I visited this shop while on a trip to Mobile in 2008. My friend and I wanted to get matching tattoos on our backs. We were quoted $80 each, asked to pay upfront (before the work was done or any consultation with Chassity), and then asked to sit and wait. It was about 10:30pm on a weekend evening. The shop was busy. As we sat and waited, we realized that most of the customers were intoxicated. Two men waiting after us were unable to stand up straight. The women getting tattooed before us were slurring their words and clearly high/drunk. It was a really sordid scene. People were coming in and out, talking loudly, partying, and hanging out. When we finally got to the back to see Chassity, a strange older man was sitting on a stool playing touch screen. He gave us a creepy look and told us to take down our pants and sit on a folding chair. As my friend went to sit down, I looked around and surveyed the mess in Chassity's station. Nothing was organized, nothing was covered in plastic wrap, nothing was clean. It was horrifying. I'm used to tattoo shops looking very sterile and medical. The worst part, though, was that Chassity was covered in ink (after tattooing names on the chests of three girls in front of us) and was trying to scrub the ink off of her hands. Then it dawned on me - SHE WASN'T WEARING GLOVES! I grabbed my friend and high-tailed it out of there. They wouldn't give us our money back, even when I explained that I was really concerned about the cleanliness. As we walked out the front door, we noticed a sign that read (their words) - "Despite what our colligs say, we only use new needles". The fact that they have to even post that handwritten sign tells me that something is definitely wrong with that shop. That was the best $80 I ever lost. read more
