    Answered
    I had two tattoos created on each of my two knees on January 19, 2022 and February 16, 2022 respectively. The cost for the two tattoos ($500) was paid in full prior to the creation of the first tattoo with the final installment being paid on January 19, 2022. The artist for both tattoos was Jason *******. With tips it cost me $700. The first tattoo went well even though he put dots where I told him not to. The second knee was awful. He did not follow the stencil so it isn't shaped the same as the first knee. He used black instead of white ink and when I questioned him he lied to my face while I was still in the shop and said it was white but swollen... It is still black months later while the first is white. The quality is also extremely different with only line work and NO shading. When I texted him about the issue he replied but offer no solution. So I contacted the business owner. He told me that he would "take a look" and to come in that tues. Or wed. He said come by anytime, no set time or anything. I wasn't able to make tues. So I call wed before I headed over and was met with rage and abuse. He screamed at me on the phone saying I missed an appointment I wasn't even aware of. That he was going to tattoo me tues! He never made me aware of this and it was so soon after the tattoo I didnt think he was able to tattoo me without health risks. When I tried calmly trying to find a solution he cusses me out more and hung up. I tried getting a refund but the business has not offered me a solution still! The tattoos I hired them for were never completed. They were done wrong in accordance to my own artwork I brought in. And now I am battling breast cancer and a blood clot so I will not be able to have it fixed until I am better. This has led me to extreme emotional and psychological trauma. I have body image issues now and cannot wear shorts. The quality is so horrible its hard to look at without crying. I waited for 7 years for this tattoo.. I'd like a refund

    My experience with them use to be amazing. They had great artists and were kind. I draw my own art and then have them tattoo onto me... Until I got my bees tattooed on my knees. Jason ******** was my artist. The right knee went great even though they played games with me regarding scheduling. He did exactly what I wanted. He put white dots in the wings and verbally told me "I love using white ink". However he did put dots above the bee which... Weren't supposed to be there. But I let it go due to the quality being so great. The left knee is awful. Compared to the right knee this been looks like its drawn by a preschooler. And its stuck on my body forever now. He used no white at all only black and put black dots where white ones were supposed to go, ruining my own art on my own body. And when I questioned it while still in the shop he LIED TO MY FACE and said he used gray. Obviously he didnt. I expressed my deepdepression about how a tattoo I've been waiting for for 7 years now got horribly messes up on my own skin. When the owner refused to allow jason fix it he told me to come in on a Tuesday or Wednesday. I had a emergency that Tuesday so I called Wednesday and he flipped out on me. Screaming at me on the phone! I demanded a refund. My tattoos weren't even finished and I had spent $700!! I never got a refund. I never got a finished tattoo and they were horrible people. Now I'm actually battling a 14in blood clot in my right arm and breast cancer so I'll be unable to have it fixed for god knows how long. I cry all the time looking at this horrible tattoo that was supposed to be my art work. I don't wear shorts this summer and have body image issues with my legs now because of this.

    Do not go to them of you want to be treated like a human being. They don't care. Its all about stealing your money.

    I've added the pictures of my own art to my google review so you can see what they did to my body. I think I still deserve a refund.
