I've been getting tattoos while I travel for a few years now. I can honestly say that yelp helps me…read morefind the heartbeat of quality shops in every new city I visit. Heritage Tattoo Company has a friendly staff, as I was greeted by a friendly face as soon as I walked in the door. As a walk in on a Friday afternoon I knew from calling earlier in the day that I may have to wait while Kevin finished with a client. Turned out that he was done when I got there and just had to do a quick piercing while I waited. Once it was my turn Kevin took some time to mock up the Nautical Star Compass I wanted, all while everyone was laughing and having a good time. It was a simple black scale tattoo and only took about 45 minutes to complete. Kevin was fast an knowledgeable. The place was clean and the price was right. Great job guys.

I was told by the word of the tattoo artist I scheduled with (and gave a $100+ deposit to) that I…read morewould receive a mock-up of the idea I gave him prior to our appointment date set in approx. three weeks from consultation. They had my email and my Instagram to get it a mock up to. I received nothing, and when I got a call confirming my appointment, I brought this up. Still, I received nothing. I did not attend the appointment because I had not received what was promised. I explained this to the shop owner over the phone, and I quote "how old are you? You should know that it is your responsibility to show up for an appointment. This is the most bogus thing I have ever heard. It is not in our policy to provide a mock up, and because you are not here for your appointment, we would normally take your deposit and you would provide a new one. However, I will hold your deposit and you can reschedule if you would like." She hung up on me after I declined. I don't know about you, but I personally would not risk going to a tattoo shop after that interaction. I have been told in the past not to go to Jacksonville tattoo shops because they take advantage of Marines, and I believe this rings true. I've gotten tattoos in California, Arizona and Wilmington, and not one shop has required a deposit to make an appointment. However, two shops in Jacksonville I've been to (ATS and Forbidden) have required this. I've paid both and been tattoo'd by neither because I've been stunned by their treatment of clients and expectations both.
