After following Lilac Tattoo studio on tik tok for a very long time I took the chance and book with one of the artists. I asked for an experienced watercolor artist and was matched with who they said was best. I looked at her work and was confident I was choosing a great tattoo artist to work with. I sent her examples of what I was looking for as well as requested to see what she was drawing up. She told me she would have it when I arrive for my appointment and we can make any changes. I wanted then. I arrived 15 minutes early. She did not arrive until after 1 PM when my appointment was to start. No big deal I don't mind waiting. She told me she was going to get set up and we would get started. Over an hour later, I asked you use the restroom and I walked back and realized she was sitting in the break room drawing my tattoo. Another half hour goes by and she brings it out. I like what I saw and agreed and requested be a little bigger because I had intended to be almost a half sleeve size. She goes back and says she's gonna set up her station and we'll get started in a few minutes at this point. I've been sitting in the waiting area for 1 1/2 hours. She comes out 15 minutes later with the stencil and applies it to my arm and says she'll be right back. It is now 2:45 PM. At 3:30 I go to the receptionist because I can hear her talking with another tattoo artist and laughing and joking in the back and I say do you have any idea when this is gonna get started because at this point? The receptionist was beyond rude and told me that the tattoo artist are independent contractors and she can't help me. While I understand that there is absolutely no reason for her attitude when I was very nice asking about what was going on. Another artist was sitting behind the desk and got up and I'm assuming walked back and said something because my artist came out a few minutes later and was like I'm ready. It took another 45 minutes for her to actually get started on my tattoo. At this point, I was ready to just walk away, but I assumed because the line work was pretty easy and it was mainly color work. I wouldn't be there too long. Man was wrong and I really wish I had made the decision at that point to just walk away. The whole time she was tattooing me she was on her phone. She was doing the tattoo in pieces instead of doing the outline all at once and then going back and coloring/shading. At 8:30 I asked her how much longer it would be and she said it would be approximately another 20 minutes. Well, that 20 minutes, turned into another hour and 15 minutes. Mind you I had been there since 12:45 PM. But I had only been in the chair and her working on me since 415. I have been in many of a tattoo artist chair and have over 25 tattoos and I have never had a tattoo this size take such a long period of time nor have I ever had to wait to even get started for such a long period of time. I'm not happy with my tattoo either the line work is either super heavy or barely there and the coloring and shading does not match with the drawing she showed me. Once it is healed. I will give her a chance to fix the work, I have a feeling she knows that the work is subpar because she knocked $100 off the Tattoo. I'll update this review once I see what the artist says. But overall, the line is beautiful, but the people that worked there specifically the receptionist are rude and do not go with the vibe of women supporting women. read more
