I was going in to check a price for a memorial tattoo. I told him I wanted it exactly like the picture (A spider woman and industrial bars). He criticized my tattoo because he thought it would look funny together and he treated me like I was stupid. I don't care what other people think, a tattoo is for me, not decoration for others to appreciate. It can be both, but that was not my intention. That was a memorial for my brother. Something deep and meaningful that was apparently not up to this guy's standards.
I then asked to talk with Ray because I didn't want to talk to the other guy anymore and to double check the price the first guy gave. I said the same thing to him about what I wanted. He said okay, gave me the same price, but he wasn't patronizing or disrespectful.
Also, the price was a little higher than the last time I went.
UPDATE: I went back in to get my tattoo, there was a mix up with scheduling, so I had to wait an hour and a half past my appointment time. Honestly, I wasn't upset because I get that mistakes happen. I was perfectly fine with waiting. I would've changed it to 5 stars, but after waiting x amount of time, the girl working asked me to come over to pay. In the middle of the transaction process, someone walked in the store, and she completely stopped helping me and went to help those people. (To clarify, there was twice that she helped people in front of me. Once in the middle of helping me and again after I had to transfer money. I'm talking about the first time, the second time I wasn't bothered by it.) Now, I'm a really easy person to please. I don't get upset easily because I've worked retail for years. That was the first time I've almost snapped at someone. I, personally, won't be going back.
Also, my tattoo was crooked. I'm almost sure my artist knew it because there was a wrinkle in the sketch when he put it on my arm. He just wanted to get it done. I knew it was going to be, but I had already had so much drama because of this tattoo that I ignored it. My biggest regret to this day. I'm so disappointed. Please don't waste your time or money!
