I cannot express how much disappointment I have for the way the staff at Purple Monkey Tattoo has conducted themselves.  I work for a non profit organization that helps children and families.  Every Christmas we try to find sponsors to help buy gifts for the children in our program.  This year I wanted to contact local businesses to help our local families.  The first week of November I talked to Purple Monkey Tattoo and asked if they wanted to sponsor any children.  At this time the owner, Erik, agreed to sponsor three children.  Within a week I returned with the paperwork and gift tags for these three children.  The paperwork indicated that I would need to pick up the presents by November 29th so that I could deliver them to the families before the holiday.  On the 29th I called and spoke to Jake who told me that I needed to call back another time and talk to Erik.  When I called back and talked to Erik he told me I needed to call back and talk to Jake and so this continues for eight phone calls back and forth between the two of them.  To this very day I am still getting the same run around with no hope that they are honoring their commitment to help these three children this holiday.  It is very clear that Purple Monkey Tattoo doesn't have any regard for the children in the community or how their actions have impacted innocent families.  As a member of the community and an advocate for the families in my program I know for certain I will take all of my tattoo business elsewhere and will make sure all of my friends, family and colleagues do also.
