Jona (the owner) has tattooed 3 different pieces for me and I do really love them all. I am leaving a 2 star review because of communication, atmosphere & professionalism. Each appointment I had with him grew more frustrating. I reached out to him a couple of times to touch up one of my pieces that he previously tattooed. (1st touch ups are free I was told) I was even willing to pay his apprentice to touch it up but was told the original artist must be the one to do it.
After weeks of not hearing back from him, I finally was able to set up a time for the touch up with him. I showed up at my appointment time to find a closed tattoo shop completely dark inside. I messaged him on Facebook (only way to get ahold of him)explaining how I was there waiting for him and he replied that āhis wife had a family emergency and had to fly out of stateā So I needed to reschedule and he would contact me with an appointment time the next business day. He also stated that he messaged me explaining this. I received no messages or calls. When I told him this, he replied āI must have sent it to the wrong Lauren.ā I am upset that I drove 30 minutes to an appointment to find out he wasnāt even there. I understand things come up but this seemed a bit fishy to me considering it would have been a free service from him. I am also still waiting on him to contact me for a rescheduled dateā¦.
I was charge over double for my last tattoo I received from him. This piece was black & white, much smaller than the last tattoo he gave me, very simple and took him about 15 minutes to do and cost me $150.
When I showed up for this appointment, he spent the first 15 minutes mopping the floor as I sat waiting. He told me I was one of his 2 appointments for that day because his child was in a school musical so he was leaving early to attend. I feel as though I was over charged to makeup for the hours that he had closed for to attend his childās musical.
The last time I entered the shop, there was a tv playing dancing nude women & foul language music videos. As a women, I felt pretty uncomfortable being there by myself.
There is no doubt that Jona is a talented tattoo artist. He has his awards mounted on the walls from all of the competitions he has won to prove it. However, his communication & customer service needs some shaping up. Unfortunately, he has lost me...
