Last June I send a message to the instagram page of mi familia tattoo to see if they could make a cover up in my horrible tattoo. With the person who I spoke, he or she told me that I could arrive the following Friday to see if they could do it. When I went, sergio , ( you can find his Instagram like @blessedink_ss ) an artist from the studio, told me that my tattoo had scars but if I started using vitamin E for two weeks, my skin would be ready to cover it. After two weeks I came to the studio with my skin looking better, he looked at it and told me it was okay and that He could do my tattoo cover up. When I asked him the price for the cover up, he told me that $ 500 but that I will not see my old tattoo any more, he promised me to cover up with one session. I arrived on Monday July 2 th, he opened the studio only to do my cover up, and after 4 hours I left the studio very happy, I could not see my old tattoo. When he finished it, I was charged $600 instead of $500 because he told me that my tattoo was bigger than he planned. Two days after I got the tattoo, my old tattoo was beginning to be noticed, after three weeks I sent a message to Sergio, he answered that my tattoo needed a retouch. When I said sergio my availability to do it, he did not answer the messages anymore. I wrote him to telling him that I wanted to go to the studio to show him how my tattoo was and in that point I was looking for honesty, if there was a solution to cover my tattoo or if it was better to remove it with laser, He doesn't answer me. I went to the studio to look for him and he told me that i can see my old tattoo because my skin was mistreated from the old tattoo but my question is.... why did he do the cover up and promise me that it will be completely cover if my skin was damaged from my old tattoo?. I came to the studio looking for a solution from my old tattoo but the only thing I got was to make my skin worse and make the problem bigger. Now I have a bigger tattoo in which you can see the old tattoo. I write this comment because I want that people take care when trusting tattoo artist . I do not doubt Sergio's work as a tattoo artist but doing cover up is not the best, also he was not honest with me and the only thing that he wanted was my money. He should focus and be professional and not promise miracles when He knew that my tattoo had no solution. Today I started my laser remove treatment. I have a long way to go to see result. The lady that is doing my laser remove tattoo told me that it will be easier to remove my old tattoo but now She need to remove the tattoo that Sergio did it too, she told me that she doesn't understand why he didn't recommend me some laser session first but the only reason was that he did not care about his costumers. I hope that he enjoyed the $600. The first two pics that I am attaching is the day that I got my cover up with Sergio, and the last two are one week later the cover up. Please guys if you are looking for a tattoo artist to do a cover up or a tattoo make searches , ask questions, and don't trust in the first one that promise you what you want to hear. It is better to pay extra money in the beginning that be in the position that I am right now. Read Less
