I would highly recommend NOT going here for a tattoo.
If i could give this place no stars, I would... Unprofessional. I made an appointment with John, put down a deposit, and we went over the sketch I had for my tattoo. The day of my appointment, John showed up 2 hours late, didn't even apologize, and took his time smoking a cigarette. He had NO sketch done, not even started. He spent the next 2 hours sketching my tattoo, taking 4 or 5 smoke breaks. I should have just walked away at that point. John seemed to have no concern whatsoever for me, he sat outside smoking and talking to his coworkers.
Once the tattoo got started, it was 4:30pm, my appointment was at noon. It took John 5 and a half hours to do my tattoo; I wouldn't mind if the work took that long, but most of the time John stood outside taking smoke breaks and talking to his coworkers and on his phone.
John wrapped up my tattoo, but said that it wasn't done and that he needed to add highlights and some more details, but he would have to charge me more. I had already paid $500. When I was getting ready to leave, annoyed and exhausted, John asked me for a ride home.
I followed every instruction for caring for my tattoo that John had told me, and by the next month, the lines were blurred and faded. My experience wouldn't upset me so much if I ended up with a beautiful tattoo, but every time I look in the mirror I cringe. I won't go back to get it "fixed" just to be charged more and be treated like garbage. Now I am left with an awful tattoo and will have to go spend more money by a professional to get it fixed.
This place was not only hospitable but they did a great job talking me through my tattoo idea. I drew something up and he made sure to ask a lot of questions about it fixing me up. I love my tattoo and Wito was great to me and my family. I am definitely coming back to get my other work done right. Â Also, they were decently priced. Not too cheap to be suspicious and they were not trying to milk me and my husband for all that we're worth. They were so so friendly. I cannot express enough how happy I am with them. The wait, the cash, the pain, all of it was worth it.
Oh, and I got my vch pierced here too by Julz and he was completely professional and respectful of my husband and I's wishes. If I cook up anything else needing piercing I know where to go.
This place is amazing! Â
I went with my cousin to get a tattoo here. Â
His tattoo (although I was only there for part of it being done, but is now complete) Â is really amazing. Â I rarely see portrait tattoos come out well, but he had one done of his daughters face, and the shading and structure is quite frankly breath taking. Â
The parlor itself is great, even a yuppie like me felt comfortable because everyone was so nice. Â No one acted annoyed by the 1 million and ten questions that i asked (even though i wasn't even buying anything) Â another huge plus was how sterile everything was (obviously this is the only option right?)
I HIGHLY suggest this place ;)
K, this place blows. Cheap? yes. Good? Hell No.
I got my nose pierced here and they pierced me in the wrong place, right up against my face so it looked more like a speck of dirt than a piercing. I took it out less than an hour later because i couldnt bear looking at it. When I went somewhere else for a decent piercing, they were like "oh yea i can see where they pierced you, your skin is stained from the nickel in the jewelery they used." hooray!
they did offer to re-do it at no charge when I called them, but i didnt trust them enough to go back.
