To begin, I'd like to start off by saying that I was really impressed with the shop at first. It's clean, it's colorful, they've got cool art, and they've got a ruleboard that explicitly says you have to be sober. I thought that was awesome, 'cause it showed professionalism and seemed like the perfect place to get something done. I was so ready to get a tattoo here.\n\n...And then I spoke to the artist.\n\nI wanted to see what his advice was for a tattoo touchup, and get a general price estimate. Sounds totally reasonable, right? WRONG. Apparently, by asking for a price quote (to compare with other tattoo rates), I was rude and out of line. \n\nHe then informed me that, if I were to leave and come back, he would assume that he was the cheapest and that he would increase the amount. Yes, you read that right: I would basically be charged extra just because I wanted to make sure I was making a financially-informed decision.\n\nThe shop was cool, but this guy was a jerk. Totally not worth it. Kind of a shame, because the artists who were under him seemed like they might be cool and talented... And as a side note, even those guys looked a little uncomfortable with their bosses behavior.\n\nGo somewhere else. Their rates aren't the best, and the behavior I encountered was totally uncalled for. Seriously, the best work in the world couldn't justify paying to sit in a room with this guy for a few hours.\n\nEdit: I just remembered something else he said to me. After he told me he'd increase the price if I left and came back later, he informed me that, \"[He] doesn't really care. [He's] not starving for business.\" Clearly he doesn't care about his clients if that's his attitude on people who come into his shop... Just sayin'.
