WARNING! DO NOT BUY HENNA TATTOOS HERE!!!! WARNING!

I recently bought a small henna tattoo here. It cost $12.99 but you got a 20% off coupon-which I thought was a great price WRONG! I thought this Henna was like all of the others I had gotten before but boy was I wrong! I had gotten the kind you wait 2 hours and rinse off to reveal the stain, the one I recieved at this place is not true Henna! I asked the girl whenever she gave the tattoo to me if I waited 2 hours and then rinse it off, to my memory I don't think that she said anything but I could be wrong. All that she said I think is that I just had to let the tattoo dry for 1 hour. We were going in Dollywood that day so I decided that I would just leave it on as long as I could before I rinsed it off. When we got home that night I begin to rinse the tattoo off only to find that it would not rinse! I even tried rubbing it a little to see if the tattoo would start rinsing off. The tattoo didn't rinse and so I left it on for the night wondering if Maybe you weren't supposed to rinse it off. But you see the lady never told me what to do for my tattoo all she told me to do was to wait for one hour to let it completely dry before I got it wet. I got this on 7 / 16 / 17 the very next day which was Monday The henna started coming off. It is now Thursday 7/ 20 / 17 and the tattoo is almost completely gone. Hasn't even been a week and yet they're supposed to last for up to two! I ended up calling the number and talking to one of the girls who works there and she told me that if I was to come back within the next week or so they could probably do something about it but if I was to wait a couple of months that there was nothing she could do. I live in North Carolina and it's about it two to three-hour Drive to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, I can't just drive over there everyday and when I got this we were on vacation over there for the weekend. But mark my words this not true henna Ishould have known whenever she started getting it out of a nail polish that something was up. But I will not be getting any more henna tattoos from this location! And I encourage you to seek other henna tattoo places for a better option as this one isn't true henna and didn't have a huge huge selection of designs! In other words don't stop here for henna tattoos as they don't last but a couple of days and if you're only there for the weekend or a week and won't be back for quite some time they...

Hold onto your hats, folks, because I'm about to dive snout-first into a review of the most jaw-snappingly good souvenir store in Gatlinburg, Tennessee – the Live Alligators Souvenir Store!

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Live alligators? In a souvenir store?" But let me tell you, this place is as real as the dad bod I've been perfecting over the years. It's a swampy slice of paradise where you can get up close and personal with some gators without losing a limb. And the souvenirs? They're as unique as my dance moves at a family wedding.

Walking into the store is like stepping into an adventure. There are gator-themed goodies as far as the eye can see. We're talking stuffed animals that are softer than my favorite recliner, t-shirts that are cooler than the other side of the pillow, and even gator jerky that's more surprising than finding out your kid cleaned their room without being asked.

The staff? Friendlier than a neighbor with a boat. They're as knowledgeable about their scaly friends as I am about the intricacies of a lawn mower. They'll guide you through the store, share fascinating gator facts, and they might even let you snap a selfie with a baby gator – talk about a profile pic upgrade!

But the real showstopper is the live gator exhibit. It's an experience that's more thrilling than a double overtime game. You can watch these majestic creatures glide through the water with the grace of a minivan navigating a drive-thru. It's educational, it's exciting, and it's safe – which means I can keep my title as 'World's Okayest Dad' without any wild stories.

The Live Alligators Souvenir Store is a must-visit spot in Gatlinburg. It's the perfect place to snag a souvenir that's as memorable as my dad jokes. So, grab your fanny packs and head on down. You'll leave with a smile wider than a gator's, and that's saying something. Y'all come back...

Horrible experience! Do not shopped here!!! Worst customer service EVER!!!! Purchased a tshirt and pair of swim shorts. The shorts were marked down and had an orange clearance sticker of $7.99, regular price was $16.99. Once at the register, shortly after my boyfriend paid for the items he realizes the shorts did not ring up sale price. We brought it to the lady's attention who claimed she was the "manager" and stated that the shorts were not on sale and that they were regular price. We asked about the clearance sticker that was on the tag of the shorts and she rudely tries to dismiss us by saying "I don't know about that, I never put that sticker on there!" Not wanting to pay $17 for a basic solid swim trunk that my boyfriend will only use once while out here on vacation, I kindly explained to the "manager" that most stores would honor the price as advertised. She continued to state that she did not put the sticker on there and said the kids shorts are marked down to $7.99 and the sticker must have been put there in error. She kept trying to dismiss the fact that they were the ones at fault here, not the customer. I became agitated and continued explaining to her that it doesn't matter if she does not know which one of her employees wrongly put the sticker on there, if they were not going to honor THEIR mistake, that we wanted our money back. She unhappily gave us our money back and while we were walking away from the counter she calls us stupid in Spanish to her other employee. I turned around and said DO NOT CALL US STUPID, WE ARE NOT THE STUPID ONES HERE! Stunned, she replies back and says she was not talking about us and I said "yea okay, I understand Spanish and heard what u said". Never will I shop at this store again!! RUDE...
