I had a tattoo done here back in 2010. I just want to report how it's held up…read more Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's a really simple piece (a stylized version of my mom's name, I got it shortly after she died to commemorate her). The coloration has still stayed as solid as you can expect, and it still reflects what I thought was a job well done by the artist. In retrospect, the some of the kerning and letter sizing is just the tiniest bit off, but it's a really small thing and not something you'd notice unless you we're really inspecting it every single day. I'd recommend checking them out if you're in the La Crosse area and looking for a new tat. Their prices are reasonable (or at least they were when I got the tattoo, no idea if that's changed), the artists are friendly, and the work is pretty good.

A little bit of a story…read more I had been told about an artist by a mutual friend and had loved her work. Reached out and had a good interaction with her and made the appointment. There was a booking mess up to start with. I had been booked on a day the artist didn't even work. But continuing on we had got it rebooked and was super excited but had been a little nervous due to what happened as well as it being my first tattoo. Went in for the tattoo and had a good experience with even getting the artists socials. A couple weeks pass and we had communicated on how it was healing. She had mentioned multiple times on doing a touch ups on the tattoo. Then... blocked. Based off of political beliefs (I'm not huge on judging others for it but maybe just me‍). Then found out that the artist had posted some negative things about the situation publicly on her page. If you ask me it was very unprofessional when building a clientele and working in the public. Just wish we could have come to an understanding or just completely avoided the topic completely. I do love my tattoo but the experience attached is a little bitter.

For that Black Lotus will not receive anymore business from my friends, family, and much less myself. When I asked for my deposit back he says "I will mail it to you...". Wow. So not only did I put money down I had to take time off work unpaid and pay for a babysitter for my 4 kids, not to mention I drove 1 hour out of my way to get this done and this is how I am treated. So, Black Lotus this guy cost you more than you can comprehend in dollars and reliable business. BBB is my next stop....
