I struggled with how I wanted to approach leaving this review. I wanted to wait for the tattoo to…read moreheal and for my anger to subsided a little. However, I'm permanently branded and I'm sick to my stomach over this. My dog passed away on July 28th, even though I knew it was coming I was still devistated. I had always planned on getting her paw print tattooed on me. Yesterday July 31st 2020 I had someone by the name of will do my pawprint. I was very specific in how I wanted this to look. I brought in my Maggie's paw print and asked if he could replicate it without harsh lines and to keep it light and shaded. I had her actual pawprint as well as a picture pulled up on my phone for reference the entire time. When he was done he barely cleaned off the excess ink and purple stencil. I thought that was strange because every other tattoo I've had the artist make sure to clean it up really well. I made a comment about it being dark and patchy. He stated that it would lighten up as it heals and to come back in for a touch up in a few weeks. After cleaning it and looking at it the next day it's obvious why he didn't wipe up the excess ink and stencil, because it was camouflaging how bad it really was. not only does this look nothing like the picture that I brought in for reference, but you can clearly see harsh lines, some of which go right through the shaded areas. The outside, or border if you will, goes from dots to straight harsh angled lines. Nothing is consistent or organic about this at all. The little imperfections and wisps of hair from her paw print look like random polka dots. Almost 100% of the tattoo is filled in. There's no negative space or area for skin to show through. The reason I got this tattoo was to help with the grieving process of losing my dog. Now I'm feeling anger and frustration that I have a tattoo that looks like it was done by a 7th grader with a safety pin. It's going to cost me hundreds of dollars to have this removed professionally. There's no touch-up or cover-up that is going to make this look the way it was supposed to look. I was told by the doctor I have to let it heal for 8 weeks before they can start the process of removing it. With that being said it's not even about the money, or the facts that it's going to take me a long time to have this removed. It's about the fact that for whatever reason the time and care that should go into a memorial tattoo like this didn't. This tattoo was very important to me. It was a way for me to heal, and now it's just another bad tattoo story that I'm going to have to explain to a lot of people.

I then saw some of her work and am really happy I went elsewhere. It's all printing. Rude and bad artist. They do not like walking inside, obviously. I tried just to call to make a consultation and was treated horribly by her.

I got a cute little ghost tattoo (which now has cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and his name is Gerard) and immediately worked on scheduling another appointment in the future for a spine/back tattoo. Frit was amazing and came up with an absolutely gorgeous design (even though I was not much help in giving ideas, sorry Frit!!). Never once did she make me feel bad or like a burden when I asked for things to be tweaked/changed, and when we finally got a design agreed on, we started with the first session and got all of the line work knocked out. After two more sessions, we got the shading and detail all done as well and it looks absolutely killer! Frit is super easy going and fun to spend full 8 hour sessions with so it isn't boring/awkward/etc. and I'm so glad I came in that first day for a random tattoo so I could find my forever artist! Thank you Frit for always doing an amazing job, and I can't wait for many more tattoos to come!

He was rude, disrespectful, and constantly making faces anytime we asked simple questions, like we were somehow bothering him for doing his job. He made my friends feel stupid and uncomfortable the entire time. While we were waiting, he was openly gossiping with another customer and started making comments about us, including remarks about us being "white girls". Completely inappropriate, unprofessional, and honestly pathetic behavior from someone working in customer service. And somehow it got even worse. When the piercer asked him for paper towels, instead of handing them over like a normal person, he literally threw them on the floor and expected my friend to pick them up. The level of disrespect was unreal. I have genuinely never experienced service this horrible in my life. The environment was immature and incredibly unprofessional. If you value being treated with basic human decency, save your money and go somewhere else.
