"My visit to this tattoo place was unfortunately marred by a series of disappointments, primarily revolving around their incredibly poor customer service. One of the major issues was the repeated assurance that I would receive a sketch before my scheduled appointment after making a deposit. However, this promise was far from reality, as I found myself waiting a frustrating two hours past my appointment time before laying eyes on the first sketch. During this prolonged wait, the atmosphere in the shop was less than professional. Instead of focusing on client needs, the staff engaged in casual conversations, making the entire experience feel unorganized and unprofessional. This lack of attention and consideration only intensified my growing dissatisfaction. To compound matters, when I finally did get to see the initial sketch, it was not at all in line with what I had envisioned for my tattoo. The miscommunication and deviation from my expectations left me feeling frustrated and disheartened about the entire process. As if these experiences weren't enough, I was taken aback by the demand to pay the remaining balance, which was less than 10% of the overall cost, days before the tattoo was even completed. This aggressive approach felt completely unwarranted and unprofessional. The undue pressure to settle the remaining payment "or else" cast a shadow over what should have been an exciting and positive experience. In summary, the poor customer service, delayed sketches, unprofessional atmosphere, and lastly the threatening demand for payment have left me with an overall negative impression of this tattoo place. After spending over 5k on a tooth implant and hundreds or thousands of dollars for other services (all of which charge customers after rendering a service) should it even be socially acceptable for these shops to ask for payment prior to delivering a service anyway? Either way, I would caution anyone considering their services to carefully weigh the potential frustrations before committing to an appointment."

"I got a tattoo from Andres Martinez, he was a guest artist. My tattoo came out amazing, I'm very happy. I will definitely be returning to this shop. It was super clean and a very cool, comfortable environment. The owners were very nice and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The other artists were amazing too. I definitely recommend this shop."
