Sons of ink

"TERRIBLE SERVICE!! The owner verbally abused and harassed my friend and I after trying to negotiate a price on a tattoo that they were severely overpricing. We had explained that we completely respect that they’re charging What they believe their services are worth but we have gotten bigger and more detailed work done for less money so we respectfully declined the offer and tried to leave, upon that the owner decided to negotiate a reasonable price with us so that he would not lose the money but said we would have to pay for the service in advance. Once we had tapped our card to pay he immediately started attacking us calling us “broke” and threw his car keys at us saying “ take a good look at these keys because yall will never see money like this again In your lives” and went as far as calling us ghetto for not being willing to spend the price they quoted us EVEN THOUGH HE OFFERED TO GIVE IT TO US FOR LESS. Once the designs were printed out we had asked if they could reprint the design smaller because they were way bigger than the inspiration photos we had shown them, and their response was “are you really going to make me waste printer paper?” then they started to gaslight us by saying we need the design bigger because we’re gonna get fat when we’re older and we should be listening to people with money since we’re broke… after getting fed up with how rude the customer service was we had just decided to not get the services done at all and asked for our money back but the owner refused to give it to us saying there’s absolutely no refunds even for a service that has not been given. At that point the money wasn’t worth the verbal abuse and terrible customer service We had received so without our refund we left."

"PETTY , she pierced my nose ring far back just because i checked her for the actual price of the nose ring. She tried to charge me $50 when it was $25 when i had my jewelry . She used the gun and did not mark the location nor ask for my opinion to where she wanted to do it . she pierced it , to where it looks like it’s sliding off my nose . expensive and PETTY as hell"

"I bought a belly button ring today which was way overpriced ($25) for a simple one piece ring. Now when I check my statement the girl took $7 more than what she told me. Like I thought $25 was the final amount and all. I am never buying again and would not recommend them. I wish I could give 0 stars"

"I got my tattoo done here today! I loved artist who did it. Steady hand and attention to detail. Such clean lines. I will be coming back that is for sure!!"

"I came here two times in total back in March. I got a finger tattoo done and a naval done here and I've had somewhat of a difficult experience each time but only came back because of the prices. The first finger tattoo I got done, I was informed that I had to go to the other shop because none of the employees were there...odd for a tattoo and body piercing shop. I gave this girl who works there my phone for directions and I noticed that she was typing an awful lot for just putting directions into my phone. I didn't think nothing of it and went off to the shop to get my tattoo done. The artist completely freestyled the tattoo and didn't follow the stencil and it looked like I had just a fat glob of ink on my hand which was extremely hideous. I still have this glad on my finger and I honestly do regret spending $90 on this. You had to pay first before the service and refunds were not a thing that existed in this shop. My naval piercing...worst experience I ever went through. The owner did my piercing but he was showing the other worker how it was done, which was no problem, but she wasn't paying attention so he took out the piercing and pierced my naval again which was stupid. The piercing was visibly crooked and it was hanging by the thread of my skin but the owner told me that the bar was just moving with me and that it was just seen at a bad angle from my end. I left that shop confused with what the hell I just experienced and never went back. My piercing ended up rejecting within 2 weeks because of the placement. What a waste of $60. The workers love to talk about each customer that walks in and they are extended rude and vulgar. The owner is the worst because I feel like he creates prices in his head and only says what something costs based on his emotions. Going back to when the worker had my phone, I found out that she was writing reviews for both of the shops and giving themselves 5 stars. I didn't find out about this until I checked my email and saw that my review received 100 views. I instantly deleted it once I saw it because there's no way I'll support a shop that creates fake reviews just for customers. These people are money hungry and I'll never recommend them to anybody at all. If you're considering going to get a tattoo or piercing, just walk up the block to Rising Phoenix! They're more professional and completely reasonable."
