Women, DO NOT GO HERE! I heard this shop had closed…read morepermanently & I hope it has. I didn't post a review when this happened, but I am now in case this guy, Jason, goes to get a job at another tattoo shop, they will know what kind of person he is. I went to Shanghai Tattoo to get a simple tattoo about 6 years ago, on the recommendation of a coworker. Jason (I see from other reviews that his name is Lightfoot) kept making sexually suggestive comments, which made me uncomfortable. I was 30 at the time, but looked a lot younger. When I told him that I had a boyfriend, he said he could lock the door & do stuff to make me forget all about my boyfriend. I told him I changed my mind & wanted to leave. He acted like he was going to block my way & I said very loudly, I AM LEAVING! He let me pass & I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I wish I had reported it to the police or the BBB or at least left a review then but the entire thing shook me up so bad, I just wanted to forget it. A friend of mine (who knew what had happened) saw him online, harassing women & asked if that was him (it was). I felt I needed to warn other women. This guy is predatory & should not be working with the public.

WARNING GRAPHIC!…read more Young women, DO NOT GO HERE. These are just some of the texts from Jason. I never directly even gave him my phone number. I was just his client and he reached out through the number on file. This all happened back in 2019 when I was 18. He sent many messages and asked me to spend Valentines with him even though I never made any advances while in his shop or anything. Horrible experience. Stay safe girls!

The employees in this place are rude and dishonest.

I also noticed several underage kids walking out of the building in the back, smoke poured out the door as they opened it so you can imagine what they were doing. I certainly wouldn't trust any of these guys with a needle, because if they water the ink down when they sell it, just to make an extra buck, they probably do the same to the ink they tattoo with.

I wanted it real and shaded, I have bright blue tribal looking lines and now one can tell there is a moon there, I have to ware a shirt anywhere I go. I am a women, I own my own business and it is pretty much a scar!! IZZY DID NOT LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID. When he was finished, I thought it was just the outline, and I had to asked where the moon was. I left so shocked. I later texted him and told him how unhappy I was and that there was nothing he could do to fix it (I would never let him touch me again) I just wanted to let him know .

This is the first time I've had something done to my natural nails that I have fallen in love with. If you haven't already looked them up on instagram, do it. They do amazing work. I'm extremely weary of having designs done on my nails because I fear someone messing it up, but after looking at their instagram I knew this was the place for me. I wanted this cute fall swirl look and I got exactly what I asked for. The workers were so nice as well! They sat and chatted with me and my friend. We had a great time and it was exactly what we needed after a long day at work. Bonus points, the hand massage at the end felt amazing! I will definitely become a regular here. I can't wait to try a bunch of the nails designs that I've been dreaming of here.
