Yes the talent was there but Super duper Rude and A Cold Welcome from the Owner and 2 Other Artists. Sketchy Environment for how they did transactions. The place was Cozy I'll say that.

I had to cancel my first appointment due to pneumonia but gave him plenty of notice. When I tried rebooking he either ignored my messages or sent extremely inappropriate sexual comments and informed me he's "good at cunnilingus". After my last text and he replied that I lost my deposit after the second time I cancelled - I only cancelled once. I assume because I didn't take him up on his cunnilingus challenge. When I brought it up on Instagram with the shop I was blocked. Terrible business strategy.

Felt pressured to leave a tip after hearing fellow tattoo artists shit talk a non-tipping patron…read more Explain to me why I should tip a professional who sets their own price. Sorry but if you're charging $250/hr and you're still expecting a tip, you're greedy and entitled. If you need tips to supplement your wage at that ridiculous rate - keep raising your rate- otherwise tips are entirely optional and I'm fed up with feeling cheap for not dishing out more money when I've commissioned an artist for an expensive piece. More gratitude and humbleness from the tattoo artists at this shop would be much appreciated.

Amanda is awesome…read more Seriously, it was painless, professional and really, actually, enjoyable. The shop is clean, private and perfect for a first timer like me. She took my directions and requests wonderfully and really didn't make me feel like that 'lame and dorky' newbie (which I really am :) ) what I wanted was in her style which is my number one suggestion: make sure your artist art suits you. I ended up with her but 'fate' but she really was the perfect fit. Also easy to talk too after Ill add it was affordable too.

Disappointing Experience - Faded Tattoo in Days…read more My friend and I came in to get matching tattoos on the sides of our hands--an area we knew could be tricky, but we expected a bit more care and guidance. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from start to finish. The artist offered little support or direction during the design process and didn't explain the level of fading we might expect clearly. We were asked to sign the hand waivers after the tattoo was completed. We were told it would fade over time, but within just 2-3 days, one tattoo had nearly vanished and the other was missing large chunks. When we brought this to the studio's attention, the manager cited their "hand tattoo policy" but ultimately refused to stand by their work. We were told we could pay again to get it touched up. Instead of offering a resolution or at least a courtesy touch-up, we were told we'd have to pay again to fix tattoos that didn't even last a week. I understand that hand tattoos can be tricky, but this was poorly handled. Lack of support, lack of follow-through, and a lack of accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone--especially if you're hoping for both quality work and respectful customer service. After speaking and showing other artists the work, they agreed that it was poorly done and not deep Enough. Save your money and stay away!!!!

I went to Boss Tattoos Inglewood for a walk-in session and it was a very low mediocre experience…read more They were not at all flexible with the simple tattoo that I wanted as well were very rude (asking why I even wanted that, that it was barely a tattoo since it was small, if I was sure I wanted that, etc.) They were unable to do small tattoos and thin detailed lines! Like??? Are you trained or ??? A couple of the artists were very unprofessional and unaccommodating, only Chase and Sammy seemed to actually care about their clients, everybody else was simply trying to make a quick buck and hurry through to the next client. You could tell that it was a toxic work environment. They also charged about $165 + tip for half an hour's work which is ridiculously high for a 20-30 minute tattoo. Lastly, none of them had any consistency to their work method or the aftercare method, they were each recommending different things for different time lengths and it was quite unnerving. I would not recommend to do a walk-in unless with Chase or Sammy.

Poor life choices are what led me to become a patron of Sacred Balance. Back when I was younger and…read moremuch less wise I was super into Punk rock music and as I age I find myself getting really into Cover up Tattoos and Neil at SB did an awesome job hiding my shame. I had an entire half sleeve done and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the ease of dealing with the staff. The shop it's self feels out of the way on the W end of 17th ave S, it;s a big space and has free parking in the parkade off of 15th st. There are plenty of examples , flash and sketches to be seen and shows that the artists have actual talent. It's an "art school grad " type of establishment and not of the " I just got out of prison" flavor. Shop rate is 150/hr and booking is easy .

Not only was the service and jewelry overpriced, but the jewelry was also unnecessary, unwearable and caused ear problems. I was charged double the quoted price (with jewelry included), despite confirming in advance via phone that there would be no additional fees prior to booking the appointment and outlining the situation via notes and in person my original piercing experience with the "gun" 40 years ago. I was shocked when I was billed over $200 at the time of piercing and immediately contested the charge. The experience was time-consuming, as Keith frequently bounced between customers and those counter surfing. Even with my appointment, I was there for an hour after arriving ten minutes early. The final outcome was completely misaligned and lopsided piercings, resulting in extra, unnecessary holes in my ears that are permanent. I have photos to support this, and anyone who sees my ears, including George the piercer at Strange World (who I can't recommend enough), can attest the appalling result. I am beyond upset!

My Husband and I came in for our consult with Ryan on June 28th. At which time we booked our…read moreappointments together for July 19th as it was our wedding anniversary. During our consult, it was decided that Ryan would do my tattoo first as it would only take an hour or so, whereas my husband's could take at least 3. We showed up on the 19th and found out Ryan had switched our appointments. He decided to do my husbands first and then mine, which I was fine with, until.... Ryan made a comment about not seeing my tattoo appointment and not having the picture we provided him with, which was odd because everything was sent in one email. I sat in your shop for over an hour during which time I listened to a conversation between your artists who were discussing your 48 hr cancellation policy. Then a 1/4 of the way through my husband's tattoo I get told I may not even get my tattoo that day. He said we could reschedule and that he would even come in on his day off! We were supposed to be getting our tattoos together on our anniversary! I was pissed and left the shop! I sat in my car alone in your parking lot for another 3.5 hrs waiting for my husband (hoping I'd get my tattoo) on my ONLY day off in 6 days, on my wedding anniversary for an appointment we had booked 3 weeks prior! Then I find out Ryan cancelled my appointment but kept the appointment after me!! Who does that? That right there is a shitty business and shitty customer service!!! He literally cancelled my appointment the day of, on the spot (we drove in from Airdrie), and he had the nerve to take his next appointment!!! I am curious as to why his next appointment was more IMPORTANT then the one I had, had scheduled for 3 weeks? At no point did Ryan check to see if I was mad, nor did he attempt to reschedule my appointment. The response I received from the shop owner after I sent a message was just as bad!!! If I could give this shop a -10 I would!!!! They ruined what was supposed to be a happy and exciting day for my husband and I! We will NOT be back anytime in the future, nor will we be recommending your shop to anyone we know!
