Recently went to Rockstar Tattoo Parlour in Pickering. Was very happy with the cleanliness and welcoming staff- unfortunately this was ruined for me once i had gotten my tattoo done...
My best friend and i had made an appointment with Kristina to get "matching tattoos" ... little did we know... they weren't actually going to be matching. After checking out Kristina's work on Instagram and other social media, we had decided that she was a fine fit for what we wanted.. SIMPLEST TATTOO OUT THERE- an airplane (symbolizing our love for travel and traveling together) i could not be more upset with how this tattoo turned out- it is completely botched. it's not symmetrical whatsoever, the lines don't add up from top to bottom of this tattoo, they're all over the place, line work was extremely messy, the tail of the plane is competently BOTCHED. what airplane tail is ROUNDED.... THE WORST PART IS WE GAVE HER AN ACTUAL PHOTO TO GO OFF OF/PRINT ONTO THE STENCIL PAPER...after the tattoo was complete, i saw ALL the mess ups and was unhappy- i figured when coming in for free touch up, she could fix this... but decided to go to an actual professional, and getting this fixed completely.
I highly do NOT recommend this parlour, as my sister also came here once, and they had given her something completely different from what she asked- unfortunately this was a much larger, more detailed piece that can not be fixed, and she is thinking of getting it covered up completely.
it's a convenient location, friendly and welcoming... but the artists are not experienced enough, in my opinion... especially with something so simple as a little airplane... NOT DETAILED OR ANYTHING JUST OUTLINED AND FILLED IN WITH BLACK INK. horrid. i'm absolutely distraught by this experience and will be going somewhere where more advanced, professional and experienced artists work.
DO. NOT GO. HERE. PASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
