Blue Lotus Tattoos

I don't even know the persons name who tattooed me so you can only imagine the connection we had...actually I believe his name was Marc. Anyway made a one sitting appointment for a side tattoo fairly large. Quoted me $400 for finished product which was cool but then what do you know! At the end of my session (he just had another appointment coming in) he told me to come back to finish it and charged me $500!!!! Half finished tattoo for $500 PLUS A TIP when you told me $400. Ass. All they care about is their money there. Also I need to get various parts covered cause he can't tattoo a straight line or realistic things I guess.

I was not at all impressed by the service or friendliness of the staff. When I showed James the tattoo I had drawn based off of a Pinterest tattoo idea, he was very condescending and rudely said he wouldn't do it because it was copying someone else's tattoo. He said he would only do it if he could redraw it. I felt very taken aback and embarrassed that I had even asked. I tried to give him a second chance, and said that would be fine if he redrew it. Then he asked where I wanted it. I told him on my foot and he immediately said "No, I won't do it." He said it would get washed out which was good to know, but when I asked where he would recommend instead so it wouldn't get washed out, he again spoke very sharply and rudely saying he couldn't tell me that because it wasn't his body. I had no idea where to put the tattoo so it wouldn't wash out since it would have been my first tattoo. Finally he suggested some places after making me want to walk out. I thought the consultation was supposed to be helpful and informative, not a rude person telling me I couldn't get my tattoo anywhere. I was still considering getting the tattoo, but to top it off, when I called and said I had spoken to James about getting my tattoo and would like to set up an appointment, they told me James was not a tattoo artist.  I don't know why James talked to to me about doing my tattoo if he was not in fact the one who would tattoo me. I finally just gave up on getting my tattoo after that because I was wasting my time.

This place used to be the go to place for piercings. This has definitely changed. All of their good piercers and tattoo artists left. The people that are being hired to replace them are so not up to the reputation Blue Lotus has gotten over the years. If you want to find the people who made this place great, look around. They're not hard to find. Some are even just down the street. Hopefully word will get out about how bad this place has gotten before too many people get messed up tattoos and piercings. When it comes to stuff  like this, you want the best not the quick find replacements for the best.
