I’ve gotten a few emails from readers asking do I actually like the work done at the Hornet’s Nest or am I just saying that because I know them. First off, I don’t know these people other than the fact I trust them to tattoo me. It’s not like Billy Noel and me have Poker Night every Friday over at his place. Second, do you not pay attention to my work on this site? I am always honest with you people. What I say is how I feel. Thirdly, yes, I love the work the Hornet’s Nest does. That is why I am a repeat customer.
(Billy Noel, co-owner)
Billy has done four tattoos on me. He’s very hard to book. It normally takes at least two months to book an appointment with him. That’s because he’s that good. Don’t believe me, ask him. He will remind you of why he’s better than you, your dad and every tattoo artist he knows. He looks like a dude that would kill you for a dime. Don’t let his looks fool you. The man knows the craft well. He is speedy and most important, accurate. He is one of the best. Trust me, I pay him top dollar for great work.
(Brandon Blair, co-owner)
Brandon has also done four tattoos on me. Brandon is very friendly and fun to chat with. He has a great sense of humor and will share some funny tattoo stories with you. I like seeing him get mad when a fellow tattoo artist gets to tattoo a hot chick and he’s stuck with me. Brandon takes good care of repeat customers. He’s always willing to work with what you can or can’t afford.
(Boomer)
Like Billy, Boomer had tattooed me many years before The Hornet’s Nest. Boomer has done two tattoos on me. One is 11 years-old and still has a near perfect shade of yellow to it. He is currently working on a design for me. Boomer’s technique is much less painful than other artists who have tatted me. Like Billy, he is also very quick and accurate.
(Chris Weddle)
I won’t lie. Mr. Weddle has never tatted me. However, I have seen some of his work first-hand. I would trust him in a heartbeat to tat me. He is very skilled and can tat with the best of them. If you want A+ work, he can get it done.
(Tammi Butler)
I only have my ears pierced and that was many, many years ago. I have seen people get pierced by Tammi and everyone came out looking normal. If you ever call The Hornet’s Nest, more than likely she will answer. She is very friendly, calls everyone “Hun” and always sweet. Even though I am not into piercings, I had to post her due to the fact she is so lovely.
Listen, I love the work done at the Hornet’s Nest. I have future work getting done there. Trust me; if I thought they sucked, I would go elsewhere. I’m not claiming other shops don’t do great work. I just believe why fix something that’s not broken? I have gotten quality work there and seen great work done on a couple of friends. If you don’t believe me, go there yourself and see for yourself. I have a feeling you will like the finish product.
