Evil Genius Tattoo Club

Our experience was great! Săip was very helpful and informative consulting my husband and I on what our expectations and what he suggests would look best! That's what a good artist does! That's why we came to Evil Genius! They came highly recommended. And depending on the type of body art you are looking for, depends on the artist that best fits your expectations and their specialty in the piece you choose. I also like the fact that they charge by the hour. The way I look at it, you get what you pay for. If you are willing to endure it, you will get the best results by taking the time to perfect your piece. Great art takes time! I cant wait to get started!! Thank you Evil Genius for a good experience!
(This is the piece I'm looking to get, with Săip expert guidance, it will be bad ass)

Davion Ellis is a true creative genius! I came in to the shop with an idea for a memorable tattoo and he turned it into a beautiful work of art! He was professional through the entire process and I could not have asked for a better experience! I now know exactly who to go to when I need more work done. Thanks Davion.

SCAM!!!! This place will take your deposit for a tattoo and never provide any services for you. They feel protected by a small disclosure on their receipt that says "Deposits are non-refundable" They made me put down a deposit to save my spot for my tattoo. They mis-scheduled my appointment and made no attempt to fix the situation. Not even reschedule the time they had mistakenly scheduled me for because I'd still be at work and would not be able to make the appointment. They blocked my messages, wasted my time, took my money, and were completely disrespectful! This place gives local tattoo shops a bad name please spend your HARD EARNED MONEY some where else!

I got my first tattoo here in November of 2017 by Krist and didn't realize until recently (when I finally built up the courage to go and get it fixed by a different artist) how unfortunate my first experience actually was. Scheduling was a challenge as there were a couple appointments that had to be rescheduled, which I understand when you are going to an artist who has such high demand. I really loved the tattoos of his I saw on line so I gave him a lot of artistic freedom. Basically whatever he thought would look nice or be fun to do. I asked for water color flowers, but left the rest up to him.

When my tattoo was finished (top of my foot) I was in PAIN. I know tattoos hurt, but I couldn't put any weight on my foot for WEEKS. I work in healthcare so I know how to properly care for 'open wounds' and I followed all their instructions, down to the letter, even buying the exact products they recommend and sell. My foot ended up swelling up huge, even weeks after the tattoo, and I have very large, very deep scabs. There was a lot of skin trauma. Even after a month, my foot would be fine in the morning, and after being awake and walking around for only a little bit, the bones in the top of my foot would hurt pretty bad. When the swelling mostly went down and the tattoo healed (about 6 weeks) I reached back out for a touch up session. I know he is busy as an artist but It took a LONG time for him to respond, a month after the first email, then three weeks, then another two etc. I was offered a date (the 24th) but no clarification on which month. I had to reach out again to figure out when it would be. I live out of town so I had to know in advance so I could drive back in.

After some back an fourth I got a date. I made the drive to Lafayette (about 3.5 hours) and FIFTEEN minutes before my appointment time (after driving to Lafayette) I got a call from the shop that Krist left for the day, and that he would reschedule with me. I turned around to go home and I never heard from the shop again. I reached out one more time a few months later and got no response. I vowed I would never get a tattoo again because I thought the entire process I went through was normal.

It wasn't until recently that I built up the courage to go to a different artist to see if they would be willing to attempt a coverup, because ultimately I was left with a tattoo that I was unhappy with and frankly didn't look good. I went to this other artist and he did a full coverup, and my experience was so different. It didn't hurt at all compared to the first time through, I was comfortable walking right after it was done, it healed (what I know realize is) normally.

All in all, 1300 dollars was a lot for me to spend on a tattoo to have that be the experience. I would expect with a high dollar price tag a high dollar product, and unfortunately for me personally, I didn't get to have that experience.

I attached photos of the original tattoo immediately after and during healing for reference

After two sessions costing me $1,000 (+250 for a tip) I had my last session (approximate hour long finish up/touch up session) scheduled a couple days before shut down for covid 19 and was told it will be free of charge, I was pumped about that & just planned on leaving another $100 for a tip. I call to reschedule after they re-opened and they now tell me they're going to charge me cause the guy that did my tattoo quit... Now my tattoo in memory of my father who just passed away is unfinished, I refuse to go back there cause that's shady and extremely unprofessional! GO ELSEWHERE!

I had a wonderful experience with Charly as my piercer. She was very helpful and super friendly. She made sure that my paired nostril piercings were just right.

David did an amazing job on my tattoo, and i am in love with it! He was super helpful, patient, and worked with my budget. i will definitely come back to him for my next tattoo!

I don't just have a tattoo, I have a work of art on my back. Krist knew how to take my idea to the next level to create a truly unique combination of art and science. He has respect for both art and his clients and I have enjoyed my 12 hours with him so far.

i got my first tattoo yesterday with flip and while he did an *okay* job (edit: after allowing it to heal, I noticed one of the small circles on the tattoo wasn't completely filled and the circle wasn't even round like the other two - I added two pics for reference. one good circle and the bad circle), he was extremely uninterested and almost rude. my consult with him lasted maybe 10 mins and he simply asked what I wanted without asking anymore questions. also, what an insane price between the deposit and tattoo! I got such a small tattoo, one color (black), and it took maybe two minutes to complete for $157? I will never get a tattoo done by him ever again. he treated me like an inconvenience the entire time. definitely regret picking him as my artist.

Charly, the piercer, knows her stuff but unfortunately the customer service at this shop is lacking.

The first time I came in the man at the front desk ignored me and my boyfriend and carried on a conversation for a few minutes while we waited at the front desk. I had hoped that the wait was a one time thing but it was not.

Three weeks later I came back to get a jewelry post changed out. I was hoping it would be a quick thing when I was down town but it took over 10 minutes of standing at the front desk just to be greeted and asked what I needed despite employees walking around and seeing me waiting.

I'm very disappointed and will not be returning.
