Made an appointment, payed $20 bucks and discussed ideas with an artist whod have drawings ready for me the following week. When I got there on my scheduled time the artist (Oscar) was out of town and nobody in the studio knew about my appointment. The so called owner apologized (think his name was KC or CJ or something like that) and said hed have drawings for me in an hour. He did. But was offended when I asked to change things around. We eventually settled on a design which was a lotus compass with light turquoise and purple watercolor splashings/light clouds. As he started working on my arm his next appointment showed up and he was getting stressed but wanted to honor my appointment. I felt him getting annoyed with me/the situation so I tried to make jokes, to keep him happy, he was after all putting something on my skin that I was going to have forever... But he kept being sarcastic and rude, he was very rough on my skin and working really fast. I got really sad and tried very hard not to cry in the chair, he noticed that and said that this wasnt working and that we should stop. I couldnt have agreed more. He charged me another $60 (adding to the $20 I already payed) but compensated me with a $100 giftcard (like I would ever go back there..) and didnt give me any after care advice. I went back two weeks later, in hopes to get my money back in exchange for the gift card. I felt terrible. When I got there and asked to speak to the owner, the girl at the front desk said she was the owner? I asked for the man and she called him out. He saw me and without even looking at the tattoo he dismissed me, said he would absolutely not return my money. Its now been two months since my experience and my tattoo is looking horrible. My skin is so scarred and swollen and the lines are a mess. Ive had proffessional tattoo artists look at it as The Vale Tattoo didnt care to help me, and I was told my skin is too scarred and infected and that I should see a dermatologist for immediate attention and then consider laser removal and cover up. I was going to attempt to sell the giftcard on Craigslist but I cant because I wouldnt recommend anyone going there. Do not go there.

Brought my sons in for their first tattoos and everything was awesome. KC did a kick ass job and was just tons of fun to deal with. Highly recommended. Great people.
