| - Yes, the Artists there are pretty effing amazing. Yes, the shop is clean and the receptionist is nice. The only thing throughout my experience getting tattooed here was the Customer Service. When I walk into any business, its the first thing I recognize. One Artist in particular had a disrespectful way of expressing his own opinion about my specific tattoo I was getting done (I lost a close friend and it was my first tattoo) because HE didnt like it. He was very arrogant. I know, for a fact, even my own artist wasnt crazy about it, but he had enough class and respect to atleast wait until I left the shop to open his mouth about it. One thing this small business needs to understand, if they want to survive, is Customer Service. Strong Customer Service exudes all other qulaities a business needs to thrive. The girls there were great. Offering drinks, chatting with everyone and laughing. Your customers do not pay you for your candid opinions (in this particular scenerio). Especially if they do not ask for it. Now, by no means am I saying tattoo anything arbitraily. But if a customer walks in, knows what they want, where they want it and are willing to pay you, do it and keep your own opinions to yourself. If your not even tattooing that person, dont even look at it! I lost someone very close to me, very tragically. And to be so insensitive about what that tattoo means to me, and arroganlty proclaim how much you hate it, speaks volumes about your character. I had a hard time keeping myself in check. But I did. The tattoo itself meant more to me then losing my cool. If it really bothers an aritist, maybe they need to adopt the "No Duplicates" tattoo policy for themselves and keep their mouth shut. Seriously love the work and the atmosphere there. Aside from that, I really believe this shop has potential. I hope this does get read by the owner, and taken with a grain of salt obviously. By no means does this impact my feelings towards recommending this place, but it almost did. I hope this was constructive enough to help taper off the bad aspect of this shop.
