Regarding SEABROOK NH location. These are the RUDEST, most unprofessional people I have ever met.
My husband and I made an appointment to get tattoos after going into the shop to discuss what we wanted in detail with Dawn. She seemed helpful and made suggestions as to change up our idea. She was a little pushy with what she thought we should do but I thought she was just making sure we got the best quality tattoo. I had to find the artwork I wanted online and send it to her via Facebook which I thought was odd but okay.
When we came in, the drawing she gave us for my husband tattoos wasn't what we asked for. The placement of the name was in the wrong place. Dawn was completely offended that my husband wanted her to change it. She reminded us that her "artwork" should be billed at $120 an hour but she did it for free...Okay. The artwork was done on the computer. She also had the spelling of my husbands name wrong on my tattoo even after I sent her the spelling on facebook.
My daughter came in with us and wanted to see if she could get a very simple tattoo (in honor of my battle with breast cancer). It was a heart with a breast cancer ribbon on the side. Dawn warned her that the pink color she wanted for the ribbon (without a black outline) may spread over time. The design was very small and simple and my daughter really didn't want the outline. She was discussing it with my husband. He said "don't worry about it if that's what you really want. I've seen it before...you might need to fixed after time.". My daughter understood Dawn's advice but wanted to do it anyway. She's the paying customer, right??? WRONG.
When STEVE finished with the customer ahead of us, he called someone else over to the chair. Then he YELLED. Yes I mean YELLED across the tattoo shop, "I'M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR BUSINESS! YOU CAN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!" We were completely confused and embarrassed. When we asked why he said it was because he doesn't do business with people who "think they know more than we do about tattoos"! Dawn stepped in and said he overhead what my husband said about my daughters tattoo and thought it was very rude and disrespectful! UNBELIEVABLE! My husband tried to ask Steve how exactly his comment that my daughter's tattoo would be okay they way she wanted it if that's what she had her heart set on RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL???? He wouldn't even look up at my husband.
These people have GIGANTIC EGOS and have no interest in being polite to customers. Dawn and Steve want to churn out their "artwork" on the computer and have no one question them whatsoever. The customer doesn't have the right to have an opinion even though they are paying for the tattoo.
By the way, we went down the street to Jim's Tattoo. Everyone there was POLITE and FRIENDLY and PROFESSIONAL. My daughter got her tattoo the way she wanted it. Jim's was professional and advised her of what could happen to her tattoo over time. Joe did the tattoo and it was awesome.
Korie did my husband and I's tattoos and they came out awesome. The actual artwork was so much better and unique than the computer generated junk Tattoo America wanted to push on us! read more
