| - Only getting one because I cant do a -1. Keep in mind bad reviews usually get removed by the owner, yelp allows this. So who knows if this will stay up. They have blocked me on their FB page for telling about my experience with them.
I have had the absolute worst experience with this shop that I've ever had! First let me say that this shop was recommended by a fb group I'm in. The first time I went in, I fell in love with the atmosphere, I just went in to look at some portfolios and get pricing. I was determined to get work done here. When I went in the next time I spoke with Tyler, I explained what I wanted. Tyler said it can't be done, so he talked me into removing part of what I wanted. I was quoted $200 - $300 for my outside firearm. I explained to Tyler that I was having surgery in the next week and was told I'd be ok by my appt date. Tyler said not to worry that I could push it out if I needed to and rescheduling was not an issue. I had to reschedule, then emailed Tyler to see if I could add something to it. Back and fourth 10 emails long, finally I just drive the 15miles down there. Tyler pawns me off on Brian saying he had more experience with the level of intricacy I'm looking for. Explain briefly what I want to Brian. Brian, like a peacock strutting, says there is no issue. He's got it and doesn't need the reference pics I offer to email him. Day of tattoo Brian has nothing sketched, as I was told this is the reason for your deposit to get the ball rolling, and had lost the outline of the area I'm filling in. Mind you I came in the Friday before my appt to speak to him and he had gone home early. Even though i called first and told Tyler I'd be coming down. I wait an hour and Brian comes out with only a piece of what I asked for. I explain this isn't what I'm looking for. Maybe he'd known that had he spoken to me before he went back to draw. Maybe Tyler could have filled him in? Nah they are too busy gossiping like two old ladies in a knitting circle. I sat and waited another hour, two entire hours. Hey how bout you come out and say this isn't happening today, maybe after 20 min? Yet another sketch having nothing to do with what I asked for. I leave, call the owner, Byron, who says to come in and talk. Oh yay! Another 15 mile trip, one way. Byron says he can do it, in two months, for $500 dollars. Tyler had originally told me it's a spot where I can't do too much intricacy. Now Byron is telling me it's so intricate that it costs $500! A month from my appt I've decided I'm not letting anyone there touch my skin. Not only was I completely ignored by ALL staff (except Brian) while I waited two HOURS, the owner was their ignoring me too. I had to listen to Byron and his receptionist gossiping like little old ladies, over the blaring metal music that was playing. Yup gossiping about this customer and that. Good Lord, what are they going to say about me? A month before my appt i email that I believe I'm being taken advantage of. The design and location hasn't changed although the price has. Plus I was reassured several times by two artists who did not have the ability to produce what I was asking for. I was then told when I asked Byron if he could sketch something up before I came in to make sure that my idea was transferred correctly and that there would be no problem slapping a stencil on and getting my tattoo done on the actual date, that he books too many appts to be able to do that. Then WTF is my deposit for??? So I asked to cancel and have my deposit returned to me. The response I got was they did enough work, that I changed my tattoo many times and rescheduled several times. I rescheduled due to complications with surgery. Also remember Tyler told me there would be no issue. Also gave them 3-5 weeks notice each time I rescheduled. Now Black Lotus Tattoo has my $60 deposit, refuses to Supply me with the deposit agreement I supposedly signed and I have no tattoo. I've wasted at least two tanks of gas going back and forth there not to mention the two hours Sitting Waiting for nothing to be drawn properly. I would not recommend this shop to anyone especially if you're a BBW as I feel I was discriminated against. If you look at all the 5 star ratings below, they are from a young thin 20-somethings or pretty blonde 30-somethings or men. Or first timers.
