First Class Tattoo

This place is a joke!!   Stopped in to look at some portfolio's and the kid was only concerned about when I was getting it done! I told him within a year, I needed to decide how I want it done! He then told me to go decide and come back in a year! I was shocked, then when I showed him a pic for some advice, he then said, " is that what you want, let's do it". I said no I need to figure out how I want it . He then told me to get out!! This time, a little mad, I handed him his card back and he told me to get the F*** out!!  Now that is customer service! I feel sorry for the people who work with this guy, because he is costing you money!! Good luck.

So my best friend and I went there to get our first tattoos.  We had begun to talk about price but I was more concerned with the piece.  When we decided we wanted to go with them we paid a deposit (which I knew was non-refundable), but assumed I could negotiate price when the appt came (since I knew he was way over charging).  I sent him an email that night requesting to negotiate on price but "he didn't get it."  When we came in to sign papers and I tried to negotiate price again he refused to hear any of it, said that I KNEW that was the set price b/c I paid the deposit and I said No, because you never said that and we didn't sign or agree to anything.  I was ready to walk away, but my friend didn't think it was worth the argument.  I believe I probably paid 2x what I should have.

The only reason, this place isn't getting 1 star (which is what I would have given for having no shame in taking advantage of their customers) is because unlike the manager he was really nice.  Eric is a great job on the tattoo!  I really appreciated how his face lit up when he realized we liked his work (so he actually cares about making you happy and doing a good job).  He answered all my questions and was really patient with my indecisive friend who literally asked the same question like 5x.  Also, the place was really clean and we saw how everything was deposable one time use.

So if you're fine with REALLY over paying for your tattoo for a patient and awesome artist, and you're fine with dealing with a pushy sales guy this is a place for you.  Trade-offs I guess... :(

I don't know about their skill, but I can tell you the customer service leaves much to be wanted.  I walked in this afternoon looking to get my first piece and the girl behind the counter (totally sitting there like she's too good for the world) not only didn't say hello, look up or even acknowledge me standing there, but it was totally obvious she knew I was there.  This, ladies and gentelemen, is why I'm SO over SoBe.

After deciding I work too hard to resort to begging her highness to speak to me, I simply grabbed my things, walked out the door and went to the next place.
