I'm not sure how any of the other artists are but Kris Busching at Skin Deep Tattoo is an absolute egotistical douche bag. Â I attempted to contact him for a memorial rose tattoo to which I never received a reply. Â Months later I contacted him again and got this response:
"Yea I don't really have time draw roses for people who might want to get it .to book an appt with me its a 200 dollar deposit and 1000-1500 for all my peices .i book appts with clients who are ready and serious about getting tattooed .all tattoos are from photo reference .what u see is what u get " Â
I replied that I was very serious and that this tattoo had great meaning in memory of my grandmother who has been gone for 10 years now and I said most tattoo artists draw up what they are going to tattoo on a person before they do it. Â So I asked if he only copies pictures rather than drawing his own work? Â This was his next reply:
"I don't tattoo first timers .they are always a pain in the ass .lemme know how ur rose tattoo comes out,because only people who tattoo like me are in cali sweety .good luck;)"
First of all, nice spelling and grammar. Â Second, wow. Â Like I originally said; what an egotistical douche bag. Â I will never step foot in Skin Deep or recommend it just because he's there. Â I guess I'll be planning a trip to California and getting tattooed by the people who placed higher than him at the United Ink convention.
Went there last week after a recommendation from a friend. I got a medium sized tattoo on my rib and my friend got a small wrist tattoo. Â Debbie did both pieces and is truly a talented artist! I'll definitely be returning for another and would recommend Debbie and Skin Deep to anyone.
