Worth the read if you are considering going there.\n\nI got this tattoo done about a year go by JOHNY SICKOE. \n\nThe reason I am writing now is because I am still unhappy with it even though I had to have it redone but it could never be what it should have been originally. This was the second tattoo I had ever gotten at the age of 39 and I didn't know much. \n\nI researched and looked at all JOHNY SICKOE's photos from Executive Tattoo Lounge's website. The work looked beautiful and he should have been more than capable in giving me the tattoo I wanted. He charged me $500 but said he was only going give me a discount and charge me $400 instead. I was willing to pay $700. \n\nHe traced my arm but didn't even follow his own tracing (I have photos for that too)... I told him I wanted the tattoo to look real, like as in 3D just like the photos I sent him. He said he understood and that it was no problem. He said he couldn't give me the trunk of the tree in the tattoo because my arm was too small which I learned was so not true. I had a whole arm free. I expected him to have something drawn out since it took him 1 hour to draw who knows what cause I never saw anything... I got there at 3:45pm and he started on me at 5:00pm and ended at 11:30pm rushing to leave with his girlfriend... I was there alone with no friends ... about an hour into the tattoo he started playing hardcore gangster rap which was very disturbing to listen to while I was getting tattooed hearing about how chicks were hoes, ya, just lovely. Then about 3/4 through my tattoo he came back from his break smelling like pot asking me if I wanted to smoke some pot with him. Really professional and Executive quality, NOT! ..... I didn't know what to do or what to say, of course I said no thanks. I had no car there because I was dropped off and my family went to the strip and I didn't want to piss him off. \n\nAfter all of this I contacted the owner and told him what had happened which was not easy to do and he said he would take care of the situation and pay one of his other tatters of my choosing to fix it. That seemed great to me because I was in tears for days and embarrassed to leave the house uncovered which I had to because it couldn't rub up against my clothing. Oh! That's another thing. He told me to not put anything on the tattoo until it started to scab up , which I did and it faded quickly as you can see in the photo now ... What did I do to this guy to deserve him messing up my skin so bad?\n\nNeedless to say, the owner wasn't willing to pay what it would have taken for the next tatter to really put many hours into the tattoo (I couldn't afford to spend anymore thinking the owner was going to take care of it, so I didn't save up) and I am searching now for someone to either cover the whole thing completely so I can have it redone on my other arm (what I would really like to do), laser it, or find someone really good to bring it to life more ... Can I sue JOHNY SICKOE for this and/or make the owner pay for the laser treatment? I am being told it can't be covered up, only laser removal. I don't want the money but I want it lasered off because everytime I see a cherry tree tattooed on someone I get so upset and see how beautiful mine should have been.\n\nBottom-line: JOHNY SICKOE doesn't take any pride in his work or he would have when he tattooed me who was a clean slate and knowing this tattoo meant a lot to me... Also, the owner Boe of Executive Tattoo Lounge and many more other places in Las Vegas that he owns as well doesn't seem to care what is going on at his tattoo lounges. I couldn't get ahold of him afterwards and he completely avoided my calls. \n\nAlways make them draw it out because I don't believe that JOHNY SICKOE was using his own work in his book. Look at the tattoo. He made stems instead of branched, the blossoms are all deformed and there is ABSOLUTELY NO SHADING!!! \n\nI am disgusted completely with JOHNY SICKOE and the owner of Executive Tattoo Lounge. \n\nI have all the emails to prove the communication with JOHNY SICKOE. \n\nAfter I called him, by the owner's request, he told me that if I wanted him to make it 3D that I would have to pay him more! WTF! He never gave me what I asked for, and I don't think he had the talent because this was really bad... The guy who fixed it did what he could and I am grateful for that but now it is time to make it what I want."^^ . "1"^^ . . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
