Pride Tattoo

I was visiting South Beach, Miami for the Exxxotica Miami convention May 8 – 10. I met Jorge Pedraza, one of the talented artists at Pride’s Tattoo during the convention. After talking about my desire to get a tattoo during my visit, he offered to open up the shop after hours to accommodate my hectic schedule during the show. And that he did…
It’s nice to receive «star» treatment from time to time, but Jorge and Pride’s Tattoo really went above and beyond for me. Customer service is definitely on the stop of their priorities list.
Jorge took the time to help me find exactly what I wanted, the created a custom design that not only fit the area that I was looking to cover, (a surgical scar from Ovarian Cancer 5 years ago,) but also helped me reach a decision on something that was both elegant and dainty, (exactly what I was looking for,) to cover a sizable area. He re-​drew the design on me several times until I was happy with the outcome, and was quite patient with my indecisiveness and desires.
As for the shop itself, the layout was spacious, the equipment sterile, and the environment clean and inviting. I went back in the afternoon the following day to pick up my cellphone charger and there were a few people hanging out… but it was still someplace I would have felt comfortable as a woman.
There are posters of some of their celebrity clients hanging about the shop, and despite their status, you don’t feel like you are being price gouged walking out the door.
I definitely would recommend a visit to Pride’s Tattoo if you are looking to add some ink during a visit to South Beach!
