I was told by the word of the tattoo artist I scheduled with (and gave a $100+ deposit to) that I…read morewould receive a mock-up of the idea I gave him prior to our appointment date set in approx. three weeks from consultation. They had my email and my Instagram to get it a mock up to. I received nothing, and when I got a call confirming my appointment, I brought this up. Still, I received nothing. I did not attend the appointment because I had not received what was promised. I explained this to the shop owner over the phone, and I quote "how old are you? You should know that it is your responsibility to show up for an appointment. This is the most bogus thing I have ever heard. It is not in our policy to provide a mock up, and because you are not here for your appointment, we would normally take your deposit and you would provide a new one. However, I will hold your deposit and you can reschedule if you would like." She hung up on me after I declined. I don't know about you, but I personally would not risk going to a tattoo shop after that interaction. I have been told in the past not to go to Jacksonville tattoo shops because they take advantage of Marines, and I believe this rings true. I've gotten tattoos in California, Arizona and Wilmington, and not one shop has required a deposit to make an appointment. However, two shops in Jacksonville I've been to (ATS and Forbidden) have required this. I've paid both and been tattoo'd by neither because I've been stunned by their treatment of clients and expectations both.

Unfortunately I wasn't the brightest in my 20's and got a man's name on my rib cage of all places. I shopped around at few tattoo shops and my last stop was Stout's House of Pain. Just based upon vibes alone I already trusted ED with what I had in mind. To my disbelief it actually became a fun and easy going experience. The man is awesome, personable, and somehow got me to laugh when I wasn't in the mood, lol. His work is amazing and he delivered well above any expectations I had before choosing him as my artist. If you need any work done, he is your man. The place is also extremely clean and they have a really friendly staff. 5/5 this is the place to go.
