Warning to Future Customers of Black Lotus Tattoo Studio in Lake City, FL:…read more I don't usually put businesses on blast, but I feel it's important to share the experience my boyfriend had with Raven at Black Lotus. He paid $1300 in full and in advance for a tattoo that was not even a quarter finished. The work performed was subpar, and when he politely expressed his concerns, Raven responded with extreme rudeness and unprofessionalism, as you can see in the screenshots. My boyfriend is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, and he's too nice to speak up about this. I'm not going to sit back and let someone take advantage of him. Losing that much money for an incomplete and poorly executed service can be devastating for anyone, especially when you trust someone with your body and your hard-earned money. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this kind of experience. Thankfully, he went to Travis at Voiced by Design, who was able to flawlessly fix the tattoo. Travis did an incredible job, and I can't recommend him enough for his skill and professionalism. Please be cautious if you decide to go with Raven, and know that there are talented artists in Lake City like Travis who can really make a difference.
