I can't stress enough, don't go here. I came into wicked ways based on "good" reviews and now I've already started laser to erase this mistake.
I went to the Stone oak location for my first tattoos. I got 2 at the same time, the "Bishock" three link chain on my wrist and a triskelion, as used in "Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice" which I asked to look as though it were painted on. Because of the detail in the triskelion, both together came to 400 dollars. I thought this was pricey but I still went for it since I thought this was a top of the line tattoo parlor.
Little did I know that what I was going to get was bottom of the barrel work. Danny was my "artist" on his profile it says he specializes in "simple line work to full color realism". As you can see from my photos, his lines are terrible, each link of that tattoo are completely different, which is not how the photos I showed him looked. Since they are all SO very different I have no choice but to remove it and do it over. "Fixing" it would have turned this into a blob now and even worse as it aged.
The triskelion isn't a circle in its place, an oval at best, and not a "painted" look as much as a stamp. I specifically asked for advice on where to put a circle and the most I got from Danny was "you'll like it anywhere because it'll be yours". As it turned out, this wasn't true at all. I came in to show it to start the formal complaint and the first thing their piercer said was "circles look bad everywhere." I was also told to compare prices from at least 5 other shops and this is when I found that 280 dollars on average was what other reputable shops would charged and also when other artists all laughed at how terrible and expensive these are.
When I came to the owner about my complaints, I advised him I was non-confrontational because I have a very bad anxiety disorder and I just wanted to talk through our options as both these tattoos have been made fun of by my friends, and every other tattoo shop in town. At first Norm agreed with me, that the chain needed to be removed and that he himself would personally draw up a fix for the triskelion, he would take the weekend to draw it.
A week passed and I asked for the drawings so I could review to see if it could be fixed. I got a "thanks for the reminder" text and then nothing. A month passed and I sent another reminder, with no response from Norm. I first talked to norm in April, by June I asked that maybe we look at a refund so that I could start on laser treatments. Norm said he'd talk to his partners about it, but that I should go with their removal system called "tatt2away". I looked into this system and from everything I could see this system leaves raised scars in a circular pattern and that's what the portfolio for their removal specialist shows as of this posting.
I still hear nothing back from Norm and tell him I'm in the area, ready to sign whatever paperwork they need for the refund, and I get a barrage of rude texts in which he threw my anxiety issue back in my face, took back his decision to remove the tattoo and only offered touch ups, of which I still have yet to see that artwork! This was the last response of his on July 19th: "There seems to be, since the beginning, no reasonable expectations here. Your tattoos require a touch up and adjustment. Nothing more. At the time we spoke I was trying to be understanding and sensitive to you as a client and your anxiety issues. As I have said now, after further thought, those anxieties and your failure to understand the process of tattooing are unreasonable. However we are still here and available to take care of your touchup session for your tattoos."
Again, don't go here, the prices are terrible, the work is awful, and there is no such thing as service for something that on your body permanently. It'll be a year until my laser is complete but it's worth it to me to laser these off and get them done right.

My mom and I got matching tattoos by tonee vas and they came out amazing!!!! We came in with a basic idea and he drew it into something better than we could've hoped for. I highly recommend tonee and the shop. He works with you so you'll come out with something you'll love. Thank you tonee for an amazing tattoo! I'll definitely be coming back to see you in the future!

To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. With a feathered hand, meticulous detail, and a saint’s patience, Danae outperformed my expectations and I couldn’t be happier

Dalton Miller did a beautiful job on creating a tattoo for me in a fluid and simple design, which is what I wanted. I never thought I’d get a tattoo. Now here I am - free! Thank you Dalton for giving me your hand through that journey for me.

Danae is AMAZING! I just got a custom tattoo from her and the whole time she was super nice and worked with me through the whole process!
I’ll definitely be going back to her again for more tattoos!!

Last night I got a new tattoo at Wicked Ways, after googling tattoo shops in San Antonio. I picked them as they had great reviews and great artists based on work I saw. I have many tattoos so it’s important to me to find the right place. I am so very glad I went there. Dalton was my artist and although I came in a bit later that I should have, he accommodated my idea and provided excellent feedback that made it even better. The ending result is a great tattoo, an amazing experience with Dalton who made the time pass quickly. Thank you. I will be back and highly recommend this Business... if you want a great tattoo and service.

Danae was the best! She had a super soft hand, and my tattoo healed amazing. The lines stuck well and everything was very clean. Will definitely be coming back :)
