Called the shop a month ago and told them exactly what I wanted and sent artwork. Was told this wasn't a problem and the guy was happy to accept my deposit. Fast forward the day came when I traveled to this place to get my tattoo in wine country, and was told "there was no way I can do that" and was told "to leave my f*cking shop" when I asked for my deposit back. Don't waste your time with the appeal of getting a tattoo here in wine country, because these hillbillies just sucks off tourist and just do the actual work on the locals.

Absolutely HORRIBLE Experience -- Skin City Tattoo…read more I brought my 13-year-old twins to Skin City Tattoo for their FIRST EVER piercing. We had made an appointment, paid the $40 deposit, and walked in excited and ready to make a fun memory for my girls. Instead, Jeric Radford managed to turn what should have been an exciting experience into one of the most uncomfortable and disappointing customer-service experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, Jeric was rude, condescending, passive-aggressive, and completely unprofessional. He demanded identification from my 13-year-old daughter. We didn't have the exact form of ID he wanted, but we showed him a screenshot of her school information and were actively trying to provide additional documentation. Rather than simply explaining the policy like a professional, he repeatedly reminded us that it was "in bold letters" when making the appointment online. Yes, Jeric, we heard you the first time. And the second. And the third. Apparently repeating yourself is part of the customer-service training here. While we're scrambling to provide whatever documentation he needed, he then tells us that he can no longer see us because our appointment time was up. He repeated that several times as well--as if we somehow forgot in the 30 seconds since he last announced it. The irony is that the appointment wasn't even allowed to move forward because of the identification issue HE brought up, yet somehow we were made to feel like we were the problem for running out of time. Watching my daughters go from excited to disappointed was honestly heartbreaking. This wasn't just a piercing appointment. It was supposed to be their first piercing experience, something they were excited about and would remember. Instead, they got to experience firsthand what happens when someone has absolutely no interest in treating people with basic kindness or professionalism. And let me be very clear: I don't care how talented you are at tattooing or piercing. Talent does not give you permission to treat people like garbage. If Jeric worked for me and spoke to customers the way he spoke to us, he wouldn't be working for me for very long. Businesses spend thousands of dollars trying to attract customers, only to have one person with a terrible attitude drive them right back out the door. There was ZERO warmth. ZERO professionalism. ZERO attempt to de-escalate the situation. Just attitude, excuses, and an obvious lack of concern for the fact that two young girls were standing there having their excitement completely crushed. Jeric, you may want to consider that the problem isn't always the customer. Sometimes it's the person looking back at you in the mirror. I sincerely hope you learn that being kind costs absolutely nothing. If you don't enjoy interacting with people, customer service might not be the career choice for you. As for Trash City Tattoo: we will never be back. There are far too many talented artists and piercers who understand that customers deserve to be treated with respect. Highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. Your money--and your experience--will be better spent somewhere that actually appreciates both.

From the moment I arrived, I felt heard, unrushed, and like the artist genuinely cared about the work he was creating. Cameron did an incredible job. My tattoo turned out beautifully, and he was so gentle I honestly could have fallen asleep during the session. The shop itself felt extremely clean, the artists had a fun camaraderie with each other, and the overall vibe was welcoming and comfortable. I've spent years considering a back tattoo, and after this experience I felt confident enough in Cameron's artistry and professionalism to immediately book a consultation for a larger piece. Couldn't recommend him and the shop more.
