| - Starting off a little negative...but I promise this review will get better! The first time I went to Phat Buddha was when my boyfriend got a tattoo done at their older location at Pacific Mall (kiosk on the side of the building). The owner helped my boyfriend design the stencil until he liked it and was ready to get it done. After that, he was passed on to another artist. When my boyfriend was getting his tattoo done, he kept saying it hurt (which I already figured it would and thought he just needed to stop complaining) but this was because the artist kept on going over the same area over and over again, but was going no where with the tattoo...It got to the point where there was lots of blood and the guy had to keep stopping to wipe off the blood. This tattoo in total took over an hour for simply 6 letters...Looking at the tat now, his tattoo does not look great at all...he basically wasted money for something he can't even get re-touched. He has to get it done all over again.
(This is where all the positive stories come in)
My boyfriend and I wanted to get a tattoo done in memory of special people in our lives. When we thought of coming to Phat Buddha, I was very hesitant because of his experience the last time we went there. But we still decided to go and inquire because of the positive reviews we've heard about Phat Buddha from other people. Going in for my first tattoo, I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect even though I had my boyfriend with me. We consulted with Justin and he helped us design our tattoos, he even offered to redo my boyfriend's old tattoo for him as well, but we decided we could do that another time since we wanted to focus on just the tattoos we wanted to get that day. Justin was outgoing and friendly...didn't make me nervous at all about my first tattoo. He even reassured me when he mentioned exactly what he was going to do (ie. the use of different needles).
My boyfriend got his tattoo first. My boyfriend didn't like the placing of the stencil the first time Justin put it, so he re-did it with no hesitation. The end product turned out really good! It took about 15-20 minutes for it to be done (HUGE difference than the other guy last time we went). When it came to my turn, I was comfortable and it took about 10 minutes to finish. I love the end product to it and was so excited to show all my friends how amazing it looked.
The place looked really clean to me. The only downfall is that it's really small since it's a kiosk. Since I was lying down on the chair, we kind of blocked the way from the back to the front so people had to wait until we were done.
Pricing was really good since we got to negotiate a cheaper price than what Justin originally mentioned. Paid $300 for both tattoos...mine was $100 and his was $200.
If we go back to get another tattoo done (which I'm pretty sure we will), I won't have any hesitation asking for Justin again. It made me have hope for this place after our first encounter at Phat Buddha with that guy (don't even know his name...).
