| - I got my first tattoo here a few weeks ago. Everyone I talked to in the place were nice. If anyone spoke to an unfriendly person, maybe they're no longer working there.
A friend came with me when I got my tattoo, and she was a little disappointed with the customer service/professionalism. But it didn't bother me. I thought that it was fine. Besides, what are you expecting to get from a tattoo parlor? Their style will be different than customer service people who get paid based on commission.
Lunchbox did my tattoo. He was really nice about it, even though I kept coming in an altering the design. I felt bad about it and tipped extra for it, but he didn't seem to mind my indecisiveness...at least he didn't show it.
I talked to Tilt a couple of times. Once I asked him what it felt like to get a tattoo. One part of the conversation went something like this:
Tilt: "it's like sex. The first time you do it, it hurts. Then it gets a little better. Then once you're done, you want to do it again."
Me: "okay..."
Tilt: "do you like sex?"
Me: a moment of silence; some awkward response, then left store
Anyway, if you're looking for excellent customer service, professionalism, and "by the book" artists, then go elsewhere. But if you want creativity, casual, and in my opinion friendly workers, this is a great place.
I'm giving this place a 4 because when my friend looked through some of the tattoo books, there were things like Nazi symbols in there. If I saw this before I got my tattoo here, I may not have gotten it here out of principle. It's one thing to be willing to tattoo whatever a customer wants, but another thing to "showcase" it. But other than that, the rest of my review still holds.
