The Black Lantern — Attraction in Dana Point

Absolutely DO NOT come here you’ll risk being one of the few to get Scammed. I’m out $200 bc Dan dibiase took my deposit then blocked me on everything after I had to cancel well in advance due to health issues. He refused acknowledge/answer many emails. PROOF IS ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE. My health issues start acting up again and i had an appt with DAN DIBIASE. I let him know 26 hours in advance to cancel and then he came up with a lie saying that I wasn’t 24 hours in advance the proof is on Facebook that it was over 24 hours. Now I’m out $200 bc he refuses cooperate. Absolute worst experience ever now I’m tighter on money with all my medical bills and this disrespectful person ignoring me for months on end. My stress levels are through the roof. just ripped me off it’s So inhumane and u professional. I’ve never dealt with anyone so rude. THEN I got reprimanded from the shop owner and Dan after posting my honest experience… make that make sense I’m still out all that money and have yet to hear back:| Be kind, that’s all it takes you don’t know what people go through. I’d go to the shop in person to ask for my money back but I live so far and I’d rather not be yelled at by all these entitled guys and go into another panic attack. All I want is my money back to stop stressing about this. The professional thing to do is return the money not block and ignore someone like you’re in...

This was an exceptional tattoo experience. I had not had a new tattoo for 16 years! I found The Black Lantern on google and based on the reviews and pictures I inquired. They set me up with Brittney who was awesome to work with and schedule. The shop was top notch. It was clean and had a great laid back atmosphere. Very high end in my opinion. My tattoos that I had done were on my ring finger and my forearm. They were very specific as they were in Farsi Calligraphy and they needed to be just right. Brittney was amazing. Her line work was exceptional. She was very informative and laid back. The end result is more than what I was hoping for and beyond my expectations! They are healing great and I now have a permanent tribute to my family which was my goal. Thank you Brittney and The Black Lantern. Im already planning to add to my forearm tattoo and my wife is even considering getting her first tattoo ever from you! Definitely give this tattoo establishment a look. You will not be disappointed. The prices were very fair and you definitely get what you pay for. The best tattoo experience that I have had and I have 3 other tattoos...

My wife got a little 6" by 6" geometric tattoo from Jon. The tattoo looks fine but it took him 8 hours and he charged $1200. That's absurd. Not knowing any better, she initially put a deposit down for her next session for months in the future. When everyone told her she was scammed at that price, she tried to cancel the appointment the very next day and he refused to refund her deposit. I would avoid Jon at all costs. Cant speak to anyone else at the shop. I even talked to 3 artists that I use regularly to make sure we weren't being unreasonable and all three said that tattoo should have been 4 hours at the very most.

Edit: I appreciate the response but I want to clarify a couple things. She agreed to the price per hour but he anticipated it taking half the time it actually took and still charged her for the whole time. Also, she did not tip 20%. She tipped 30$ and thought the rest was for the deposit for the next session. Since I posted a picture and the price (that price did not include tip/deposit which was another $180) people can decide for themselves if that...
