What kind of owner tells a paying client not to come back for any future tatts after I went in and…read moretried to make contact with the tattoo artist who did 3 tatts over the course of 3 months? What the owner has failed to realize is how much he's hurting the artist who did my tatts. The artwork he's done on me makes me a walking advertisement and now his fame will never be known to those who ask me where and whom I went to. The owner just ruined the reputation of his own artist more than he did his shop. The artist I saw is pretty decent but his response time to my messages has been none to non-existent which is why I went into the shop in the first place since he never answered me back after 3 weeks. I'm expecting the owner to reply to my review with a not-so-nice comment but I don't really care. This review is about the shop, not so much the artist, but, again I will not recommend either to anyone who asks me.

My son begged me not to call this shop, and so I resisted, with great restraint. He was referred…read moreto this shop, to Doc specifically, by a co-worker. Eager to get started on his new ink, he sent Doc (Eric Dougherty) a photo of the tattoo he had his heart set on, received an e-mail response back regarding the deposit amount which he immediately sent, and an appointment time. He waited for three weeks, anxiously counting down the days (not kidding). He drove an hour from home, arriving early as he was so excited. He was then told "No, I'm sorry...I can't draw this on you". My son then tries to accomodate Doc by changing the design to his specifications, asking what he wanted changed, what could he do to get it done? He was blown off moments later, handed back his money, and told "no, can't do it". NO MATTER WHAT my son tried to do to make it workable for the artist involved. WHY request a photo beforehand if you aren't going to take a look at it? If you aren't going to suggest changes PRIOR TO having your potential clients drive two hours for nothing? What's the point then? I'm not going to lie, I was not too happy about the idea of the tattoo in the first place, BUT when I saw how depressed this made my son? I set about finding him somewhere else to go. I could not bear to see him that upset, and after all, it is his body. SHAME on you for operating this way. Talk about poor business tactics. I am sure you do amazing work, but your method of operation this time? Unacceptable.

I have 30ish tattoos done by MANY people. I've recently had 5 small jobs done on myself by Dozer…read moreand I can NOT explain how much I love this shop, it's atmosphere and quality of work. Ever walk into a tattoo shop and feel like you are inconveniencing the artist because they talk down or seem to be superior? I had a guy who tattoed me for years and was ALWAYS smug about it. Dozer and NY Tattoo Studio are unlike any shop/artist I've ever met. My wife and I walked in a random Sunday and showed some of the people working what we wanted and they were fully honest that they were not comfortable doing it because it was outside their realm of expertise. They called Dozer and he came in KILLED it. I did a great job and charged a fair price. My wife and I just went back and my wife's lotus flower he did our last visit she had a totally different concept on the existing original work and he came up with a beautiful way to pull off what she wanted. He connected with her on how and why she wanted it and poured his soul into the adaptation to her original design. I am working on basic equations on my lower arm and want to have a sleeve. Dozer asked me, "why" and when I told him the answer he blew my @#$% mind with theme idea to expand and make the tattoos even more meaningful. I've only had Dozer do the work but the other 2 artists at the shop are so warm and welcoming, very knowable and kind. I'm not used to that after 10 years of different artists these people create a welcome home atmosphere. Dozer knows his #$!t. I'm annoyingly inquisitive and asked hundreds of questions and he took time to answer and teach me all the stuff I was curious about. We went in for something that normally would have been 2 hours of work and ended up staying for 6 hours because we were hanging out and talking. Every time I've had a session (2 visits so far) I've felt nothing but expertise, kindness and being brought into a talented family. As you can tell I'm glowing because I'm just so happy with how kindly we were treated.

The woman who tried to help me couldn't get jewelry in a said I needed to be re-pierced... so she re-pierced it but had trouble getting it through. She also seemed to have no experience piercing at all and was expressing being scared to pierce people and doesn't like causing people pain... I noticed that she pierced it lower than it was and closer to my breast and not the same way that it was when she told me she would be re-piercing through the same holes and she didn't - she pierced lower towards my breast. I don't know if I have an infection or what is going on because it is over a month later and I'm having extreme pain in my nipple even when just putting on a shirt and my nipple looks larger or swollen compared to my other one still over a month later and with all of this pain. My boyfriend gave me a hug this morning and I screamed out in pain because even something that light is causing a shock of pain everytime even just putting a shirt on. I'm very experienced with piercings and have never had an infection before and I'm not sure what is going on because I don't seem to have any discolored puss but my nipple being enlarged and in this much pain is very concerning to me and I will be going to urgent care today and possibly another shop to try and find out what's wrong with my nipple. I'm very upset and disappointed and even more upset I paid $100+ to have an experience like this when I know Vision or even heart and dagger if they were still around wouldn't have charged me as much to re-pierce a nipple ring that just fell out the day before nonetheless wouldn't have caused me to have an issue/possible infection

The current jewelry was an opal and they weren't sure if they had it. The dude never stood up from the couch and asked a women to look for the opal. She didn't understand what an internally threaded ball was and that was what I needed for the rook. I assumed they were looking for it so I sat down waiting to be called. About 10 minutes go by. Another customer walks into the shop and gets all set up for her piercing with forms and jewelry and gets called back. So I ask about my jewelry. They hadn't even checked to see if they had it and turns out they don't! He came out with a belly button ring and when I ask "but will that work for my rook" and he replied no. They complete just ignored me because I didn't need a new piercing. So I wasted my time sitting there while they all sat on their phones and were going through another tattoo artists work in the waiting area and absolutely trash talking it. Overall extremely disappointed and will never be returning. You can better service somewhere else!

I believe you can be cautious, safe, and run a good business without being nasty. Hey, guy who owns the joint: you know what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, being nice to your customers actual helps your business! I just wanted to buy a nose ring. Sounds easy, right? And fun! I guess I shouldn't be surprised at how the entire interaction went when someone answered the phone and just barked Hello. No need to announce the name of the establishment, I guess. The guy acted like there were gold and diamond lilies springing up around the corners of his shop. The "app" I was referred to, let me book an appointment that apparently didn't exist... nor did the request go through to the booking agent at the shop. Which, I think, is also the friendly gentleman who has banned me because the whole thing frustrated me to the point that I called him out on his rudeness. After a couple of attempts to figure out this little system they've got going - all while just being talked over on the phone - I gave up. And yeah, hung up. Then I got fired after I quit with a crappy text from the business number advising I 'stay away' from the place. Am I getting a restraining order too? Its almost laughable. Almost. I can't believe I actually had an argument just trying to buy a piece of jewelry. Business owners out there: do you or your employees start arguments with customers? Especially ones who call with a smile in their voice? It really takes quite a bit to make me angry.
