I will update the pictures I upload as my tattoo heals and ages, but until then, I would like to warn anyone and everyone to STAY AWAY FROM DEVOTION! I was highly mistaken by their initial kindness, and left crying my eyes out. So here's my story. My best friend and I were looking to get matching tattoos, and we decided on a cute avocado on our leg because it was an inside joke of ours. The guys in the shop were really patient with us and incredibly friendly, so I felt very confident that they'd do a great job, and went first. The tattoo was supposed to be around 6 inches tall, and I paid $100 for it. I wasn't thinking, but they took my money BEFORE tattooing me. I don't think I've ever had a shop do this to me before, but this is how Devotion gets you with their "no refund" policy. So screw you if you absolutely despise the work they did to your body, that you'll have to live forever with. Anyways, I don't know any of the guys names that work here, nor did they give me a receipt. My tattoo took one hour, and that was the worst hour of my life. The bigger guy who did my tattoo was insanely rough and heavy handed on me. He messed my tattoo up in so many ways. First off, I asked for a turquoise background and my friend asked for purple. I look down, and there's purple on my leg. "Oops" is all he said. Not only was there purple, but it was NOT water color, it was just two purple blobs. The color in my tattoo was very scant, and I feel like when my tattoo heals, it's going to look even worse. Funny because the guy was bragging about how he accidentally messed up tattoos before. We made him add more of a "splatter" to my tattoo like it was supposed to be, and it looks a LITTLE better than it originally did, but it's just still so hideous. This guy didn't seem to care that I would be stuck with this terrible "artwork" on my leg for the rest of my life. My friend got her money back and didn't even get tattooed because my tattoo was so ugly. I expressed how much I hated it, and the artist got his boss. All three of us went back into the room, where the boss proceeded to tell me nothing was wrong with my tattoo and where they both kept shoving words into my mouth saying that I asked for purple, when I did not. It escalated to the point to where the BOSS started yelling at me! Yelling at a customer. It made me cry so hard. I just got sick of arguing my point, because they refused to fix it or refund me, and left mid argument letting the entire lobby full of people know how terrible these guys were before exiting. These guys are truly the biggest douche bags I've ever met, and I'm going to do everything I can within my power to make sure that their name is soiled forever. Now not only did I pay $100 to get something I hate, I am going to have to pay even more to get it covered up. A day later, my leg hurts like someone kicked me extremely hard, and I can barely walk. The area around my tattoo is bruised, and I'm in so much pain. I am pretty worried now, because I have 6 tattoos and have NEVER experienced pain like this! *I will be posting pictures as soon as possible.UPDATE**** I had two people in the room with me who told me that they did not see him open a new needle to tattoo me with.
