Point of View Tattoo School

Jada's a great artist. Her favorites are Pokemon and Anime. Not your thing? Try something else. She's versatile. I love her cow skulls.

My boyfriend and I went in about a month ago for two very small peices, in areas that we both knew we could cover up. I got a small plant on my wrist, he a bug on his elbow. I will not mention the name of the student who tattooed us because while I never recommend anyone get a tattoo from her, based on her unwillingness to communicate and what seemed like she little interest to learn I don't neccisarily think the experience was her fault. His tat was first, the space we were in was one large room with about 6 other artists tattooing. She looked around for space to work, and when she didn't imediently find a bed/table for him to lay on, rather than consulting a instructor, she chose a small stand. She positioned him sitting with his elbow at a weird angle, hand in his face, so she could tattoo the inside of his elbow. In hind sight we should have told her it was not a good idea, however I am used to being tattooed by artists who at the very least understand what angle they need to be in to tattoo properly. The stand had three legs, and for a large portion of the tattoo it was pushed back on 1 of them. She was balancing his arm on 1 leg as she tattooed him. Had this been happening and we were alone with the student I would be much more understanding, however there was an instructor, a short younger man with joggers walking around. She even asked his opinion on how she was doing during all of this. He mentioned something about line work and went to go watch student who seemed to actually know what they were doing. No mention of the angle, the table, or anything to do with the actual experience that was being had. At one point I remember watching her tattoo the insects leg, watching her go at least a half a centimeter away from her stencil and wondering at that angle if she could even see the stencil she was supposed to be following. She finished his extremely wonky tattoo said it was good and moved on to me. My tattoo was on the back side of my wrist, not the outside or the inside, the backside. So again, rather than looking for a bed for me to lay on, she went into positioning me on the stand. My arm was behind me at a right angle, as she started. At this point another instructor came into the room, saw me like that, and grabbed me a table to lay on. Explaining angles and positioning a small a bit to our artist. And finally I was laying on a table, the rest of my tattoo went fine. I can forgive our artist for all of that, I did not appreciate that when we were finished, she told us our price, didn't even ask if we knew how to care for our new work, (mind you we have tons of tattoos but still every single artist at least asks) then she didn't say goodbye, but left the room because at this point we were the only people left in that room and she seemed uncomfortable to actually be alone with us. Whether that was because she was uncomfortable being away from her class or uncomfortable knowing she ruined both tattoos I don't pretend to know. I was on the fence about tattoo schools prior to this, but we figured we liked her flash, she seemed nice, and the school seemed clean and had good reviews. They should at least be teaching their students about positioning before they give them a machine. Point of view gives tattoo schools a bad name. And that God awful "instructor" in the joggers gives instructors in general tattoo or not a bad name.

I've never been before I was just wondering what the rates are for tattoos?

The best tattoo artist is Sean Pipkin. I am very happy with my tattoo.
