I have been tattooed all over the world and country, never have I experienced such a HORRIBLE, scarred, doubled lined and non-symmetrical tattoo in my life. In July 2021, I wanted to get a memorial tattoo for my dog. I brought in an impression of her paw and asked for a first aid cross to be placed in the middle. Immediately after completion and viewing the tattoo I was appalled, enraged and completely speechless. It took every ounce of me to calmly leave the building. I messaged Cutthroat tattoo less than 3 hours after completion of my "tattoo" and informed them that it will need fixed and most likely filled in solid black. (Defeating the original design and color integrity let alone now not actually representing its meaning or my dogs actual paw shape.) (see picture) They informed me to contact them after healing for a touch up.
Let's head some possible reply of I didn't take care of this off. I have full sleeves, legs, and numerous pieces. This tattoo was cleaned and cared for in accordance with instructions from Cutthroat tattoo and numerous studios.
Why did I wait 3 months to write this? I battled with even letting them touch me again to attempt to "fix it" They absolutely destroyed my memorial tattoo and crushed its meaning. Every other artist I have shown it too has been hesitant to even try and touch it due to the amount of scaring and the shock it was done at an "actual shop" and not some dark basement.
I reached out to Cutthroat 10/26/21 and asked, "What IF any solutions they could give me." They told me to come in and let them fix it and touch it up. WHY in the world would I ever let anyone affiliated with them touch my skin again?! You cannot take away the scaring and have lost all trust and confidence in your fidelity or ability.
Further, why didn't I return to the shop and show them this monstrosity in person? During my time awaiting set up, 4 others walked in to attempt to schedule a tattoo with their own designs in mind. The absolute disrespectful, confrontational, and belittling way I watched these people talked to and treated blew my mind. If I had returned in person, such confrontation would not be productive or tolerated.
A previous reply to a review stated, "The integrity of our tattoos will always come first; and we will continue to discourage those that aren't willing to work with us." Wow is all I can say, look at these pictures again, tell me this is artistic integrity. As they discourage anyone not willing to work with them, I discourage anyone from allowing them to try and tattoo you. read more
