READ ALL THE REVIEWS SO MANY 2 star reviews from customers. Sad I didn’t read the reviews. If you are black don’t go here!Both shops have racist people and it’s so obvious. Racism is a mental malfunction. You’re not going to find many reviews that say otherwise.The owner does outstanding work I’ll admit that but he’s super expensive (rightfully so, his work speaks for itself) HOWEVER; terrible leader, he makes excuses for his employees and their racist behavior and poor work. I’m a person that pays well and tips well didn’t matter I’m black.. Just recently I had a tattoo artist Olga, who did horrible work begrudgingly and with a very nasty demeanor for no reason. The first guy that agreed to do the tattoo for 120 then mysteriously said he felt sick and couldn’t do it after I gave my thoughts on what I wanted on MY body; simple roman numerals of an area code and address from my childhood. So he pushed me off on Olga who took the price up to 150, I knew I should have left. I think they were thinking I would leave because of the price. They didn’t think I could actually pay it. But I believe in paying people for great work; turns out it was nowhere near great. I contacted Sam sent pictures and he went straight to victim blaming saying things like are you cleaning it, it looks dry to me. Which wasn’t the case I have very large tattoos and I know how to take care of tattoos it wasn’t just hurtful that this person took something that was very meaningful to me and botched it but that the owner showed no concerns, no apologies just let it heal and we can touch it up. BLACK PEOPLE DON’T GO TO EITHER OF THEIR SHOPS!!!!! I will repost with pictures. I’ve seen people post her work mine was nothing like what some people posted so it goes back to how black people are treated in their shops. I’m not sure how to post a picture but I will once a figure it out;horrible place. Don’t waste your money, the tattoo will fade in two weeks and you will be told it just needs lotion and a touch up. I will be reporting to the BBB. IF YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS ITS NOT YOU AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE JUST READ THE REVIEWS THESE ARE NOT GOOD HUMANS and it’s sad DON’T go in there!
