My experience with Sid with my dark tower themed sleeve has been the best experience I've ever had, and a good thing too because we spent over a year designing and executing this tat. First, he was familiar with the series as a graphic novel and interested in fantasy designs. Not a lot of people know about the dark tower series so that was a surprisingly big hurdle. He did more background work than I expected and even began listening to the series on audiobook, which was way cool. Next, this sleeve was a mix of specific elements I wanted and then whatever artistic freedom I could afford and I hardly ever disagreed with Sid's ideas. He really captured the theme of the sleeve and made it into a real work of art. I am not an artistic person so I was real glad to have an artist who could put in that spark that it needed. Finally, Sid's tattooing is super easy, he's very considerate and made every session as easy as expected even when working on some sensitive areas. He's also a super cool dude to hang out with for 4-5 hours at a time.
Overall, 10/5 stars. I can't wait to go back. The pics are of some of my favorite details. The doorway, the gun, ka and the tower.
TLDR; Sid rocks.
