I had my first tattoo by Sammy while he was at Lost Soul, so I sought him out to do my second piece- a large thigh piece with many flowers surrounding a skull. I had booked an appointment, the quote was around ~$200. Appointment: I was there on time and ready to get started but the shop was closed up. By the time they opened the doors, they were outside having smoke breaks and told me they needed to clean the place and mop the floors first. One hour later, we were finally able to go in. It took him about an hour and a half to draw up the art- though only about 50% of the time was spent drawing it up. He took several smoke breaks, made phone calls, joked with his coworkers. Finally, 2.5 hours hours AFTER my appointment time, we got started.I liked what he came up with, though I actually found another guy with the exact same tattoo, with slight differences. It took him about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete, taking little breaks here and there. I was mostly happy with it, but my tatt isn't overly complex- all thick outlines, no shading, no color. Afterwards: Charged me $300 and I left a generous tip. About one week later I found about 3 areas where he left gaps in his work. I hit him up to schedule a touch up, he told me when to come by. When I did come by, he blew me off. He was, treated me as though I was unwelcome, and told me he wouldn't be able to fit me in that day (despite telling me that this was the time he could fit me in). I tried to hit him up several times that evening and the following day with no answer. The guy totally blew me off and didn't take credit for his mistakes. I will never come back here and always advise my friends against it. Read Less
