Liquid Fetish North

Horrible experience! Scheduled 2 different appointment twice and just got ignored after that. No returned calls. Even went back to the shop twice to confirm my second appointment with a female assistant. She had confirmed with me everything was GOOD. I wanted to make sure that I was set for that day. I knew something would go wrong because no call backs from Karen at all! When I went to my appointment supposedly my appointments got mixed up, and I supposedly canceled not true! Not ever going back!

I walked in this afternoon without an appointment and Shawnessy was able to fit me into the schedule for a small foot tattoo. He was great! Very nice, quick, and professional and he did a fantastic job. It was my first tattoo and my friend and I are already planning a return trip. Thank you!

So before I moved out of state I really wanted to get tattooed (touch up on old tattoo and adding on), I called Liquid Fetish North and "Shawnessy" answered and when I inquired about getting tattooed he said I would need to come in to make a reservation. I was there 15 minutes later, he said great I made a deposit (which was double what he asked for) and my appointment was set for about a week later @ noon.
Long story short, I get the to shop @ noon and there are two "secretaries" who have no idea of my appointment, and are then very dimwitted on what to do about there not being an artist for the appointment I reserved. I didn't start getting upset until they said that my deposit was unrefundable. I get that's the script for them but nahhhhh lol. I believe in fate, and truly think that had I gone through with this artist I would have been very upset with the quality of work.
basically don't waste your time here there are much much much better artists in Fresno that will give you the time you deserve that you paid for. (in all honesty I was in a rush and had I actually looked at the reviews for this place and looked at some of the "work" from this place, I would not have gone through with booking the appointment... like I said I believe in fate and I truly think that you should do as much research as possible which I did none. You can clearly see from the pictures on these reviews that the work is poor which is my opinion.)

I have got three different tattoos at Liquid Fetish North with the artist Gabe. For all three tattoos the communication and consultation process was very difficult. To start, the artist did very little prep to make sure I got what I wanted. He basically didn’t want to sketch anything up and just wanted to do his own thing on his own timeline. Once the appointment was scheduled for this last tattoo, the day arrived to do the tattoo, the artist was VERY late to my appointment and was not able to complete the tattoo because of this. This resulted in me not getting what I wanted. Due to the lack of communication, lack of consultation, lack in time management, and unprofessionalism, I ended up with something completely different than what I envisioned. I ended up having to go to another artist at another shop who was much more communicative and was able to inform me about options on completing what I had in mind for my tattoo. He was able to complete it in a short period of time, and I was just as pleased with his work. I gave this shop 2 stars because I understand most of my issues is with the one artist. However, the shop stands behind the work of the artist and if you’re looking for a good well-rounded artist/shop that won’t leave you hanging, pulling out your hair waiting to see if they will finish tattoo before next client, or unwilling to sketch what you want, I would NOT recommend this shop. Unfortunately, the business practices here by the artists saddens me and there ARE other artists/shops that I would recommend with the same caliber of work AND much better practices.

Karen is a fantastic artist who created exactly what I wanted...looking forward to more!!

Closed on sundays, or at least today. Im all about supporting local businesses and this may have been an oversight, but as a small business owner, u need to make sure all info is on point always as promotion is important. This, for me, is the reason ill mever come back. Loyalty is everything, in all aspects of life. Lack of updated info for the customers and potentials is a big thing for me. Thats all. No disrespect tho, ive heard great things otherwise.

They had great customer service. Gabriel did my tattoo and he was very kind and gentle, his work turned out beautiful. I would recommend liquid fetish any day. It’s a little more pricey but the quality is outstanding!

Very clean and the staff is super cool. This was my first tattoo and Karen (I hope I'm spelling that right) was outstanding. She was very nice and super steady. I caught the bug and this will be my regular place.

I honestly love this location, the receptionist was super friendly also the Artist!! OMG!! When I tell you that their communication skills are on point they really are. Crio is great at handling the ideas giving you the style and art concept with adding some of his flavor. The rose came out phenomenal also the location was very clean Covid safety protocol on point. Best believe I’m coming back Highly recommend coming here

Long wait to be seen just to get rescheduled, twice! My concern was starting a project that wouldn't get done due to his availability/commitment. Requested a call from Greg. I'm sure others had a wonderful experience, this is just mine at LF downtown. No call back hence the bad review.
