I was debating posting this, because the tattoo itself is fine. I do like it…read more And he was friendly during tattooing afterwards. But it's been bugging me. But it took almost an hour of arguing and fixing it to how I had already asked in the initial booking email to get to that point. I do not recommend going to Aartistic Inc in Winooski. I thought I was going to a tattoo ARTIST that would at least take the 2 seconds to read what his client wanted, not a tattoo copyist who just wanted to copy paste someone else's tattoo. I sent multiple reference photos (3) and explained what I wanted out of each photo prior to being booked, but when we arrived he basically was like "just pick one of the references and I'll copy it exactly". He even used the words "I'm not interested." I would have walked out if I didn't really want to get a tattoo on that exact day (our 11 year anniversary). Even with copying, he couldn't even at least be bothered to move one of the parts to the spot I had asked. (The sword being through the crown instead of the crown being above it) Until after being rude about it and me having to point it out in the email in front of his face that I in fact, did ask for that. He had papers printed of the wrong thing, I asked why they were like that and he had an attitude and was like "because that's how YOU asked for them" I just said "uh, no." And he went and pulled up my emails on a big tv screen and still tried to argue with me by pointing to my references I sent. I literally walked up to the screen and read off what I had asked for while pointing to it with my finger. He STILL CONTINUED to argued it because I sent the reference pictures and he "just goes by what picture I send". I said "well I didn't know you were just going to not read my email and just copy a reference image exactly." He said "that's what we do here." lol ok then say that and deny the booking, don't accept custom work if you don't do that. As soon as we walked in the door he had an attitude and was acting like we were a bother to him. Next time don't accept work if you don't want to do it? Every other tattoo I have I didn't have this experience. My thigh tattoo, the artist spent 5 hours drawing for me before tattooing it. And this dude couldn't even be bothered to read one sentence and copy paste one part.

It's OK. Nothing to write home about, and given the small selection in Burlington specifically,…read morethey are on the better end of the spectrum so if you aren't willing to travel to Montreal or Boston or New York where real talent is, or if you desire a distinctly "Vermont" tattoo (cmon, you know the style when you see it), this might be a good place to go. My experience here was really disappointing, though the reason I went here was because people recommended it. Without going into much detail, there wasn't anyone running reception when I arrived (don't put your clients in the weird position of having to interrupt artists already working). My artist ignored our appointment time. When I arrived, she was totally unprepared and unprofessional about handing the situation, clearly in the middle of another client's job when I arrived; and has ignored multiple inquiries regarding a touch up in the months following. I've got a lot of tattoos, it's a big hobby of mine - traveling around to get them done and collaborating with the artist is a big part of it for me - I could just be turning into a snob. It was an incredibly rushed job that wasn't executed well the first-time and I recently had fixed by someone else.

I called a few days prior to make my appointment, they were very flexible and fit me right in for an afternoon on Saturday! I walked right in and there was Ryan ready and willing to draw out my design, I showed him a picture on my phone and he replicated it so beautifully and made it turn out exactly how I wanted it. After the drawing was done the stencil was on and he went right to work. As nervous as I was being it was my first time Ryan made it so easy and I had an amazing conversation with him, everything being used was clean and everyone their was so polite and kind. I enjoyed every bit of the experience, if and when I consider getting another tattoo this is the place for me and I highly suggest it for anyone near Burlington VT looking to getting a perfect tattoo to come here. I love Event Horizon, Thanks Ryan!!!!!
