I got my first tattoo at the Blue Flame, from Ray. When I went into the shop the first time to inquire about getting a tattoo, the first guy I talked to was kind of rude, for whatever reason. The second guy I talked to was Ray, and as it turned out, his portfolio was also my favorite. Ray was great. It was a simple tattoo, but colorful, and I trusted him to make sure it was better than I could have imagined on my own. He did a lovely job, and he was a very personable guy. Later, he gave me a touch up and the tattoo looked better than ever. Despite the rudeness of the first person I talked to, I still classify the Blue Flame as five stars. Several of my friends have gotten work done there by other artists (Christy and Mark), and it's always been wonderful. Many different kinds of people were coming in out of the shop the couple of times I was in there, and none of them appeared to be receiving poor treatment based on arbitrary social distinctions. They made me feel comfortable and didn't scoff at me or my tattoo idea. I will almost certainly be back.
Pros: Very reasonable pricing, pleasant staff
Cons: As in any customer-service environment, some employees are crabby
