DO NOT GO HERE!!! I sent a message to Kelly about a tattoo and he said he could do the tattoo that day. Red flag #1. I went in for a consult the next day, put down a deposit, sent multiple reference photos and he said he would send me his ideas and we could tweak them. I didn’t hear from him for days. Red flag #2. I had to message him and ask how the drawing was going to see if he had even started. He had not. He told me he draws the night before the appointment. Red flag #3. He wings his tattoos. When he finally sent me a photo of his idea it was a exact copy of one of the reference photos. Which I pointed out. He told me since I liked that one the most he would just do that. Red flag #4. He has no original ideas if his own. I was expecting a unique tattoo from scratch. When I pointed out that it was someone else’s work and just a reference photo he told me it was a generic photo from google and that everyone has the same tattoo since tattoos have been around for so long. He also said that since he put different leaves on it that it was fine. I told him I wanted a original piece since that’s what I was paying for. He asked me who the artist was. Red flag #5. He thought since he was the tattoo artist he could do whatever he wanted on MY body. Then quite condescendingly he told me he didn’t have to time to debate what he does as a “professional” “artist”. And said he could give me my deposit back and to look elsewhere or he could do a “awesome peony”. So I asked him to send the money back since it was sent via Apple Pay and told him I would find someone who actually wanted to work with me and be professional. He then called me childish and said he was nice and professional and giving me my deposit back, then changed his mind. Then a few minutes later he said he would give it to me in cash if I came in the next day. I told him he could send it back via Apple Pay since that was what was used he told me no and that he was being “very patient”. Then kept threatening to not give the money back. I’m sure he thinks he’s a very nice guy. If you go here don’t go to Kelly. Altogether a terrible experience and very unprofessional. -100/10 do not recommend.

First let me say the guys were really great and talented here. It is a very professional and welcoming environmemt. I was really impressed to see a sterile clean up from the staff here as well. My husband and I walked in and were immediately taken care of by the owner Jonny. We love our tattoos!! I highly recommend the Minds Eye Tattoo Studi.💀
