Got a tattoo from Scott a few years ago. Upon finishing, not only were the colors off drastically from what I had requested, but there were parts where he jammed so deep that the ink was replaced by scar tissue. What was supposed to be a bright green ended up turquoise. What was supposed to be red ended up being orange. Beyond just how hideous this tattoo ended up looking, I got really sick after this tattoo. It may just be coincidental, but I went to the hospital to get checked out. Along with contracting a fever, the doctors and nurses relayed to me that the swelling in my arm was abnormal and that they'd never seen post-tattoo swelling like this. They assured me that the only way something like this happens is "if the tattoo artist is trying to intentionally injure you." I don't know if he didn't like the way that I look or something I was talking about in the shop, but throughout both of my sessions, Scott never voiced any kind of displeasure with any of the conversations I was having with people inside of the shop or indicated that I was making him uncomfortable in any way. I've had plenty of tattoos. I'm practically inked from the bottom of my neck to my ankles, and I've NEVER experienced the type of pain during a tattoo that I experienced from Scott at Sugar Daddy's.
I already know there are going to be thoughts about the tip, but I tipped him $50 EACH SESSION for a $500 tattoo. I tipped this guy an additional 20% throughout the course of this tattoo. All-in-all I paid $600 for a miscolored, patchy, painful tattoo that almost cost me my arm.
I've seen great work that this guy has done before. I've also seen and heard horror stories from people with my exact experience. I can understand some inconsistency, but in that line of work, a little inconsistency can be the difference between a magazine-worthy piece of art and a poster piece for why kids should stay away from tattoos. read more
