I had the pleasure of meeting Eva-Linae for a piercing this afternoon. She was amazing!!! I would highly recommend seeking her out if you are looking to get a piercing. She has a great bed side manner and is highly knowledgeable and professional. Hands down best piercing experience I have ever had!

I started a tattoo with Cody James. I have paid for about 12-15 hours of "work." When Cody and I met for the consult about the work I wanted, he stated that he would need a $100 deposit on getting the stencil drawn up. I messaged him all images that I was interested in. During the time between our consult and my first appointment, I had asked him how everything was going. He told me and still have messages to prove it, that the drawing was coming along really good and he had it in pieces. The same night I went to the shop for my appointment, he had someone in there before me and was close to 3 hours late of my original appointment time. There was no call or notification made to let me know that he was running late and I could have had 3 hours of my night doing something different than waiting. After he was finished he called me and asked if I could get him a big Red Bull. Me being the nice guy I gladly went to the store and bought him one. Once he was ready for me, I came in and he said he just decided to draw it on my arm. No stencils were ever made up and I was charged for the time of the drawing during the first tattoo. The $100 deposit never being refunded or put towards an appointment. Like I said 12-15 hours of "work" and I spent about 24-27 hours in the shop. The last time I was in he spent around 2.4 hours on the machine but charged me for 4. There was very little prep because it was all just filling in and shading. I was in the shop for just under 9 hours. He charges $150 per hour. Do the math. That's $250 that I was charged for and still don't have an answer as to why. He said his machine could have unplugged at some point and took a mental note at the time he had on it. I got the least amount of work done the last time I went in, yet was charged the 4 hours as I was before for more work. I have spoke to 3 other tattoo artists about this. No one understands it. 2 of the artists have said the work I have now could have been done in about 4-7 hours and done much better with more detail. I spoke with Cody about my issues and wanted to get a clear explanation as to what exactly my charges were for. I got the run around. He asked how we could make it better. I told him that I thought I was fair to refund me $100 deposit I first put down and I walk away. He said if I was going to continue the tattoo with him we could figure something out to make it better, but if not he wasn't going to do anything to make things right. If he would have said that he was going to return the $100 deposit and put $250 towards my next appointment, I may have considered finishing the work with him. He is money hungry and does not care about the customer unless they are handing him hundred dollar bills. First appointment was in the shop for 10-11 hours and charged for 5. Second appointment was there for about 7 and charged for 4. That appointment would have only been for filling in the 3 fir trees. My last appointment I was there about 8-9 hours and was charged for 4. Not very great with time management or customer service.

Questions & Answers

My Son is one month shy of his 18th bday... Can he get his first tattoo now with me present?

You must be 18, but like all things beer-and-cigarette throwing it all under the Google Bus ain't a yes. Still, T.T. themselves claim by-the-book operation. And, they're the best.
