I chose the Phoenix Tattoo Company because of all the great reviews and left disappointed.
Yay or Nay:
Marko was a really nice guy, the environment was fairly clean, and I was so impressed when I saw his shading work on my friends flower piece who had gone before me that I had no doubt he would be able to handle three lines around my wrist. Unfortunately I ended up leaving very unsatisfied in the job done.
Price:
What added insult to injury was that he let my friend haggle a lower price ($130 for a softball-sized, black and grey shaded flower-over an hour). I realize people need to make a living but I was hoping he'd realize his mistake by charging $100 (three thin lines around my wrist - 10min)
Really??? Now I have to go pay the same amount if not more with a different artist to get it fixed elsewhere.
**I uploaded a photo (assuming it's not removed by the business) of the line-work on my wrist. The photo was taken two days later. He did not do the heart, only the three lines around it.**
Overall: I've had bad tattoos before and getting tattooed is not new to me. Marko was definitely a down to earth guy and maybe what would have made it better is if he just admitted he messed up, came down a lot in price or offered to fix it somehow. But what really makes me upset is that this is on my wrist for all to see. It's embarrassing.
I wanted to love this place but I don't want someone else to leave the way I did.
Sorry but I won't be back and I don't recommend Phoenix Tattoo Company.
