First of all thank you to -->Roxanne Guenette for your post as i feel very comfortable at this time for my future appointment with Chris. after the phone call I just had with him (which he returned my call within 10 mins) he sounds EXACTLY how you explained in your review. :) so thank you very much, as that gave me a little more reassurance.
I had my very first tattoo done at this establishment almost 10 years ago and still looks amazing today! :) also had a pricing done as well, which went over great no infection healed perfectly. (I have an autoimmune disorder so I tend to get infections easily) that piercing was the only one out of the many i have to NOT get infected!)
so of course I chose to go here when last minute I wanted to surprise the love of my life with his name. This was my first time at the new location. The tattoo was quickly done, & a lot less painful then I expected. Everything was done professionally. They were very respectful & patient with me as I walked in not completely knowing what font I wanted ect.
After the tattoo I was so excited to go home and show my partner, I missed some things with it that i wasn't very fond of. I was told by other tattooist & friends to wait for it to heal and see how I feel. still not completely satisfied, I called in today to speak with either Rob owner, or Chris management. I spoke with Chris & he was also very professional, polite and understanding. Offered to see me as early as tomorrow, also very generously offered to amend the situation. which I am very grateful for.
The shop appearance, and staff I would give 5/5 (new shop is very nice and CLEAN)
Professionalism 5/5
Phone calls/questions/timely manor in which calls were returned 5/5!!!
so once I meet with Chris and finish my piece, I will do an update!!! :)
SIDE NOTE
"google user" no matter what your email is (gmail,outlook,hotmail ect) your able to sign in and put your name beside it. by writing a nasty complaint (which i find very hard to believe because 10 years ago until now they have great customer service) is just a cowardly thing to do. Your review is more then likely fabricated or not even true at all. I personally do not believe "anonymous/user" posts because in most cases its ridiculously false postings and some cases people trying to up sell there business. SO ANYONE LOOKING AT THESE REVIEWS I personally would only pay any attention to those who have there name attached :)

The first time I went, they were friendly enough and the experience wasn't bad. When I went back to get a larger side piece, the artist I had booked my appointment with was unavailable or didn't come in that day, so I was given another guy who brought his girlfriend to work and spent the entire time he was tattooing me talking to her and ignoring me. On top of just gossiping away while he was working, he did a bad job. There's scaring and he definitely tattooed too deep in multiple places. If you want a simple piece like tribal or script, this would be an alright shop, but if you want anything more intricate and with better quality, I would definitely find some other place to get your tattoo done.
