So I am not one to blast people EVER but what happened was I went in and was on a budget and say down with one of the artists and told him what I wanted and the main thing was after the first session I wanted it to be where you would not be able to see the name that I was trying to cover up. He told me he would block me out an hour and that during that time he would do the outline and he would do some shading with white to help make the tattoo that I was covering lighter but said he would make sure that the name was less visible as possible and then we would let it heal and I would come back in a month to finish, I said that was fine, I didn't really want the rose but he said that was the best flower to use as a cover up and then the flowers that I chose originally we would go ahead and take those up for a sleeve, I said fine I just needed it covered. I had to pay a $100 deposit which was fine and was scheduled for the next week. When I went in I had already spoke to the gentleman in the front about how I had been there before but he said since they had moved I needed to fill out the paperwork again which is fine but I said I wish I would have known that cause I would have come in earlier instead of 5 min before my appointment time. I filled out the papers and was brought back to sit down, the artist was getting things ready and our start time was supposed to be 1130 but we didn't start till I would say 10-15 min after that, he started the tattoo, he was nice and we talked and then it was 1230 and he was done, I didn't get the full hour but I didn't complain because my really god friend referred me to this place and I figure he would make it up the next time, I was charged $50 before I left and then I left a tip. The artist did tell me that the tattoo would probably start to look like a burn but not to worry that was normal, I said okay, I kept up on the tattoo making sure it was being taken care of and then all of a sudden I saw this huge bruise, I didn't know what it was and just let it go but then it was bothering me because I have a lot of tattoos and I have never bruised, this is a picture of it after it was starting to heal a little and then I looked at another picture which was when the tattoo was being done and I could see his hand was right in that spot; it didn't hurt at the time but I did have to wear long sleeves not only because of the bruise but also because I didn't like how the tattoo looked being not even half done and the fact that you can still see the name plain as day and then as the days went on I started noticing in a certain area of the tattoo it had scarred and you can maybe not see it too well in the pictures but you can feel it for sure and it's raised and it's white just like a scar and I showed some other people and they agreed. I was going to talk to the artist about it when I went back in because I have never bruised nor have I ever got a scar from a tattoo. Anyways I was scheduled to go in today and when he blocked my session time he did it for 2 hours which he charges $150/hr so I would be looking at $300 more on top of the $150 I already paid, which for a rose that is not that big made me realize $459 is a lot of money and I had just ran into some more financial problems so I reached out to the shop via email and just told them I was going to need to cancel and explained why and then I just expressed my concerns about my experience there and what had happened, I was not asking for anything I was just specifically being informative and I did add in there that I felt that for this piece I was getting I felt that I was getting taken advantage of as far as how much it was going to end up costing me in the end so I was more than likely going to have to take my business elsewhere. I got upset is when I got a response back from the owner Randy, only met him once and he was not anywhere around when I had my initial consult and he literally was super disrespectful on his response, super defensive like I was trying to get something from his shop or bad mouth him. Super rude and unprofessional read more
