Next Generation Tattoo Shop

I booked an appointment through tiktok.. I understand asking for a deposit to save the spot for being tattooed... what I don't understand is asking for additional money to get the ink to be tattooed... I've never heard of that before and this is what this tattoo shop has been trying to do with me for the last hour... I did send a deposit on Friday...today is Monday and I only received two sketches even though I was told I was going to get three I sent...Scott apparently that is his name...$120 because I was going to get one tattoo on the back of my forearm and a small initial... I was instructed to zelle the money to a Dave... Today when I was asked for the additional $75 I was expected to zelle it to a said Amy... Neither numbers are valid neither the store number is valid.. I looked through the reviews and it does not look like there is a Scott working there... Seems like most of the people working at that shop are not fully bilingual so I'm not sure who I really been talking to... All I ask is since I prepaid for the initial tattoo, to at least get that done because I did pay for that.. I have screenshots of all the transactions and all the communications and now I've been blocked from tik Tok and the Scott person does not want to take my phone calls.. I did tell him that I was still going to show up for my appointment on Friday at 7:00 p.m. but I was replied with a threat of police involvement.. though I'm the one that was being robbed so I'm not sure how that would work... Regardless, I need someone to reach out to me because that's $120...yes it may be a small amount for a tattoo but that's money I worked hard for, and intended it towards a new piece.. Money back, or tattoo... That's reasonable.

I went for a lower Helix ear piercing and the Hispanic young lady who did it pierced me in the wrong spot and used the wrong jewelry. I went to another shop later that day to have it removed and get it pierced where it was supposed to be to avoid infection and make sure it actually healed properly. Also, she provided me with zero aftercare instructions and didn’t seem to be knowledgeable on how long it takes to heal. I’m pretty upset I wasted money here and they don’t provide refund.

They often post a month worth of sales. I went in because they had a discount on 3 inch name tattoos. Tiffany who is the wife of the JR who tattooed me said it would be $60. The sale was for $40. Her mother (know as big daddy) who was drinking a can of Pepsi and feeding a new born asked to see some IDs to which we did and then they proceeded to ask for the $60. We paid and JR did an excellent job. I really held off on posting the review because I was hoping JR did house calls so I didn’t have to go into the shop and deal with Tiffany again. Stinks that the place won’t get traction with an owner who post one price then gives you another.
