miller Drive)
–Tamiami Airport
Someday I would Definetly Go back here for a piercing or Tattoo … What am i talking about im going back today!

I recently got my first tatoo at Chico’s Marked For Life. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and had decided to get tatoos. We asked around Miami and found Chico’s recommended by several people. We walked in and were happily greeted in a professional manner. Our tatoo artist personally designed our tatoo for us and modified it as we requested. She was efficient, reasonably priced and thorough. This was my first tatoo and she helped to keep me from getting nervous! She’s also done tatoos for celebrities and muscians… her portfolio is fully of a wide variety of tatoo styles. Props to Chico’s for sure!
Parking is limited in their little lot, so make sure you get there with plenty of time to find street parking if necessary. They take walk-​ins or appointments.
