Made a $100.00 deposit, submitted my tattoo idea, spoke to the artist I chose (still works there) and had everything set up. Then, two days before my appointment, he tells me that I wasn’t able to get what I originally wanted; I could choose between picking another piece/idea or get my deposit back. So, I drove from Camp Pendleton to Temecula to get my deposit back. I reached their parlor and was denied my refund. I contacted my artist, telling him about the situation. He then asked me when my appointment was to which I replied in two days. He immediately says that there is a 48 hour cancellation policy, that my deposit was non-refundable because I was in that 48 hour window. Not once was this mentioned before. I find it odd that all of a sudden, despite our conversations, that there was a convenient cancellation policy that matched the exact time that I had to get my deposit back.
I was really looking forward to getting work done at this parlor for reasons such as tattoo quality, high artistic skill, area cleanliness, and religious background. Ultimately, I was $100.00 short, had a Taco Bell taco (or 5) that told my stomach I needed to pull over at the next gas station, and had a heavy traffic ride back home. This was back in 2015, I believe. I’m still $100.00 short and have learned my lesson on eating taco bell on the road.
Please don’t let me review make you think twice about approaching this parlor or the artists. They produce quality work and have one of the nicest shops I’ve seen in years. Just be vigilant on keeping in contact with your artist and your appointment. Read Less
