| - Okay, so just so everybody here knows I'm not crazy-pants, here's why I'm unhappy with Chris at Immortal Images.
7/19, I e-mailed him that I dug his portfolio and would be in Raleigh (3 hours away) 7/25-8/5 and wanted to get some work done - throw out some ideas, yadda yadda.
7/21, his first communication back with me - 1 question. "How big you want the tattoo?"
7/21, I respond back 1.5 hours later with "my only size limit is what you can do in one session"
Seven days later (7/28), I e-mail him to follow-up because I hadn't heard from him.
He says to stop by that night. ...I'm 3 hours away, that isn't possible. Can he see me Thursday?
7/31, he tells me he can do 3pm on the 2nd, and I get the first sketch of the tattoo and oh by the way, put a deposit down.
8/1, I respond (albeit, 8:30pm) with some alterations I'd like to see to the sketch. I don't make a deposit, because in my area, that's what you do to GET a sketch. He never mentioned I wouldn't get an appointment without putting a deposit down. No quote on cost of the tattoo or anything, mind you.
So I drive the 3 hours out to Charlotte, and he just basically ignores me. Says I didn't make a deposit, so he gave my appointment away.
I'm coming from DC, and you couldn't be a touch more accommodating to my unique situation?
I went to ACE Tattoos instead and got a custom piece that is my favorite of my 8 tattoos now, done by Tommy, and they did it on the fly. I got super lucky, ACE's lobby is loaded with trophies.
1 star because uhhh... I honestly don't know why.
