Its been just a couple years but I was looking for a local tattoo shop one day & I ran across this one...So when I went in at the end of the day, I was waiting to be helped. People who worked there walked by me several times & didn't acknowledge me until maybe about 20mins later! Whatever, nice customer service service! That should have told me to leave right there but I stayed...So finally, when someone helped me, I asked for simple zodiac signs on my both my arms (mine & my son's), maybe about 1"x1" tattoo each. I was quoted about $60. each & thought "ok, that sounds reasonable".I forget the guys name, but he seemed like he didn't want to do my tattoo. No small talk either, he just seemed like he was in a rush because the shop was going to close soon. So, he zipped through both my small, simple tattoos within minutes & TOTALLY FUCKED THEM UP!!!! THEY LOOKED LIKE SHIT!! The lines were messy, not even clean! They looked like a 3yr old drew them on!!!! How do you jack up a SIMPLE SMALL BLACK INK TATTOO???? There was nothing intricate about it, I could have done a better job!!! OMG, I was so upset when I left but still paid for them!! As I left, I was thinking I was gonna cancel the charge with my credit card company but thought I would call the next day & speak with the owner.So when I called to speak to the owner, he heard my story & yelled at his employee. He asked him what happened & it turned out the guy DIDN'T want to do my tattoo & was in a rush to close the shop because he was going out somewhere! WTF!!!!! Anyway, the owner offered to let his guy fix my tat, but I said I NEVER wanted that guy again! So the owner offered to fix it for me because I explained I'm not gonna pay for something jacked up that I now have to have someone else fix!!!When I went in again & met the owner, he apologized & agreed the tattoo looked looked shit. But as he was fixing it, he explained he doesnt normal do this (fix someone elses mistake IN HIS SHOP) nor does he come in for less than $150. tattoo! He made it known that I was inconveniencing him, but he fixed my small, minuscule tat that was very sentimental to me (my son's zodiac sign).Because of the poor service I received, I will NEVER go in this shop again nor will I recommend it to anyone!!!! DON'T GO HERE, PEOPLE!!!!!!!Most of my friend's have all gotten tattoos in San Mateo at Godspeed! They all have had a really nice experience there & awesome detail on their tats! I recommend HIGHLY to save yourself & take a drive to San Mateo or shop around before wasting your money here!!! Read Less
