I recently saw my friend's memorial tattoo for his late father and I asked where he went and he recommended this place. I reviewed the website and contacted two specific artists: Noble and Joker. They both were highly responsive, receptive to what I wanted and were able to take me in for a consultation and do my tattoo in such a quick turnaround. I am VERY pleased with the results! Noble: Specializes in black/white/realism. Very great with florals. Joker: Specializes in color/realism/cartoons/etc. They were both patient and fun to talk to! I will certainly be back! THANK YOU!

I texted the number on the website and received a detailed response right away. Trinity introduced herself as my "Master Piecer" and when I arrived, she knew exactly who I was, even greeting me by name. Trinity might be one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Her kind and welcoming demeanor really make you forget she's about to stab you in the face. She assured me: "all I need is 19 seconds" and please believe I counted. She was right. I was in and out in 5 minutes. I got the stud, because she didn't have a gold ring. But, she says she will gladly switch out any jewelry if I didn't feel comfortable doing it on my own. Outside of the pain of a punctured nostril, you can't beat friendly service and affordable prices, I will definitely be back.

After that , the artist didn't work on me for 3 three hours. By the time the first tattoo was done it too late to start on the second one. I was told to come back later on in the week for another session. When I arrived on time again he had me wait while he "ran errands". Then after an hour of waiting the artist was doing everything else but my tattoo. Had multiple people coming in and out of the shop with no masks on. The artist left with his friend while I was waiting in lobby. Even his friends that were coming in and out of the shop were asking when was he going to work on my tattoo. I arrived at 6:30 and got tired of waiting while and left at 11:00PM while he just sat in tattoo room with the door closed. I attempted to reach out to the artist but kept getting the run around about getting another appointment. I ended up just asking for my money back for the second tattoo and the artist didn't want to give my money back. The artist was very conniving and told me the $650 I gave him for the tattoo was non-refundable. Im currently working on a small claims to receive my money back.

My niece scheduled an appointment to have some work done by this local DMV tattoo artist…read more @_sebastian_tattoos He requested a $500 deposit be sent to him via an account transfer. Once he received the deposit an appointment was set for Feb. 10th. On Feb. 10th Anthony aka Sebastian canceled my niece appointment stating that he had to finish up with a client. Another appointment date was set for Feb. 13th. When that day came he canceled the appointment again stating that he was working on a client. Another date was set for Feb. 16th. Anthony canceled her appointment again, this being the third time. He stated that he was feeling under the weather and asked if he could reschedule for a later time that day. My niece had originally explained to Anthony(Sebastian) that she was here on leave from the military and that she would be departing on Feb. 19th heading back out of the country for active duty. Due to the many cancellations on his end my niece requested that he refund her money since he was unable fulfill his end of the contract. I also reached out to Anthony (Sebastian) to attempt to rectify the situation but he later blocked me when I insisted that a refund be given to her since he voided the contract the moment he canceled her appointment. Unfortunately we were able to find out that he has done this to other individuals. As a black community we try to support black businesses but with situations like this it makes it hard to do so.

So my actual tattoo process was fine and I'm very happy with the end product. However, there's…read moredefinitely some admin stuff that needs major improvement. I was initially scheduled on 3/2 for a tattoo, got a text from the artist that morning asking if we could reschedule b/c they were sick. Fine, life happens. I was happy to reschedule and they were able to get me in the next week. Well the appointment rolls around and I show up about 5 minutes early. Here's where the problems start. The doors are locked b/c they're currently appointment only. They have a doorbell, so all well and good? No. There's no one who works the front desk and apparently they can't hear the doorbell upstairs where they're working. So it's cold out and I'm standing outside trying to get ahold of the artist so I can get my tattoo. I try calling the phone number for the studio but it's just an automated message. Luckily I had the artist's cell phone number. After about 10 minutes, the artist comes downstairs and has clearly forgotten about the appointment and has another client right now. Asks if I can wait 45 minutes. I say yes, had already been rescheduled once and drove in for this. They wrap up with their other client and then need time to do the art for the tattoo. Not sure if this is part of their normal process to do the art during the appointment or if this was because they forgot. Anyway about an hour and 30 minutes after my initially scheduled time, I am finally getting my tattoo. The tattoo came out very nice and the artist did a very good job, which is why I'm giving 4 stars and also not naming them. Because tbh, my feeling is this all could have been avoided if Fatty's employed an admin person to handle bookings/reschedulings/letting people in the door. Yes, it wasn't the most professional thing to forget about an appointment but life happens. I have a feeling that when they were sick they just forgot to add it to the system -- something that likely wouldn't have happened if there was an admin person handling the bookings! So tl;dr got a very nice tattoo but had my appointment forgotten about and had to wait 1.5 hours beyond initial appointment time. Studio needs an admin person!
