| - My first visit to 5FS was to accompany a friend to get her first tattoo, I wasn't really planning on getting any myself. But, Daniel Sanchez was available and he said he would tattoo me. I told him what I wanted to get and WHERE I wanted to get it. He immediately agreed to do it and started setting up. He did make mention that finger tattoos were difficult to do, had a tendency to need touch ups and that's why he was charging me $160. This price included touch ups when I needed them. The process went off without a hitch, surprisingly comfortable for finger tattoos.
Two weeks goes by and it becomes apparent to me that I am going to need a touch up because the tattos Daniel did began to fade. So, I contact Daniel via Instagram messenger. He gets back to me and says he's ready to touch up anytime. I tell him I only have Saturdays available. He says when I'm ready, schedule as soon as possible because Saturday's book fast. I wait a week to make sure I have the following Saturday available and message to ask if I can get in that following Saturday. Daniel then says to me, he needs more notice and books those days a month out. This would've been good to know when I first contacted him with my needs and availability. So, I then rearrange my availability again and a week later I send him a photo of what the tattoos look like and he says, "I'll get you in as soon as possible" but, I never heard back from him the rest of the day and part of the next until I messaged him requested a specific day, 4 weeks out. He finally agrees to it.
My second visit, I was greeted at the desk by the "receptionist" and she notified Daniel that I was there. When he first approached me, I immediately got an attitude of him being inconvenienced for a silly touch up. He hardly spoke to me the entire time, like a spoiled teenager when you tell them to do a chore they hate. Towards the end, he decides to tell me that he doesn't usually do finger tattoos for reasons of them needing frequent touch ups, he usually turns people down that want them on that part of the hand. If he had mentioned this to me, I would've been open to other location suggestions, I'm pretty easy going.
LET ME MENTION, I realize that this area of the hand is prone to fading and that's fine, if I didn't expect that, I wouldn't have asked for that area. But, I think the fading was a little extreme in this case. Then, he tells me that my next touch up will cost $60.
Yesterday's touch up seemed to be better than the first tattoo and hopefully it won't fade to something that looks like a prison tattoo or something like an amateur did with a homemade gun that's going to fade in 2 more weeks. But, I won't be going back to that studio, regardless. The last thing I want to mention is the lack of interaction from the staff. It was almost like I was a bad representation of their studio. As I was sitting down in the chair, a group of artists came in from the back of the building and the strong odor of marijuana hit my nose like a linebacker... I'm sure they had their medical marijuana cards handy!
Good things about the studio: clean and comfortable.
