Ink Therapy — Local services in Butte

Terrible experience, if you’re looking for poor work go here, if you’re looking for quality go out of Butte completely. Whatever I laid on was not wiped up and looked like it had grease prints all over it. I’m not too crazy but I was that day, so the “experienced” little dude with glasses had no depth perception or concept of contrast. After seeing the cover up he did on my girlfriend. Plus the creepy vibe he gave off after starting the tattoo said everything. The little chick apprentice was so worried about being paid rather than crafting her skill really showed me what she was more about. Customer service was poor and we know in the industry customer is put at the top because that’s what brings the income in. The line work done from both the tracers downstairs of the establishment look like there may have been an earthquake while the job was being done. My girlfriend and I aren’t satisfied not even a little. But thank the lord I can have them fixed by an artist with true craftsmanship. To spend a thousand dollars and feel ripped off comes with the game of shopping. Just be aware of the amount of money you may spend and the low quality you will receive. Half a tattoo that cost four hundred dollars and the female apprentice couldn’t give me a courtesy call to let me know when I could come in after stopping by when I was told to and checking in with them, then being told to write my number down on a sketch pad knowing I filled out a paper that had my information on it. Then calling again and again. She said she was busy. Professionalism, common courtesy, and common sense is hard to come by these days. True Artist are one of many. Haven’t found any in tattoo form in this town yet. But...

If this could be 0 stars it would be. I never give online reviews but feel this one was warranted. I had an apt. Saturday 1-22 at 2pm to get a memorial tattoo done by Barston. Was told to arrive at 1pm which I did. I had messaged my design to them the week before with details of what I wanted had also talked to Barston the Saturday before as well. No artwork was ready for the 2pm appointment. The 1st piece of artwork that came out I was shocked 😳. Honestly I felt as if a grade school or Jr High student drew it 😳. The wording in the tattoo wasn't even right!!! I ended up sending the pictures AGAIN! I figured I'd give them another chance to do the artwork. The younger apprentice up front came out several times asking the same questions about the design about color and design how things were supposed to be. This place seems to be very scatter brained, when I was here it sounded as if the was a party going on in the back, this place seems to be more interested in "SMOKING" and entertaining rather than catering to people actually wanting a good tattoo experience. After 3 1/2 hrs of sitting and watching this circus unfold in front of my eyes growing more and more uneasy I finally got up and told the apprentice that we were leaving, " I was not comfortable with the situation and I was done with everything going on. " we then left. I now have a shaved arm. No memorial tattoo, and a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I would not recommend this place to anyone that wants a decent tattoo experience. NOT...

We set an appointment and waited about 2.5 hours before even starting our tattoos. Once we got started they didn’t have an alternative for petroleum jelly for me as I have an allergy to the petroleum, so it was no tattoo or bare needle tattoo. I think it’s a new place in town and they’re working out all the kinks still, so I’m trying to show a little grace. I like that they offered drinks and had snacks, but it was a hit messy, so mixed feelings about that. The tattoo turned out alright despite the little hiccup. Again, new tattoo artist so all the grace! I’m glad we were able to work it out and that the mistakes were used as a learning tool to help the artist(s). I think they’re going to be great once they’ve got into a groove and have things...
