Hey! Hi Smooth! Hi Smooth, Big thanks to you, and all who are serving, in the spirit of freedom. - Smooth Hey Smooth! Just thought I would let you know that the tattoo is healing perfectly and very fast! I absolutely love it and so does everyone else. I can't wait to come show you it when it's completely healed and get my next one started. Thank you SO much for making it perfect and so realistic. It's badass! Hey brother just wanted to drop you a line about my newest tattoo. Once again you out did yourself with the portrait of Ashlin! Nothing but praise from everyone who has seen it! I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your friendship. Not only are you my tattoo guy, but more importantly, your a great friend and person. Once again thank you so much for EVERYTHING! God bless and hope to see you soon! Sean Beaudry This is a review copied from localsearch.com My best trophy ever...
Hey Smooth,
First of all, I expect this letter to be posted on your home page, at least for a little while, instead of being buried in your kudos file. I read your article on the Green Bay show and feel I need to tell "The Rest of the Story". You are waaaaaay to modest. Sara showed her back piece, of the Aurora Borealis and the judges went nuts. She was invited backstage by 2 magazines for photo shoots, had her piece photographed by a European photographer, and received numerous compliments when she returned to the crowd. No award. I showed my Dennis the Menace piece, and again, the judges had a ball with it. I was photographed coming off the stage and was told by my wife that I was the only cartoon to have that honor. Again, no award. After the competition was over, one of the judges ( Jeremy Youngman ) made a special effort to find Sara and talk to her. Sara introduced him to Smooth and Jeremy was almost apologizing for Sara not winning an award. He had very high praise for Smooth's work. Jeremy then turned to me and said "Dennis the Menace; right?" He said he really liked certain details of my piece. Smooth told him the effect we were trying achieve and Jeremy asked, "You did this one too?" Again, nothing but high praise for the work. Jeremy said, if it would have been up to him, I would have won an award also. Smooth, you have told me that the awards are nice, but not important. It's how the customer feels about the piece. Compliments are more important than trophies. Well, I just want your clients, fans, and friends to know the high praise you receive from your peers. Well... Thank you Dennis. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do this letter; not to mention traveling so far for this convention, in a winter storm no less. I am very fortunate to have such great clients. Inkfully, |

Good morning |

Hey Smooth! Smooth, Thank you so very much for the beautiful work you did for us. The professionalism you and your staff display is second only to your God given talents; of which you should be very proud. We show our artwork to everyone we know, and everyone has said how beautiful both works are. Don't be surprised if you see us again, wanting another piece done. Thank you very much, Smooth, I just wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying my tattoo. If someone had told me a year ago that at age 43 I would get my first tattoo I never would have believed them, but now my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.While those who know me are initially shocked that I have a tattoo, I've gotten nothing but compliments on it and how great it looks. The most surprising thing to me is how it makes me feel about myself and how much more comfortable I am with my self since I've gotten "inked". It has really been a very liberating experience and I'm looking forward to having more work done. I've already got some thoughts on what I would like you to do next. Take care and thanks, Tom August 21, 2007 Smooth, I thought after having you do my third tattoo, you deserve a huge thank you and just having you know how much I truly appreciate you doing nothing less than perfect. I still love every tattoo as much as the day I was inked. You have always made me feel comfortable and I always have a great time shoot'n the <manure> with you and catching up. Who doesn't love sarcasm? Besides being an excellent artist and a man of many talents, you are an all around great man with a warm heart. Thank you so much for leaving me with great, permanent memories. Always, Emily Smooth, Just a note to thank you for the great job you did on my tattoo! My boys were impressed #1, that mom got a tattoo and #2, for what I chose. The bear and the hat is awesome and really means a lot to me. A constant reminders of my 'babies" (even if they are in their 30's!).The whole experience was delightful from beginning to end. It didn't hurt as much as I feared! And it healed beautifully. The only night it was sore was the first. You were right, I got a lot of unsolicited advice from people on how to care for it. HOWEVER, I followed your instructions to the letter and would recommend others to do the same! Feel free to use me as a reference, especially for the 'older' crowd! I have told everyone who will listen how great the experience was, and hope you get a lot of new customers because of it! Thanks again! Linda Riley-Wilkins - Spring Green, WI Hey Smooth: I just wanted share something with you. I had to get an x-ray of my foot. The technician stopped what she was doing to say, "Wow what a beautiful tattoo!"She said it was so beautiful and soft looking, it distracted her from her job. Just writing you this to say, "GOOD JOB!" It really is beautiful. In case you don't remember, I had this done at the tattoo party in Juneau a couple of months ago. Clara - Juneau, WI Smooth, Just a note to thank you for the great job you did on my tattoo! My boys were impressed #1, that mom got a tattoo and #2, for what I chose. The bear and the hat is awesome and really means a lot to me. A constant reminders of my 'babies" (even if they are in their 30's!).The whole experience was delightful from beginning to end.

Linda Riley-Wilkins - Spring Green, WI Smooth, Thank you so very much for Sat afternoon - Karen and I had a fantastic time. She was very impressed with your professionalism, the awesome "fun" you brought to her tattoo, and your huge artistic ability (I had already told her all this, but she needed to see it herself). She absolutely loves it (you did such an awesome job). Mine is doing great too! I love it! As always, you did a fantastic job for both myself and my friend, made our "girls day out" over the top. I wish I could verbalize my thanks and appreciation properly. I could go on and on about how special I think you are, but you already know. Heidi - Portage, WI Hey Smooth, Glad to see you are still in the vacinity! Especially since I recommend your work to everyone. I've gotten so many compliments on my tattoos, people are really impressed with the one on my back! Hope all is well with you and yours. See you soon. Jerilynn - Madison, WI Smooth, I wanted to thank you for the great work you did on my tattoo! It's my best one yet, and I'm sure I'm not finished getting more. I've had 2 tattoos done here in Vegas where I live, and yours is the by far the best. Whenever I'm in Wisconsin and itching for another tattoo, I'll be knocking on your door! Cat Seals - Las Vegas, NV Smooth, My tattoo has healed beautifully. Thanks! I saw my pics on the rework page, too cool. If you are in the Orlando area let me know I'm sure I can round up some business. Sincerely, Kristina - Orlando, FL P.S. Check out my site http://clineextreme.250free.com/ Smooth, Thanks for the note. We appreciate your support and wicked ass tat work! ;) I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my tattoo (well, I could, but that would be one seriously long email). Believe it or not, it makes me a happier person every day when I look at it!I'll never forget when we came in there the first time and were talking about location of the work, etc. Then right before you started in on my arm, you asked me if I was sure this was what I wanted to do.... I'll never forget this. I don't think I've had more conviction about many things in my life than what I wanted for a tattoo, and where I wanted it. Thanks again. Happy holidays to you and yours. Chris Funk - Madison, WI Follow up letter: Chris Funk - Madison, WI Hey Smooth, I LOVE the tattoo you did last Friday of my dog! I mean I LOVE it. Oh is was sore...but being the tough guy I am I lived! ;-) Not one scab formed and I'm taking care of it just like you said. Yesterday it peeled like sunburn and today that seems to have stopped. Again, I can't put into words how much I like this...everyone who has seen it has been so impressed. Steve Evans |
