I wanted a rate to have my tattoo completed for my next round as its been several years working on this project. he said 300 per sitting lol. 150$ more is insane. he stated that he charges 3k for a sleeve. I'm just about there and my shit is no where near complete. this man thinks I'm giving him 3 addition thousand dollars to finish the work he started.

I do not recommend his services as he tries to capitalize on a person based on there "financial status" he think because im an escort im willing to pay all this money he couldn't pay to visit me for my service and that I don't wanna let him suck on me he should charge me top dollar ! sir, let's focus on the project at hand versus your sexual desires.

TLDR: Clean atmosphere; Ron has terrible vibes…read more Ron pierced my back dimples. He made a point to share that he was fasting for a body builder competition and super out of it . He and his wife (the receptionist) were sort of fighting; he was irritable and ill tempered which was very uncomfortable to be around. She was very friendly and warm. First dimple went fine, still have it over a year later. On the second dimple he struggled to anchor it and was digging in my back for several minutes. Also forgot to count me down bc he was conversing with his coworker. I was wincing in pain and he told me to relax and that most of the pain was in my head Most piercers make a comfortable, welcoming, disarming vibe; Ron brought quite the opposite. That piercing never anchored properly and popped out 9 months later. Also, I was accidentally charged double BUT when I called they apologized profusely and immediately corrected it.

She said go to icing and they will do it for you. So I went to icing and the ladies there were so nice took it out and gave me ointment to heal it quicker and then I went back there and they reported it and I have had no problem ever since.
