Do not go to this shop if you want quality work and a clean shop. The employees are druggies...proven! Go to YELP and read some of the reviews - shop smells of pot, shop is filthy, employees are high, etc. A friend of mine paid big money for a tattoo that was supposed to be beautiful - the artist's work was always superb - until she turned into a druggie. Her work has suffered and it showed. She took pictures of the finished tattoo and posted on Instagram - her boss (owner of the shop - artists are independents) made her remove it as it is so bad - so that says it all I think.
My friend asked this artist - before she turned into an addict - to draw another tat for her and she asked for $200 up front for deposit - not unusual for a custom tat to be done - however -- she never did the drawing and now she is not trusted by my friend to do tattoo nor fix first one she messed up so bad. My friend asked for her money back and all she got was rude text messages calling her filthy names, and general harassment. She has all of the texts printed out along with the comments from the Social Media Page so yes she has proof of the harrassment and name calling, etc.
So my friend went to the owner of the shop - Clean Rock - his response was not what would be expected for a supposedly respectable business. All he asked was ""what do you want me to do?"" Iin other words - I'm not and can't do anything - when in reality, Clean Rock, yes you can!!! Do what is professionally, legally and morally right - refund her money and take a percentage of your artist's earnings until SHE pays you back. He apparently cares nothing for his customers - very poor business practices. As far as the cleanliness - one post on YELP stated that the shop was dirty so I have to question -- are instruments and equipment being sterilized properly if at all?
Are tables and chairs etc. being sanitized? Is ink fresh and clean? The owner's response to this was -- his ""cleaning person"" was off that day so the shop wasn't cleaned - do the artists and owner not know how to clean? I for one would not go to a shop where there is filth and it's a mess, have to question on sterlization of equipment and cleanliness of ink. I've been in many, many tattoo shops and have never encountered evident drug use, filth, messiness, questionable sanitation procedures, etc.
