Story of My Life Tattoo

I got my tattoo from Quincy. I had a really positive experience! It was my first tattoo and she did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable. Her skills are amazing and I am very happy with how my tattoo turned out!

Not good
I took my daughter there for her 1st tat...She had a picture of what she wanted... it kinda came out like the picture but could have been loads better...
idk why but her tat doesn't feel smooth either it's bumpy...
She has had other tattoos (not from here) and they are not bumpy...
I wish Skibo's was still in Fort Collins

I called 3 times in the past 2 1/2 weeks and spoke with whoever picked up the phone who (supposedly) recorded my name, number and proposed tattoo. Each time I called (days apart) I was told I'd get a call back to consult with the tattoo artist (Clint) I chose, and I still haven't received such from him. Ignoring your customers (without reason) is very unorganized and disparate. If you want an immediate/prompt response, and professional tattoo artists, hit up tattoo shops in Denver.

I paid for a chest piece in full. It still needs $400 worth of work that I paid for. I have reached out multiple times to get it finished and have not been provided an opportunity to schedule an appointment. So I paid $400 and lost my money and am stuck with an incomplete tattoo that if I want finished will need to pay for again. Very frustrating

Just reopened with new artists and have done a great job acquiring talent. Highly recommend if you're looking for new ink come pay them a visit.

I've been to a couple of the artists here and am always so happy with my experience. Talented, fun, and relaxed atmosphere. I refer people here constantly, and they always come back thanking me for the recommendation! So happy to have just randomly stumbled upon this shop a few years back.

We took some friends here for a impromptu tattoo and we were very pleased with the cleanliness and the professionalism that the staff and operation tend to. It was a small tattoo but still reasonably priced and they did great work. I would recommend these guys to anyone that lives in the area or is visiting from out of town

i have many tattoos and the ones i got here healed horribly. i did everything right but the line work is messy, the color is uneven, and just looks like apprentice sloppy work. very disappointed but you get what you pay for with the shop minimum

So far so good. Just had a consultation and I now have my session planned. I can't wait. I have had this tattoo planned since middle school so about 15 years ago. I will update once I have my session.

My experience was with Clint.

Short version: Great art, but lacking in communication and professionalism. UNFINISHED WORK.

Art: 5/5
Cost: Fair
Cleanliness: building 4/5, artist station 5/5
Friendliness: 5/5
Professionalism: 3/5
Communication: 0/5

Details:
I will preface with saying I have had a lot of work done, and more hours than I remember, so this is not an inexperienced review.

I had been planning a memorial piece to finish my sleeve for close to 8 years, and looking for the right artist. I came across Clints work and saw his obvious talent that fit what I was looking for, so made an appointment to talk with him. He made a great first impressions; seemingly professional and very friendly. I shared my ideas and asked for feedback with an open mind. He seemed very confident about the project and made several assurances, stating he would be working on the project over time and would stay in contact with me, sending me pictures and updates on the project for feedback. He did state that it would be a bit before getting started as we made the appointment pretty far out (5 months). He did not keep even 1 of his assurances.

I waited 4 months before reaching out and had heard nothing up to that point, no big he was busy. I sent him an email (as requested) just to touch base; no response. So I waited till 3 weeks out from the date, and call. I left a message just wondering where he was at; nothing again. I wait until a week out from the date and call once more, had to leave a message again. He did not call back until less than 48 hrs before the appointment. He did apologize and still exuded confidence in the project and stated he would send me pictures that night; based on his reputation I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Nothing that night.

I finally recieve a photo late the night before the appointment. It looked thrown together, and he wanted feedback (not what I expected for 5 months of waiting). But again his work and reputation led me to extend trust, as he assured it was a rough draft and he would "Take care of me". I show up the next day and hash out details. There was issues with the placement and he suggested starting a cover up with this piece as I had been thinking of covering that area anyway. He promised with confidence that it would work well and he would get it covered even if I had to come back for a second session. We agreed on placement and area of cover.

After working through some thorns on both sides, the experience was overall good. He is experienced, friendly and considerate. Nearing the end he informs me of what he would be finishing and what he would do another time, as this was an all day session. The final result was not the same as we agreed on regarding the cover up, nor was the detail up to par of his reputation and example work; but he again promised he'd get me back in to finish the shading on the piece as well as finish the cover up; "I definitely have you covered". He even made some wiggle room on the final price due to the miscommunications. Before leaving he tells me to send him pictures of it when it heals in 2 weeks and we would get set up to finish everything.

2 weeks later I send him the pictures as requested; no response. I know hes busy so I wait a week and send him a follow up text as he said to do; no response. I wait 3 weeks and give him a call, I get an answer and then get hung up on. I give him the benefit of the doubt (maybe it disconnected). I call back get sent to VM; it's full. So I wait several weeks to see if he gets back to me and nothing, not even a text saying got your communication just really busy. I am very laid back and forgiving but I can take a hint, and am now left with a partially done piece and a half done cover up. Unfinished work is beyond unprofessional, I put up with a lot of red flags due to his good reputation, but got bitten for it.

I cannot in good conscience reccomended Clint, or Story of My Life Tattoo. Now I have to find someone to finish what he started.
Beyond dissapointed!
