I got tattooed by this artist a few months ago, and while the tattoos were cute and seemed affordable at the time, the experience ended up being really disappointing and honestly concerning.
She told me during the session that she had only been tattooing for six months. This is something that should have been disclosed upfront, especially since she only does fine line work. That style requires precision, and the tattoos I got began fading within a week. They're already barely visible. She didn't explain that fine line tattoos, especially at this small scale, tend not to last, and it was clear she didn't prioritize longevity in her design or technique.
On top of that, I wasn't told about the $25 touch-up fee until I was already being tattooed. That kind of thing should be communicated clearly before someone sits in the chair, especially when the quality of work makes a touch-up almost guaranteed. What felt "cheap" at first became a waste of money.
She also didn't check my ID beforehand, and casually mentioned she nearly gave alcohol to someone underage without verifying their age. Even if she didn't go through with it, it was unsettling to hear and added to the lack of professionalism.
In short: yes, the tattoos were cute--but they were done without care for how they'd heal or last, and the whole experience made me feel like quality and safety weren't taken seriously. read more
