Pete Escobedo (owner?) met with me twice today while I tried redeem a gift certificate my wife…read morepurchased on 04/18/2023 (see photo) as a birthday gift for me. Pete informed me that it was his policy that he will not honor this gift certificate-nor would he honor ANYONES' gift certificate, regardless of the amount, once a year from the purchase date has passed. He further informed my wife and I that this happens frequently and that "he cannot make an exception for anyone otherwise everyone would want an exception." After learning that state and federal consumer protection laws require a business to honor gift certificates for five years from the date of purchase of said certificate, I, out of respect for him, went back for a second visit and asked him if he would honor the gift certificate given the consumer protection laws. Pete responded by telling me I was threatening him and also told me I was being recorded on video. I was completely calm throughout the interaction, and also made a recording. He then told me that "he didn't have time for this" and asked me to leave the premises. He also stated I should never return. I would never purchase a gift certificate from this business nor this individual. His work appears to be great. It's unfortunate we could not come to some agreement, as I tried multiple times. He informed me that if I don't like his policy, I should sue him. Unfortunately his policy does not supersede state or federal law. During this interaction, Pete also moved into my personal space. I let him know that I had recorded the interaction as well. His physical presence made me uncomfortable as I was ordered off the premises for requesting the redemption of a gift certificate. The video and audio recording serves as verification of his words and actions as well as my calm approach despite him claiming I had threatened him. DO NOT BUY GIFT CERTIFICATES FROM THIS PLACE EVER!!! Did I mention he also said they are non-transferable to any other person? The business only accepts cash as well, and after 1 year, you can wipe yourself with for life's gifts certificates, so give cash instead!

Since the owner likes to delete all the honest bad reviews on other websites, I'll leave it here…read moretoo. If I could rate this place a zero star I would. These people are scammers, if they see you don't have any tattoos they quadruple charge you because they know you're uneducated about everything. Unfortunately they took advantage of me and charged me nearly a grand for a 200/300 piece when I didn't know better. They also make you sign an insane contract. And milk you of all your money with any charge they can think of. Of course read it. But unfortunately if you're younger or haven't been tattooed you don't know this isn't normal and that they are preying on you. (My case). The deposit of course which was over $200 for a small patch tattoo. One minute late? Charged. Though my artist was nearly a half hour late. (They don't follow their own contract but I guess it's fine. Also they don't let you in until they are ready so get ready to freeze or melt on the little wooden bench as you're forced to wait outside.) Change in the template when you don't get to see it at all beforehand anyways? Charged. Reschedule? Charged. lol. Unfortunately if you are new to tattoos/getting tattoos they take full advantage. On top of that my artist specifically, Mal, completely changed the lettering and the design of my tattoo. And for my tattoo, the piece was designed specific to be a replica of something, an item, not a different tattoo or artwork. I got there and he said this is the tattoo.. I said, why did you change it? He said, well this is easier for me to do. So essentially, he changed it without asking because he was lazy and refused to change it back. At that point I had put so much money in. I didn't wanna lose any more because I would've been charged for changing or canceling. The tattoo is basic at best. I also had to go to a different artist to get the lettering redone because Bro didn't even go deep enough for it to stick. I was much too uncomfortable to go back. I also didn't want to be charged a fee for their mistake which I'm sure I would've been. The tattoo, totally lop-sided and misaligned. You would think a beginner did it or that it was freehanded. Thankfully, I found a different place in the city over. I got a tattoo three times the size with crispy lines and it's actually what I wanted for about half the price. Would never recommend this place ever. All they care about is money!

Have now had six tattoos done here, Dave has done the last 4 and I'll keep going back to him. He…read moreinvests a lot of his own time into each one, not just drawing it up and "rubber stamping" it on you, but takes time to research and understand the subject matter so that it actually feels like your tattoo is as important to him as it is to you. He is a major perfectionist and in some cases will spend as much time positioning and prepping as he does actually tattooing! Once ready however, he works quickly and it never feels like he's purposely working slowly to milk the hourly rate. Another positive note is that All the artists here are quick to tell you if an idea will not work. They never force something that won't look right simply because you had the idea. "when in doubt, do without!" Overall huge fan of this place. Cleanliness is top notch, will continue to come back!

Tony MELTED absolutely killed it!…read more I've now trusted Tony with two tattoos, and I seriously cannot recommend him enough. He breathed life and ink back into my butterfly tattoo, transforming an older piece into something beautiful again and making it the perfect first part of a memorial half sleeve that means so much to me. Then came my newest celestial tattoo -- a design I created myself and was really excited about. Tony took my vision and absolutely nailed it. The detail, linework, placement, and execution came together better than I could have imagined. Beyond being an incredibly talented artist, Tony makes the whole experience comfortable and chill. No awkwardness, no stress -- just good conversation, good vibes, and a great artist doing what he does best. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your skin and your vision, go see Tony MELTED at Cry Babies Tattoo in St. John. I highly recommend him to literally anyone and everyone. I already know this won't be my last tattoo with him!

0/10 recommend Divine Tattoo. I went here on Tuesday of this week to get my tongue pierced and oh…read moremy god I regret it. I am writing this review today because I went back in to the shop to have the owner look at it and his response was "I am not a piercer so I can't tell you anything." So ask yourself before you go here and get pierced by them "Do I want to get messed up permanently or do I want to go some place where I can get my cute new piercing and not go through hell?" The lady at this shop went through my muscle and was darn near close to hitting one of my main veins in my tongue. All the owner said was "she was trying to miss the webbing". Look at my tongue which now has permanent muscle damage. Thank you Divine I appreciate your owner not giving an F about his business. One last thing, one of his employees told him he'd answer the phone and the owner said right in front of me and my boyfriend and other clients "F that phone" so if you want to go here, be my guest just know you are more likely to have permanent damage done to you at this particular shop.
