i initially went to Ryu for a tattoo (a dragonfly-semi colon), & the work itself came out decent,…read morewhich is the only reason i considered returning. but, my second experience trying to book with him again, was completely different and deeply disappointing. from the moment i reached out, the communication was confusing, slow, & full of unnecessary attitude. when i sent a simple reference photo (which he acknowledged was AI-generated, but said he understood the idea), things shifted. he started getting super defensive, dismissive, & cold. i reminded him that he said he only does bigger tattoos, & i even offered to go elsewhere, to not waste his time on a 5" tattoo, respectfully. that's when his ego COMPLETELY took over. after i calmly pointing out how unprofessional the interaction had become, he blew up, & claimed i insulted him..... I received angry, profanity-filled messages accusing me of disrespect, when all i did was speak up about how i was being talked too. it was clear the issue wasn't about the tattoo, but about control, & wounded pride. the part that bothered me most was the uncalled-for insults. i met with curse words, aggression, & belittling behavior.. calling me childish, etc. all because i expected the bare minimum.. professionalism. he claimed i was trying to WRECK his business, because i mentioned leaving a review about my experience.. no one deserves to feel disrespected, or emotionally drained over a simple tattoo inquiry.

Guy seems nice but starts making me uncomfortable when he starts making sexual jokes, weird. So I sit down about to get pierced (my mistake) he sticks me with the needle and when it's about to come out of the other end, pulls it out and sticks me again, only to insert a bar that was way too long, and it is protruding out of my skin when it is supposed to be flush, no bar sticking out. I leave them notice it looks horrible I come back and he said it'll eventually sit, which is not true. I paid $55 for this (50 plus tip) biggest mistake ever, I get the bar taken out an hour later, only to see a 3rd hole was made, not sure why. Please learn from me and choose a reputable piercer.
