Let me preface this by saying I'm a shy person and tattoo shops intimidate me greatly, this being said, my experience with BST almost left me in tears. I had heard good things about them and did my research and decided to go with one of their artists that specializes in text. I have a rough idea of what I want, but I am the least creative person ever and I need an artist's touch to be able to make my ideas come to life. I called ahead to make sure the artist I wanted was available and was assured that they were. When I got there, they were already busy with someone else (walk-ins happen, I know). I had to do my 'consultation' while they were tattooing someone else with 3 other people in the room. By this time I'm completely rattled and I'm sure I came off like a total idiot, but I felt like I was judged and completely dismissed. I was told to just email the quote I wanted in the text I wanted and that was the end of the story. I could've gone to any artist and done that! I have an existing tattoo and really wanted an artist to sit down with me and figure out an elegant way to work this quote into what I already have and give me input and help visualize the thing that will be on my body FOREVER.
I understand that time is money and they can't sit down and chat with you for an hour about a 'silly quote' you want on your body forever, but at least try to act like you're not just trying to take my money. Extremely disappointed in BST and now I have no idea where to go from here.
