Review of Masterpiece Tattoo & Body

I went to masterpiece to try & get a custom tattoo...

I went to masterpiece to try & get a custom tattoo. I saw Dan who appeared to be the proprietor.
I showed him a picture I found on the internernet that was as close as I could find to what I wanted, to give him something to go on. I tried explaining further what I was looking for and he said, "have you gone on our website and seen my worK?" I said yes. He replied "don't worry about it, it'll look real" BTW $175.00 deposit was paid. I should've known and gone with my gut. Don't take my word for it, look at his portfolio. Some of the work is good but do you see anything that sets him apart from anyone else? With his inflated ego apparently he does! after I told him I didn't like the sketches we went back & forth a little and I said I'm concerned by looking at this very crude outline that this is going to be what I wanted. He said "it's just an outline that I work off of, not the final tattoo" I said I understand that but I'm not an artist and I can't envision this being anything like I was trying to convey to you by the looks of the sketch. He went on again about it being a rough outline and it wasn't the final product, I said well if you put that on my arm I want it to look realistic. He said, well I don't know if I want to do it now because you wan't be happy with anything I give you. So I said where does that leave us with the deposit. He told me it was for the time he put into it. at that point I was pissed and said $175.00 for that?!? it looks like a kid drew it!!! end of conversation.... I may take him to small claims just so he knows he can't do this type of crap to people! If I could give less than one star I would!
