I was on vacation in Gulf Shores and decided I wanted another tattoo. I called them on Thursday night and asked them if I needed an appt to come in. He said no. When I first went in, on Friday, the day after having called them, the girl behind the counter (the owner's daughter, she was proud to let me know) asked me what I wanted. I told her that I had an idea that needed an artist to sketch, rather than look at pictures. She advised me that, when you come to a tattoo parlor, the first thing you want to do is look at all the pictures of designs on the walls then look at the artist's portfolio and choose from there or get ideas. I told her that I already had an idea, I just needed an artist. She told me again that the only portfolio available at that moment was her dad's, and she didn't know where the other portfolios were, but maybe I should walk around and look at the pictures on the walls. I already had five tattoos when I walked in the place...I think I'm familiar with what to do when you walk into a tattoo parlor. Sheesh!!! After that, I was told that the owner had an appt due in any minute and the other artist there was asked if he could do my tattoo, and he said no, he was going to go to lunch and if I wanted to come back at 4:00p (it was 12:30p at that moment), he would see if he could do it then, or I could come back tomorrow. I was leaving town on Saturday, so I told them no, I'd just go somewhere else, and they didn't seem to be to sad to see me leave. Glad I called Next Level Tattoo, right down the street. Read Less
