I went to get a rose tattoo today (August 15) I arrived at 4 and didn’t leave till 9 pm because I waited a hour and a half for someone to come do my tattoos because Moose told me she doesn’t do neck tattoos. The person arrives, I don’t know her name but she was a black young lady with locs and a missing front tooth with a Gemini symbol on her ankle. I showed her the picture of the rose I wanted and told her I wanted it black grey white and red.. instead of following what I asked she does what she wants and makes my stem on my rose green. NOT ONLY is it green but she did it very sloppy, harsh, and lop sided at the bottom of the stem of the rose. I get off the table when she’s done and told her that it was not what I asked for. And Moose was sitting with us when I told her and showed her exactly what I wanted. Not only did I get off the table with a botched tattoo but accused me of yelling at her and that I told her that’s how I wanted. Which was both a lie because MOOSE again was there when this all was taking place. So I had to sit for additional hours to have moose redo my rose and do my other tattoo “one of none” when she “doesn’t really do neck tattoos”. Which I had no problem with and I respected but I refused to leave with a botched tattoo on my neck. So I had to sit a go over a open wound again because you all have under qualified people working in your shop. When the girl could’ve just said, “I’m new at tattooing I don’t feel comfortable doing a neck tattoo you should go some where else”. All in all I’m very unsatisfied with both neck tattoos and will never return. The fact that the black girl acted so conceited and called herself an “artist” but gave me a botched tattoo is insane to me. And the fact someone who doesn’t even do neck tattoos had to redo my tattoo and do my other one is ridiculous. Then I told Moose I wanted my “one of none” tattoo in red ink and she does it in black!!! Just cheap, unprofessional work for high prices!!! THEY DONT LISTEN OR CARE THAT THIS IS A TATTOO AND ITS PERMANENT AND THAT ITS THE CUSTOMERS BODY AND MONEY!!! Don’t come here unless you research the artist and have them tell you how long they have been tattooing !!!! I’ve been to this tattoo shop before and my work was done nice so I assumed all of the artist in there was good. That was my fault, never again! Paid $285 for Trash permanent “ART”, run if you can from this shop. They are giving black owned...
Read moreIf I could leave negative stars, I would. A friend and I were visiting from Dallas, Texas and decided to get a Tragus Piercing. We called several shops; however, there were not many that took walk ins. We called Long Island Ink Lil 5 and was told we could come in the same day. My friend and I arrived at the shop around 3:10p and completed all necessary paperwork. By 3:20p, we were told to have a seat while the artist setup. There were no other customers in the shop and it appeared as though we were the first customers. About 25 minutes later, we were still waiting. We asked the artist how much longer it would be because we have a flight to catch. The artist (a lady) said she’s almost done; however, she did not appear to be in a hurry, despite us telling her we had a flight to catch. Five minutes later, we requested a refund as waiting any longer would cause us to miss our flights. With an attitude, the artist said she would have to charge $20 per person for a setup fee. Did I mention the piercing was already $80, where other shops were charging $50. We went ahead and paid but expressed our displeasure when she took her precious time setting up. Furthermore, there was no signage that says there’s a $20 setup fee if you decide to not get the piercing. Overall, I would NOT recommend this business. They are overpriced and have poor...
Read moreI had the absolute worst experience here than i have ever had in a shop in my entire life. Last weekend my brother and I went to get tattoos and we were taken in for consult immediately which was good, we were told to come back in an hour and that our sketches would be ready. we come back and mine is ready, meanwhile "Sketch" hasn't drawn a single thing for my brother, which he had to wait another hour for. By the time my tattoo was done, he was just getting sat in the chair. Not only was Sketch the absolute slowest tattoo artist I've ever witnessed, but he took two smoke breaks and stopped to eat food while drawing the stencil he should have drawn hours ago. Extremely unprofessional. My tattoo took roughly 45 minutes, and my brother's was larger and more detailed and took roughly four hours because this artist was slow, lazy, and unprofessional. we were never offered a discount for his tattoo or even an apology for the poor service. There was nobody in the shop when we came; we honestly should have been in and out in 3 hours and instead we were there for 8. We are both happy with the quality of our tattoos, but I have never had a more disappointing experience in a shop. Would...
