Monkey Fist Tattoo

I am so glad that their are places like Yelp where you can leave honest review. Let me tell you my story.

After visiting a few shops I decided I liked the personal vibe of Monkey Fist and the owner, OG, seems to do decent affordable work. So I went in and made an appointment which was two months in the future. in the mean time I happily get some free work from Og/s (have NO idea what his real name is) apprentice Rochelle who was pretty nice to chat with. She however had no idea who Bowser was or anything about Mario but I provided numerous sources and tried my best to explain that I was looking for the Paper Mario style. Four painful hours later I had a partial Bowser that isn't that bad, but certainly wasn't the style I had printed out and requested. For free I wasnt going to complain and figured I would just have her finish the piece in her style no problem. I tipped decently and spread the word about her work. Was looking forward to bringing my brother in for some work, too. Upon further inspection Rochelle is good at her own designs which are simple line drawings. If you like that then she is the way to go. Anything else out of her comfort zone, not so much.

HERES WHERE IT GETS GOOD. The night before my long awaited appointment with OG, Rochelle calls to let me know my appointment needs to cancelled. Something about flights being cancelled. I was very bummed out but agreed to wait for OG to call  me the next day to reschedule. Night goes on and I go to bed. My husband, not me, posts on his own personal facebook without tagging anyone that he is bummed for me that my appointment got cancelled. Less than an hour later Monkey Fist post to their shop page, tagging my husband, that we are idiots and that he is a dumb FAGGOT. he seriously used that word. it was a weird drunk sounding ramble that was very negative and completely unwarranted. FB drama ensues but by the time I wake up in the morning to read it, it has been deleted and I have the clear impression that I am not welcome there anymore. Anyone else thinking WTF cause that's what I was thinking. No follow up call, return of my voicemails, emails or text messages. Unprofessional barely describes the behavior of this shop.

I am so glad they showed their true colors before I gave them my skin and money.

Poor service and they were pretty expensive.
