Krybabys Tattoo Studio 2

I normally don’t leave negative reviews, but after multiple appointments and ongoing issues, I feel like I need to share my experience. My initial appointment on April 20th started with my artist letting me know she would be about 15 minutes late. Things happen, so I didn’t think much of it and let it go. When I came back for my touch-up on May 19th, there was another miscommunication that resulted in me waiting an additional 30 minutes. Again, I tried to be understanding. Unfortunately, my tattoo faded again after the touch-up. When I reached out to the shop’s assistant, they responded to my first message but then completely stopped replying. I eventually messaged my artist on Instagram, where my message was left on read. After expressing that I felt this was unprofessional, I was finally scheduled for yet another touch-up this time having to pay for it. What made the experience even more frustrating was the constant shift of blame onto me. Since this was my first tattoo, I relied on my artist to guide me through the process. Instead, I was repeatedly made to feel like the problems were somehow my fault because I “didn’t know” how tattoos worked. As someone getting their first tattoo, I expected education and professionalism, not to be made to feel responsible for issues that I couldn’t have anticipated. Today was the final straw. After I had already arrived for my appointment, I was told my artist would once again be 15 minutes late. There was no apology or consideration for my time, and throughout the appointment the artist was not polite and made the entire experience uncomfortable. Being late once is understandable. But being late at every appointment, having poor communication, ignoring messages, requiring multiple touch-ups because the tattoo continued to fade, shifting blame onto a first-time client, and then charging me again while providing poor customer service is unacceptable. I invested my time, money, and trust into this experience, and it has been disappointing from beginning to end. I cannot recommend this shop based on my experience. I hope they improve their communication, professionalism, accountability, and respect for their clients’ time. The photos below are my first time getting it done, it’s fade, second time getting it done, and it’s smaller fade, and the current fresh tattoo

Lovinia Nowlin was my tattoo artist and she did an amazing job! I’m obsessed with my strawberry tattoo, it turned out perfect!! She was so nice, fun to talk to, and made the whole experience super comfortable. Definitely recommend her!

We had an amazing experience with Jay P. He took in my entire family as walk-ins (which is already impressive), and somehow managed to keep things running smoothly while dealing with how crazy we are. He handled all of us with patience, humor, and zero judgment — honestly a saint. Jay is so down-to-earth and genuinely funny, which made the whole experience relaxed and fun instead of stressful. He kept us laughing the entire time and made everyone feel comfortable. On top of that, his work is top-tier — clean lines, great detail, and exactly what we wanted. The shop was clean, professional, and had an awesome vibe. We all left happy, laughing, and already planning our next tattoos. Huge shout-out to Jay P for putting up with our chaos and still delivering incredible work. Highly, highly recommend.

This is the second time I’ve gotten a tattoo done by Ink by Ike, and I can honestly say I’m very impressed. He was extremely patient with us while we picked out designs and made minor adjustments, making sure we truly loved what we were getting tattooed. He created a very comfortable and respectful environment for us as women, which meant a lot. His tattoo work is amazing, and the quality speaks for itself. I’m definitely planning a third visit! My sister even traveled 8 hours from Austin, Texas, to have work done by him, which alone says a lot. Highly recommend!!!

I have had multiple pieces done at Krybabys and I have never had a negative experience! I’ve had the privilege of working with Landon multiple times and his talent speaks for itself!! I’ve had different size pieces done by him over the last 6 months and with each piece he has always made sure I was 100% happy with the design. I highly recommend Landon! Although, every artist at Krybabys 1,2, and 3 are extremely talented and do great work! So you really can’t go wrong with any of them.
