Do not come here unless you are fine with undisclosed, AI-designed tattoos…read more We booked with Ken, and came in for a consult. We provided numerous reference images and discussed the overall design and goal with him. We then paid a $500 deposit for him to design and draw the tattoo over the course of a month, with the rest due once we got the tattoo. We were really hopeful and encouraged based off his portfolio and the studio's overall reputation. First, we did not receive the design until 2 days before our appointment. Second, once we saw the design, it clearly involved clipart and AI. Third, the design did not match at all what we discussed in the studio. When we asked about how the design was generated, and specifically whether AI was used, Ken said no, he drew it himself. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked to talk about changes before coming to the studio. He said no, changes would have to be discussed and made same-day. Once we came to the studio, Ken was polite, but the disconnect only worsened. We explained the problems with the design, and gave additional reference images. He asked for some time to rework based off those reference images. 30 minutes later, he showed us a plainly AI generated, generic image that did not align with the design at all. At this point he admitted to using AI. We explained we did not want AI used to design the tattoo, and he said he would try again. 30 minutes later, he showed us a design outline. We noticed more inconsistencies that suggested it was still based off AI. We asked again whether AI was used again, and he admitted that he outlined the AI output based on a reference image we gave him. At this point we felt unheard and frustrated, and asked for a refund. He initially said no, and then ultimately conceded a partial-refund. In total, we spent $250 and 3 hours of our time to not get a human-made design, or a tattoo at all. We each have tattoos already. We appreciate and want to support artists. But this was unacceptable. If you want to know AI is not used in your tattoo, or feel confident that your design will be followed, do not go here.

Had a horrible experience with Killian (the owner) who was polite at first when I was originally…read moreagreeing with his vision for my tattoo. He asked me to send him inspiration so I created a sample in AI just to share my idea as he requested. He absolutely did not like that approach as he felt it inhibited his creative freedom. I tried explaining that it was just a point of reference, much like my Pinterest vision board. I was so excited on my way to the consultation appointment. However, after driving 1 hour in the rain, he cancelled it on the spot because of our creative differences. He claimed to have sent an email to cancel the meeting in advance but actually DID NOT so my time was completely wasted. I thought I was the client. A tattoo is a permanent decision. He even admitted to me in the first meeting that in his own words was literally "dog s*&t at checking email" which was an unprofessional red flag from the beginning. He actually repeated that statement several times to me. Now I see why. I feel that my input should be respected. Upon my arrival to his shop, Killian began to be confrontational and disrespectful with the tone in which he chose to speak. I mentioned that coming to the appointment (that he had just cancelled) was a bad use of my time, he became defensive and rude and blamed it on me. I found Killian to be unprofessional and difficult to work with. After leaving this review, he sent me an unpleasant email further voicing negative comments. Getting a tattoo or several in my case is a very personal experience where you should be made to feel completely safe and that is not the case with Killian. If you want to have creative input over your personal design process, I recommend going to Unbroken in Reston. You deserve respect when paying a vendor for a service and have your vision carried out professionally and collaboratively.

No problem but I'm driving four hours from out of town and driving back afterwards so I only got half my tattoo done that day but I PAID IN FULL ($1,600) for the full tattoo. Getting my tattoo finished has been a nightmare. The first appointment we had to finish it he rescheduled due to "scheduling conflicts" the second time he messages me a 1am the night before saying he "double booked" and we rescheduled once again, even though I had messaged him earlier in the week about to appointment. The last time I drove the four hours up there and sat in the waiting room for two hours before being told by the owner Linza that he didn't know he had a tattoo scheduled for that day, he didn't even have the decency to come tell me himself when I knew he was at the shop. Linza took my contact info after I asked for a partial refund. This was a month ago and after numerous attempts to contact Linza and Vinh I have received no reply and no refund. This shop has been extremely unprofessional and basically scammed me out of $800.

You sat me down and sized it up on my arm and gave me the quote and i even put a deposit down at the time (could've been $50, could've been $100). You saved the design on your computer. We had a date scheduled for me to come in and I believe something happened with your kids soccer tournament? The receptionist and I worked together for a couple weeks and I forget exactly what happened but it all fell through and I gave up. I tried calling there after that, but wasn't successful with you all returning my calls. This is all said and done, and it was years ago but i was hoping you still have the picture of the tatt saved? For the life of me I cannot find this design anymore Could you PLEASE reach out to me??

He is very knowledgeable about placement and design and steered me into the right direction and drew up the perfect sketch for me. He is an amazing artist! It's a small shop but they do a good job enforcing the social distancing; everyone wears masks and they sanitize their stuff between clients. Now on to the actual tattooing- day of, Neil and I went over our expectations and he was very thorough in making sure the tattoo stencil was the right size and we toyed around with placement options.
