Sadly seems very unprofessional. I called in the beginning of April I sent a photo of the tattoo and arm and I set up a consultation with Alex for may 21st and come to find out had I not kept calling he was going into surgery waited a whole month for this and they never even re scheduled me or even tried to reach out unless I called. Very disappointing.

This place is the best hands done. I'm a repeat customer and will continue to go there. John the owner and Rod are the best in the business. 8 tats later and I'm still going. They listen to your ideas, give you their true opinion and make you feel at home. Thx vanity tattoo!

Message them on Facebook on Friday September 6th to book an appointment. They wrote back and said Sunday September 15th at noon would work. I confirmed. Then I asked if they would like me to drop off my designs ahead of time, they told me to email them over. Did that and explained how I wanted them and where, thanked them, and said see you sunday the 15th at noon. This morning I got an email from them saying my designs were too small for how I wanted them and that the artist who was going to do them forgot he had his daughters birthday that day so he couldnt do them anyways. Terrible customer service. They should have just suggested that what I wanted needed to be bigger for it to come out nice, which i would have totally agreed to seeing as i want these badly for family who has recently passed away. Also, how do you "forget" your daughters birthday party? That is something completely unforgettable if you ask me. I've read past reviews about this place turning down people who dont want huge tattoos done and this confirmed it. If you dont want something huge done, dont waste your time with this company because they will only get your hopes up and waste yours.

Took my friend here so we both could get tattoos, hers a tribute to her mom and mine for my kids. The guy wouldn't do the design either of us wanted. Said it would have to be a certain size and it wouldn't fit on the wrist...BS!! I asked what size needle do you plan on using cause I have seen this specific tattoo in person and it can be done! Gave us such attitude! No thanks....I am going somewhere else!

I've gotten about 8 tattoos on my body but only one was done here at Vanity. I regret not coming here for the other 7 bc since the moment I called to walk in & get tattd to the moment I walked out the door with my amazing! finished product, I was treated very professional,respectful & honestly! Some artist may give you a little talk about how to treat your tattoo but here they actually cared & made sure I was going to have a good looking tattoo they even give you a small supply to get started with 😍 BEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE NO JOKE.

Very clean and extremely nice employees. John and April both helped us out with our piercings and made us feel very relaxed. Will definitely go back for more piercings and tattoos.

I got a tattoo from Jeff about a year ago and his line work was not the best. I got a heartbeat tattoo (first tattoo ever) and once it healed I noticed a small gap in the line. I might go back but would definitely want someone who can make straight lines..

Let me tell you help amazing this place is. I called because one of my piercings closed up and John responded " Come on in! We'll repierce it for free." and he gave me a new pair of barbells too. He is amazing.

I got three tiny tattoos done on my 18th birthday at vanity. The healing process went fine, but they came out patchy. Fine with me, it happens. Whatever. So I went back a year and a half later, several times to try and get a touch up, and every time I was told they were either too busy or my tattoo wasnt healed yet. It has been over two years, and I have yet to be able to get it touched up. Not to mention one of my peircings from here rejected, as well as a friends. And the price for it was a bit much. Either way, so much for free touch ups. Ill be going to a new place for my next tattoo this summer and my fixes.
