I went to Hepcat Tattoo for what should have been a simple tattoo. Things did not go well from the…read morestart as I made an appointment with Lyle who then contacted me to reschedule - twice (both times for personal reasons). I then rescheduled for a 1pm appointment but when I arrived I was told that Lyle was with another client and the work was more intricate than he first thought. I was given the option of having the work done by Nathan - I was sceptical as he was young so I asked if he was sure he could do the work whereupon he showed me several photos on his phone of work he had done previously, most of which appeared to be well done. I wanted two words (the nickname for my daughter ), a four word phrase, two music notes and a small Texas Bluebonnet flower. Nathan said they had tattooed Texas Bluebonnets before so he knew what they were and what they looked like. I showed him a photo of a tattoo of a bluebonnet my daughter had recently had done and which was beautiful. Nathan, told me, after he had finished the tattoo that he had problems with my older skin (I'm 73) - if that was the case he should have stopped at the first sign of a problem so we could discuss how to proceed -- but he didn't. What I ended up with was thick lettering, the one single music more resembling an exercise hand dumbbell and the Texas Bluebonnet looking nothing like a flower, rather it looks like a hairy blue banana which is going a little mouldy along its green centre line. I have been in contact with Stu the owner, who did offer suggestions in the form of more music notes, but the tattoo itself is so ugly that additional work would be like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I am now looking at over £1,000 to have the tattoo removed by a well-established dermatology business. As I am a pensioner, this is an extra cost I will have some difficulty paying, especially with today's excessively high cost of living. I suggested to Stu that perhaps I should be reimbursed the amount I paid to have this eyesore tattooed tattooed -- he said I should return to the shop and ask Nathan if he would reimburse the money. I live a considerable distance from Glasgow and with ferry fare, train fare and taxi I would have to pay out over £30 to return - and would Nathan reimburse my money - I doubt it. I may be a senior but I'm not stupid enough to throw good money after bad. Shame on you Stu, Nathan, Lyle and Hepcat Tattoo.

My guy and I popped in here to ask about their laser removal. He has a piece on his arm he got…read morewhen he was younger that is just about light enough to cover (the person he used to go to for removal moved to Edinburgh) but he was thinking he wanted just one more go at removal before getting it covered. He was told that he might not need another go at it given how light it was, which was nice to hear knowing that the guy who does removal wasn't going to just take his money for nothing. I asked about some small stars on my arms that are quite light due to a previous attempt to have them removed so I asked him about those as well. Apparently, the laser her uses doesn't remove blue at all, which is why he wouldn't take me as a client either. I really appreciated being told that instead of just giving it a go and wasting my money. For anyone who wants some tattoos removed, this is the place to go. Honest answers and honest work.
