I had an extremely disappointing experience at this tattoo shop, specifically with one of the artists- Alex. I came in excited, ready to invest in a meaningful piece of art, but left feeling ripped off and deeply unsatisfied.
Firstly, the artist showed a lack of interest and effort in the design process. I had followed his work thinking he'd be the perfect person, but what I got in return was a lazy, uninspired design that looked nothing like what I envisioned. Gave him reference as inspiration, which he just ripped off and added a floral piece that took away from the entire design. When I expressed my concerns, the artist was dismissive and unwilling to make any changes. He has little to no questions about what I was looking for. I was hoping maybe he had a few options for me because of this. It was clear that he just wanted to get the job done as quickly as possible. Mind you, this is not my friend tattoo. Totally open to the artist interpretation, but I found Alex really dismissive and lacked some serious communication skills. Felt very, take this or nothing as I left.
To make matters worse, I was charged $100 for this subpar experience. I reached out to the shop to express my dissatisfaction, but they did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. It's incredibly frustrating to feel like my concerns were completely ignored, and that I was left with feeling totally unwelcome at this shop.
Overall, this was an unprofessional and unpleasant experience. While this is an experience I had with Alex (would avoid) it is not a reflection of everyone in this shop. I felt my concerns were completely ignored and the shop did nothing to rectify my experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering getting a tattoo with AMART. As he is lazy and unprofessional, he will say "it's creative process" but in actuality he didn't want to do the work. read more
