I had a horrible experience at this place...to start I walked in, checked out some of the artist binders laying around. I started to really like one artists work. So I request to speak to them. I was told to wait about 30 minutes because they where finishing up a tattoo, awesome I caught the man in action, so I waited patiently and eager. So the tattoo artist finally comes out to speak with me with possible tattoo ideas. At this point I was a kid in a candy store explain...ing like 6 different ideas. He helps me narrow it down to one idea. Talks me into a deposit, I pay gladly. We exchanged numbers and set up a date. He seemed to understand exactly what I wanted and was excited I let him add his own flare to it...that was the best part of this whole ordeal, the up front customer service was outstanding then it turned for the worst...a few days go by and I get a text from my artist saying he is done with the drawing if I would like to go in and see it (this was late at night). I said sure I will be there tomorrow. I get there at the set time, he is busy with another customer, okay cool I'll wait. Waited 3 hours for him to come out and tell me he forgot it at his house, when on his first meet he said he can only work on work stuff at work, awkward moment of a brief lie. So I brushed it off still eager to get a new tattoo. We set up another meeting time and I make it to the store, but it had snowed so the store was closing early and he was no where to be found. So I text my artist. Yet again we set up another date. This time I bring my wife. Finally after an hour of waiting (completely understandable in the tattoo business) he comes out with a picture on his phone that only shows 10% of what I wanting to get. It was exactly what I told him I wasn't into (Japanese style colors and design nothing wrong with this style just not my thing), at this point I calmly explain I not into this style could he try again please. Then my wife starts to talk to him and he completely degrades her and wrote her off as stupid, and tried to convince her to get Japanese art all over her. I stopped him and asked to speak to a manager because a this point i want my deposit back. Lucky me the manager was out of the shop. So over the next few weeks, I called the store and asked to speak to the manager. He was always out. Finally I got ahold of the manager and I told him this unfortate story. Tells me the best he can do is put my deposit a a credit toward another artist. Ok fine, so a few months went by and I finally make my way back. I ask for the manager, he speaks with me, does not have any clue of my past troubles with this place and no record of my deposit going toward my next tattoo. So I basically got robbed, and never did get a tattoo. Plus, my wife got degraded. Yep, good times, so no I will not recomend this place.
