Review of Way Cool Tattoos Uptown

The first time I went into the shop- it was great!...

The first time I went into the shop- it was great! The staff were friendly and really focused on communicating and understanding what I wanted - they were welcoming and I was really impressed. The place is always clean and I like the set up of booths. However, since my first tattoo I've been to the shop two more times. The second time my first artist no longer worked there so I got paired with a different artist and he did a terrible job. (he ruined a letter in the middle of a word and by making that single letter much bigger than the rest- it looked sloppy) So I went back but they said it was impossible to correct the mistake. Because of that I took a break from tattoos until my most recent visit. This tattoo was a really tiny one yet it cost more than my other tattoo which is 5 times the size. I felt really ripped off especially since he didn't properly quote me before tattooing. I left with a sour taste in my mouth since they charged me double what they should've. The current staff are not very friendly, unprofessional, and were slacking off. The tattoo itself took 10 minutes, but I was there an hour and a half because no one had their act together. I was loyal to this tattoo shop but now after my past 2 visits, I think its time to look for a new place. In conclusion, it was a good shop 6 years ago when I started tattooing but now the staff are not devoted to service and they're really overcharging clients. Its a shame since it's so close by and I have many more tattoos planned- but it'll have to be done at a shop with better care for their clients.
