The Backdoor Studio

I got a tattoo here a year and a half ago of Roman numerals on the back of my neck– the pricing on it was definitely good at 60 $. The artist was charging 60 an hr. I never liked my tattoo after I got it. It does not look centered– though I did bring a friend who said it was centered. Some of the Roman numerals had thicker lines than the others. Some of them had ball points where you can tell where the tattoo artists left off at to continue his work– it was a sloppy job. There are bumps here and there when you run your fingers along the tattoos and it had been since the day I got it. I was hoping it would go away, but it never did. I took a picture of it a couple times and they are not keloids that healed over. They are scars on the ballpoints I believe from him pushing the tattooing gun too hard. Overall, his tattooing was not very consistent on me.

PJ is calm, patient and knowledgeable. He’s been tattooing for years and seen and done it all. Excellent line work, clean shop and a no bullshit attitude. I would recommend him for anyone looking to add to their collection or looking for someone to do their first tattoo.

PJ is the best.
A very kind and soft spoken man with a gentle hand.
This is my 5^th tattoo he has done. I won’t go anywhere else.
He has been in the same location for 30 years.

My wife and I both purchased a LivingSocial deal to Backdoor Studio. We were both tattoo virgins, so we were nervous about the process. PJ was great and put us both at ease. He’s very nice and professional and walked us through the process step by step. Most importantly, we love our tattoos! PJ has awesome skills and his portfolio clearly demonstrates his ability to tattoo in ANY style. If/​when we’re ready for additional tattoos in the future, we’ll definitely be returning to Backdoor Studio and seeing PJ again.

I bought a Living Social deal for Backdoor Studio and I was skeptical buying a tattoo off Living Social, so I went on Unilocal and checked out the reviews and from what I saw on here made me feel so much better about my decision to go here!
P.J was so nice and professional, he has been tattooing for 40 years, and the studio has been there for 28 years! You know your doing something right if you can stay in business for that long now a days! I LOVE my tattoo:) And if the owner’s dog lay’s on the person you came with foot, you know he like you too!

Absolutely love PJ (he’s the owner) and have never been disappointed. My last tattoo was a family of sugar skulls and I had a few ideas of what I wanted, he brought it to life. My fiancé, dad, mom and grandpa all go here and were all very happy with his work!

I haven’t been tattooed in close to 10 years, lucky for me a friend told me about a Living Social promo that was being offered. I looked up the shop first and found PJ English, I was cautious about buying something that is going on my skin at a discounted rate so I looked up his work. I was impressed and decided to go for it and I’m so glad I did, I found an artist I will be visiting soon thanks to LS this is a shop. I highly recommend you go see PJ English, really easy going, animal lover and an amazing artist. Thank you again PJ see you soon!
