Art District Event Center — Attraction in Colorado Springs

I was gifted a $500 for an 8 hour tattoo gift certificate that Jerel was selling through Facebook, so it wasn’t even purchased by me. Elements of my tattoo that were discussed included 4 photos and some custom creative freedom that I wanted Jerel to have ( I had hear about and seen his free handed work and wanted some of that). Jerel was HIGHLY recommended to me by multiple people. The main points in the included photos are 1. He mishandled my appointment (was June 3rd) by planning an out-of-state trip for the same time. 2.

Jerel is running a “business” but quite literally just does what he wants to do, despite people genuinely wanting to support him. Not to mention my boyfriend has a half done tattoo from Jerel on his leg that’s been paid for and he has made no attempt to contact my boyfriend to finish it.

Do yourself a favor and find a reputable tattoo...

0 stars if I could DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING UP FRONT HE WILL STOP COMMUNICATING AND KEEP YOUR MONEY. It’s been 2 months of ghosting I’ll gladly delete this comment once refunded because he’s actually a talented artist and I would have went to him for a large scale back piece which would have gotten him thousands across multiple sessions but I guess the $315 was...
