My beau and I went to Evan Kim at West 4 Tattoo last week to finally get the matching airplane tattoos we’ve been talking about getting forever.
Evan is kind, soft-spoken, patient, and meticulous. He is best known for his black-and-grey, fine-line, detailed, and micro tattoos. The airplane is the fourth tattoo Evan’s done for me and it probably won’t be the last!
Anyway, we each got this golden swag bag post-tattoo. Inside the pouch was everything we needed to take care of our new body art: aftercare instructions, A & D ointment, and unscented lotion. There were also stickers, Evan’s business card, and a really beautiful gift: a custom enamel pin, designed by the artist himself.
What an awesome example of setting yourself apart with branding and customer care!
I mean, adorable and super thoughtful, right? Most tattoo shops give you care instructions and maybe a packet of Aquaphor, but to make it into a care package with a gift? Genius. Going the extra mile (for a relatively small cost) really makes them stand out.
Thanks, Evan!
