While I have gotten several tattoos at the Main Street Oddity (in Sarasota, Fla.), I followed artist Will Ralston to the new University location to handle part two of a half-sleeve piece on my upper arm. First of all, the shop is beautiful! While the exterior signage makes it a little tough to find (but only the first time), the interior is modern, immaculate, and full of dramatic artwork. (Wait till you see the bathroom, which is adorned with an incredible octopus mural by Will!) He is a true artist: his artwork is gorgeous and skilled, and he really brings the concept to life on skin. He is also very friendly as well as considerate about asking if you're OK or if you need a break. I'm thrilled with my new ink and getting tons of compliments wherever I go. Highly recommend Oddity if you're considering a new tattoo!

I purchased a Groupon for a hardcover photo book from Collage.com. I found the layout tool to be somewhat unwieldy but put together what I thought was a very nice book. Upon checking out, I found that Collage.com recoups its earnings on the Groupon deal through shipping - I was charged $30 to send three books to the same address. I think it's outrageous and disingenuous to operate that way. Upon chatting with a "customer service" rep, found her to be unhelpful and even a bit snarky about my concern. Will never shop at this site again.
