I'm writing this not just about my own experience, but also about how this shop treated people I…read morepersonally know who were loyal, repeat clients. After a situation involving a review, the shop chose to ban multiple regular customers--people who had nothing to do with the issue and had consistently supported them. Watching that happen made it clear how quickly they're willing to turn on their own clients. It felt petty, retaliatory, and completely unprofessional. On top of that, my own experience with Alex only reinforced those concerns. After taking my deposit, communication was slow and inconsistent. She confirmed an appointment date, but when I showed up, she claimed it was for a different day. I had the message proving otherwise, and she didn't even bother to look. I waited around for an hour just to be turned away. Getting my refund was just as frustrating. I was told I'd receive it on Tuesday--nothing came. I followed up and got excuses about being busy, then no response for days. I only heard back after contacting the shop owner, and even then it was more of the same. Between how my friends were treated and my own experience, it's clear there's a serious lack of accountability and respect for customers. Taking people's money, wasting their time, and banning loyal clients over something they didn't do isn't acceptable. The shop itself might seem fine at first glance, but based on what I've seen and experienced, I would strongly think twice before trusting them with your time or money.

I wasn't going to add a review but after seeing multiple complaints about the same artist I have…read moredecided to put my two cents in. I had been seeing Alex for tattoos for about a year, she is a very talented artist however her attitude and professionalism are extremely disappointing. I have gotten 8 tattoos done by her, only once was my appointment at the original time we had scheduled for. I had given her lots of grace in the beginning as she always seemed to have a great excuse for needing to reschedule, until it became every time I scheduled an appointment, she would not answer for weeks leading up to the appointment and then ask to reschedule the day before or more likely, the day of. There were many instances when I came into the shop at my appointment time and wasn't started on for a while after, in one instance I actually went home(after waiting in the shop for almost 45 minutes) and told her to let me know when she would be ready-- which ended up being two hours later, and almost 3 hours after my scheduled appointment. She is very quick to take a deposit and then not follow up after, and I have been told she is a bit hostile towards potential clients that mutuals have reccomended, for not sending a deposit as soon as she would like it. I have also heard through mutuals that have gotten tattoos done by Alex, that they have also had very similar issues to the ones I am describing in this review, but are afraid to confront her about her unprofessionalism as she gets extremely upset and unnecessarily defensive about it--even though they are easily fixable on her part, and is being given great advice. The last time she rescheduled she offered to send my deposit back, I asked to reschedule at first to which I did not get a reply for two days, so I asked for my deposit back. She told me it would be 3-5 days until I saw my money back, 7 days passed and I messaged her asking about my deposit because I had not received the money back, she still did not respond. I let another week pass and sent her a firm message to which she had an extremely snarky reply and expected me to know what is going on in her life through instagram stories. I then sent her a slightly more agitated but still kind message about how disappointing my experience with her has been, which she replied she's never been told or heard before(those 1 star reviews say different lol) and started going in on me for unrelated things that have nothing to do with what I brought up. She is clearly not emotionally stable for a job of this caliber which really sucks since she is a talented artist, her response was extremely unprofessional and really gives the shop a bad look. I would also like to note that one of my tattoos was done on the wrong stencil placement because it was poorly wiped off, very luckily for her I liked it and was okay with how it turned out, she didn't charge me for the mistake, but that could've ended extremely different for her. Just as a note to any potential future clients she might have.

I got a tattoo from Bee yesterday and I couldn't be more happy with it. I also liked that the shop…read morewas in a convenient location off the highway and had parking. I had an idea of what I wanted that wasn't super solid and Bee drew up a bunch of sketches and got exactly what I wanted. Each of the dragonflies was a slightly different sketch, he didn't reuse any of them! The tattoo was quick and relatively painless and I could tell he had a lot of skill since he's been tattooing for over 20 years. He was very efficient and a cool dude. The atmosphere is really comfortable and I like the decorations. You feel like you're especially taken care of for the hour or two that you're there. The pricing is reasonable for amazing work. Some other people got tattoos before and after me and all of theirs looked amazing. I'm very happy with mine and I'm looking forward to coming back for my next tattoo. I've been to three shops so far and this one has my favorite artist and atmosphere since he jokes around with you and you feel comfortable.

I'm not sure why he asked, but I switched the design to one much better and I'm so thankful that he asked before he started. The second time, he used a ruler to make sure the left and right sides were even and symmetrical, and I must say - it came out PERFECT! Both sides are exactly the same and even.
