*DON'T DEAL WITH JASON*
I contacted the shop on July 3rd. Jason responded and said I would need to come to the shop for a consultation. He said he would be at the shop from 12-6 on July 4th, so I said I would meet him at 12:30 to give him time to settle in at work.
July 4th and I show up at 12:30p. Jason is not there but another artist said he should be in shortly so I went to wait in the car. Another tattoo artist came to my car with Jason on FaceTime. I explained what I wanted and sent the $200 deposit to get on his schedule for July 25th. He sent me a Booksy reminder.
July 7th, I get a text from Jason asking if I'm still interested in getting a tattoo or have I scheduled already. I let him know that we already scheduled and put down my deposit. I checked again after not receiving a response, and Jason responds back, yea I have you down this week. I sent him a screenshot of the correct date which was in 2 weeks. I should've known from there that he was going to be on BS.
July 23rd, I received a text asking if I can change my appointment to Friday. I responded no because I work. After an all day back and forth, I said I could take off an hour early and come in at 4pm on July 24th. Mind you this is one day before my actual appointment date. He didn't actually respond back until July 24th saying that I could come in at 4pm. I took off work early to get prepared. 3:30pm I received a text from Jason saying he wants to move the appointment back to the original day. At this point I knew he was a joke but I paid $ so I was willing to be patient. I let him know I can come on the 25th but I can't keep switching times last minute.
July 25th, appointment is at 12. I received a text at 11:30am telling me my appointment is from 1-2. So I responded with a "?" Because I know damn well you can't do nothing in 1 hour. Jason responded, come at 1pm if I use numbing cream or 2pm if I don't. So I'm thinking what if I put numbing cream on yesterday and today? I would've just been wasting it because he keeps rescheduling 30 minutes before the appt. I told him I would be there at 2pm. Sooooo 1:30pm rolls around and guess who texts me? Yup, Jason to say he needs to move my appointment again but he will give me extra time. F*** extra time, give me my deposit back. I feel like he never had intentions on doing my tattoo. I asked for my deposit back and he said yea and asked for my cashapp. 4 hours later I hadn't received anything. I texted and called Jason. He answered and said would send my deposit in the next 24 hours. What!?! So you spent my deposit and you don't have $ to send back smh. I let it go though because I just want my $ so I don't have to deal with this dude anymore.
July 26th, 24 hours passed. No deposit, no communication, nothing. I left 2 texts asking the status of my deposit and how ridiculous this is. No response all day.
July 27, At about 10:15 I call and once again asked Jason about my deposit. Now it's, oh yea let me send that now. So finally after 2 days I received my deposit back. DONT SAY YOU WERENT WARNED. read more
