Artist At Large Tattoo — Local services in Wichita

Yea..I met with Dennis, he was very professional and gave me his card but when I asked about booking 2 small sized tatoos for the weekend, he said to call and speak to the lady for scheduling. I said okay sounds good! I was excited! I tried calling a couple times and didn't get an answer. So then I just decided to go down there since I was in the area.. she came to the door did not invite me in and said that she most likely wasn't going to have time for several weeks and all I was wanting was a couple of smaller tattoos.. She was a little rude and stand offish and so then I thought I would try calling and catch at a better time since when I came it was almost closing time. I called and she said that they might be able to do it Saturday but no guarantees because they're pretty booked and to send a message on messenger of what I was wanting done so I did and only response I got was that they no longer offer piercings there and then several hours later she responded saying it was gonna be in the 200-$300 range but if they had time they would let me know.. didn't ask for my phone number either. I called this afternoon spoke to her she said I spoke to somebody else when I'm pretty sure it was her... I could tell by her voice. She said that they probably won't have time and that she would give me a call if they did and she said do we have your phone number? I said I don't know do you? And she said let me look at the message then she said what's my number? I gave her my phone number and then she immediately hung up she didn't say good bye or anything! So rude! I'll just go somewhere else. Maybe it's because I'm attractive female when she seen my Facebook photo. Why else would she be kind to me on the phone but short and rude in person or on messenger? So weird! I'm really upset about it actually because I chose this place because I don't just want to go anywhere. One place I went to seemed dis-organized and another I choose not to go because of sanitary reasons..and this place seemed like my style..Dennis seemed genuine and experienced and that is exactly what I was wanting! Please reach out to me to make this right! I really want to give this place...

I was a walk-in. My first impression was great. I was greeted by a very nice lady who wrote down/saw the approximate size of what I wanted. I mentioned making small changes to the pictures I showed her and she assured me I would get to discuss it with the tattoo artist prior to receiving them. Everyone seemed cool and friendly from what I could see. I've been to two other wonderful tattoo studios in Wichita and felt the same great vibe there as well. But then I met my tattoo artist, Gomez. He was a complete jerk to me from the very beginning. I brought in a copied Pinterest photo and asked him to customize it. It was a silhouette of a woman and I asked him to add a line for hair. Simple right? He kept repeating "you gotta tell me what you want." I was trying. "Well that's not what you brought in" referring to the copied picture. I told him to forget it, just do the copied picture. He either didn't want to be there or he didn't want to tattoo me. I caught that vibe from the get go. I even asked him before we started, "if you don't want to do it, I can go somewhere else." I should've left and trusted my gut feeling because It was an awful experience. Even when I was lying on the table, I mentioned it stinging and kinda laughed while holding very still, just trying to lighten the mood and he said very bluntly "it's a tattoo. They hurt." I had planned on two tattoos walking in. We finished one then the attitude came on full force again when I asked him what colors he thought would look good on the next tattoo. I said "you're the artist, I am not. I trust you to choose what colors would look good on my skin tone. I was completely open to any color. He said "You gotta tell me what you want." After hearing that for like the 4th time I chose to leave. It's really unfortunate. My other tattoos were such great experiences as...

Had an appt with Chris months out and he had forgotten everything we emailed about. Told me the day of appt as I’m sitting down for the tattoo that certain things I wanted in the tattoo wouldnt work, so I was the one creating ideas on the spot.. not him who is the “artist” Was disrespectful as this was a tattoo for my cat that had just passed away in a traumatic way.

He ended up causing a scar on my tattoo, on my cat. Which made me sad to even look at the messed up tattoo for so long.

Good luck rescheduling touch ups, they completely blew me off and kept giving me different numbers and emails to contact to set it up. They did this on purpose. Should not have to talk to 4 diff people for a touch up… After a week I got an appt but at that point did not even want to support this place or the artist.

Don't recommend this place. People who worked there also made fun of potential clients after they left if they didn’t like the tattoo they wanted. I watched this happened multiple times while waiting inside for my appointment. Very unprofessional. Some “silly” tattoo idea could have deep meaning to...
