So it took me a while to write this review because I don't have names to go along with my experience but felt my bad experience was important to share.
1/ We arrive 15 minutes early to appointment as requested by Ca-coi.(if I spelled this right). Â He is not there... found out he had an emergency and wasn't coming in.
(It would have been nice to receive a phone call to reschedule prior to us showing up). Â
2/ So Tattoo guy one, try's to find someone to help me. Â He notices that tattoo guy two is out in his truck and goes outside to find out if he has time to do my tattoo.
They spend at least 5 to 10 minutes chatting it up while I wait inside.
Tattoo guy one comes in and says.. he has time to do it, he will be right in.
3/ In the meantime while I am waiting, the men inside the store talk about how tattoo guy two lives far, sleeps in his truck and that he left his truck over night from partying the night before. Â (loosing confidence now).
4/ After about 15 more minutes of waiting, tattoo guy two gets out of his truck and walks next door to the bar. Â I get up because 1/It was rude to keep me waiting, and 2/ I am no longer confident in tattoo guy two. Â I tell tattoo guy one that I was leaving...
5/ Tattoo guy two comes in, hair all disheveled, and is like.. okay what you got?
So I show him my art work of the tattoo I have. Â He looks at it and says.. hmm okay.. $300. (I was originally quoted $150 because my art work was easy and it would only take about an hour to complete.)
I ask, "why so much? Â I have had bigger tattoos for less?"
Tattoo guy two replies: "Then you can go somewhere else to pay less, but I will do shading and all that extra stuff."
I reply: "I don't want any shading or extra stuff.. i want it as is.. copy and paste then tat!"
He replies: "Well do you want it or not?"
I reply: "No!", then turn around and walk out.
I have actually had work done here before by Patrick.. he did a good job last time but no longer works here.
I decided to go back to Perfection Tattoo.. Shawn did my work for $100 because he charges by the hour, and like i said, it only took an hour to do my tattoo.
I recommend Shawn from Perfection Tattoo over these guys any day!
