    On Friday, September 29, 2012 I stopped by Finelines tattoo and scheduled a tattoo for Saturday,…read moreOctober 6th at noon. It was agreed that I would pay in full, $300 for this service. I wrote a check in the amount of $300 to the owner of Finelines tattoo. On Thursday, October 4th, I called Finelines tattoo and confirmed my appointment for noon on Saturday, October 7th. Upon my travel to my appointment, at 11:25am, I received a phone call from the owner of Finelines tatto, Nichole Childs, informing me that she could not give me my tattoo due to illness. I explained to her that not only had I paid in full, I also called Thursday to confirm. I had also already left my house, and was headed to my appointment. She said that she could not meet me. I then demanded the return of my money for her failure to provide the promised services. At this point, she claimed that she "had already paid her rent, and could not refund". She also stated that she would like to reschedule. I informed her that I could not reschedule, the earliest time I would be able to would be December. I also stated that I had already arranged for this to be done today, and if she could not fulfill her obligation, I wanted my money back. Nichole told me at that point she would need to call me back. At 11:37am, she did in fact call me back. Wherein, she stated that I could stop by Wednesday, October 10th, and collect my money. ($300) Upon arrival on Wednesday, October 10th, Nichole informed me that she would not refund my money. She claimed at that point that she has a no refund policy, and she could not be held responsible for becoming ill. I informed her that she was in fact the one that broke the agreement for services, and she specifically told me to stop by for my refund. At this point, she refused to return my $300 to me. She then told me to leave her store! I have the cancelled check. This is theft by any other definition.

    The gal whom tattooed my feet with my sons newborn feet, did a fabulous job. I'll definitely be…read morecoming back for more ink from you, I think your name was Nicole. Thank you so very much!

    I don't even know where to begin to express my gratitude for Kailah Bartolome at Black Opal Tattoo…read moreStudio!! I am absolutely obsessed with my tattoo!!! It's exactly what I envisioned and more! It's beautiful! It's timeless! It's a masterpiece! As someone who has wanted a partial sleeve for awhile and a resident of San Diego, finding an artist who could embody what I envisioned was extremely important to me. Kailah was exactly the artist I had been looking for- I'm so glad I made the trek. From the moment I made the decision to get a tattoo with her, the process was streamlined, professional, and individualized. Kailah was very collaborative with me while planning the piece of art. I valued her professional recommendations, while she supported my vision. Black Opal was located across from the Deschutes River in Bend, which I found super cool and grounding before entering the building. The studio was super clean and decorated incredibly- modern, vibrant, and classy. I felt so comfortable there, and not going to lie, I felt like a total BA. While getting the tattoo, Kailah was able to meticulously ink (Check out the shading on my tatt- so good), while also keeping great conversation with me. We laughed and solved the world's problems, which definitely took my mind off of the pain. Her support team and colleagues were wonderful too! I left Black Opal feeling more than a client, a long time friend! If you are interested in getting more than a tattoo, a tattoo experience, then, Kailah Bartolome at Black Opal is the way to go. P.s. She's a female artist in a male-dominated industry, and owns her own studio. Talk about a boss... AMAZING! Thanks again Kailah~ Jaclyn

    I waited 2 years to be tattooed by Kailah and I was NOT disappointed. She has a very light touch in…read moreher tattooing. And to say she has mad skills is an understatement. I'm absolutely in LOVE with my tattoo. It's not JUST BEAUTIFUL but it's everything I wanted. It is big but took us just under two hours. She is as fast as she is talented. I have no bad things to say whatsoever except that I wish I could have done it sooner! I will totally be back for more work though. I stayed for a second tattoo as Aaron Borden was able to fit me in and hook me up with a super special tattoo as well. I really liked him as well. The staff is super friendly, professional. And it's clean but cozy and comfortable in here. Definitely not that sterile smell but it feels like a place to hang out. They make sure you're as comfortable as possible while you're getting tattooed and I feel like they are definitely amazing in the quality of tattoo for what you pay here. Great work. Great place. All the happy feels from me. Don't ponder. Just book a session today!!
