OWNERSHIP TREATS CUSTOMERS BAD - BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES!
I scheduled a sleeve to be done here August 14th and paid the $100 deposit to be scheduled in October,
Couple things, one we agreed that the American flag that would be most of the piece was to be a VERY SPECIFIC way and was my vision not his to make. He ignored that, wanted it to be his way, understanding he is an "artist" we agreed i would be back in about 30 days and i wanted to see a sample of how this flag would look by "his vision"
Never heard back from anyone, i sent a text message asking if there was any progress on the flag sample. No response.....AT ALL.... how do you just simply ignore someone about to pay you $1500 or more for a job and I specifically want done MY WAY. Needless to say i let that go and didnt say another word.
September 13, i stopped by the shop to adjust the dates scheduled, he immediately said that he saw my message, however no explanation as to why he ignored me. Still no sample, then proceeded to tell me he wont do anything until 4 days before the appointment schedule. Sorry but that is not what we agreed on.
During your talk with him he will let you know that he will be taking quite a few breaks to step out and smoke weed and "that's just how i do things" not that i care if you feel the need to be high to work but being that he charges by the hour at a day in advance i shall not pay for your time to get high. My money is to be spent on the tattoo. Breaks are of course acceptable but excessively to get high is just bad business.
All i asked for in the end is a refund of the deposit because clearly their end of the deal was not met and they refuse to give it back, and they did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO EARN THAT MONEY!
The worst part is the $1500 i was perfectly willing to spend in this shop walked away from them simply becsuse of terrible communication and the fact he just didnt do what he agreed on. And he couldnt even call me himself to resolve this issue he had his gf do it for him. read more
