Owners and staff are amazing. Except one artist named Jon that I had a recent experience with. Does good work but will hustle you.
Was quoted $450 for a piece to be completed, took longer then expected so was told I had to pay 600$ for it instead. Wasn’t very happy with that because I paid for the piece, not by the hour, and if there was a chance it would have taken longer and the cost would go up then I should have been informed of that prior to starting and I would have said no to having it completed.
When I went in for my Final appointment and talked to him about my concerns he was very stern “said that he was trying to be professional so he didn’t sound like an asshole” and advised me that if he had of charged by the hour then it would have cost me a lot more and that he’s already put in double the hours he initially thought so he should get paid for it. So I advised him he should have taken that into consideration when quoting me a price for the piece.
If I was told a price for the whole piece, I expect to pay that price regardless if it takes 1 hour or 10 hours. If the tattoo only takes an hour to finish he wouldn’t let me pay less for it, so why am I getting charged more because it’s taking a little longer?
Otherwise he should have just charged me by the hour.
So now I have paid 500$ Which is more then what I was originally quoted at and have an unfinished piece because he refused to finish it unless I paid the extra money.
Definitely not a good experience and will definitely not return to them.
