Their receptionist, or who I thought was their receptionist was not very customer service oriented. Id been set on going to this shop for awhile now. Had looked online. Their website looks fantastic (with all the information and artwork the tattoo artists have done etc.) I also called and talked to a man, whom I was informed (by the receptionist) Was the owner. Super nice person, very informative. Now, Im a very different case with tattoos that most. Im allergic (not severely but, enough so that after about a week or so of wearing metal that my body feels it needs to reject, I get rashes and scabs.) I explained my concerns over the phone and was told to email an artist about work and/or schedule an appointment to get a test spot done to make sure my body doesnt reject the ink. Emailing seems very impersonal and pretty lax to me since thats how you apply for jobs these days. I find it ridiculous. Maybe thats just me. The receptionist was very cold and apathetic. She made me (and my boyfriend whom I asked to come with me) feel very stupid. Letting us know that the festering wounds that can come with tattoos are usually very rare cases and usually with red ink. (which is not exactly what I was worried about) Im aware of this, Ive done some research. I am not willing to get red ink. I just wanted black ink. She "texted" the owner, and then I have no idea what he said but she wanted to make sure thats who I talked to. She did inform us that she remembered the conversation. Then scheduled me an appointment with him (the owner) she wouldnt say why specifically with him for next week. I live in vancouver,WA maybe I should have just taken my butt to a non-vegan tattoo shop here and avoided all the hustle and bustle. Whats the difference if they understand your concerns and have let them know youre vegan and would like to use just vegan products? Needless to say she made very little eye contact and just kind of threw a card at me without writing my appointment date and time down. I had to make sure I remembered what she said and she went back to staring at her computer screen. (there was one tattoo artist there working on a client.) I work in customer service, (Im an extremely reasonable, likable person) 98% of the time customers should walk out of your store feeling confident they made the right decision. How could I walk out feeling like a complete fool when I really did nothing wrong there was no tension I was just a bit nervous. I walked out feeling like the shop was full of stuck up people who want to overcharge me for something so stupid. Im cancelling my appointment and never looking back or recommending this place. $80 minimum is a bit absurd since you all use the same ink and this place is more of a novelty that anything else. Once they open because Ive found a very caring, certified, professional tattoo artist that is available and doesnt feel the need to have such strict regulations on their services. Again I really thought that since this place was based on Veganism that the staff would be more warm and friendly. Im saying nothing negative about the artists though, I didnt get the chance to talk to one in person.

Be aware that making an appointment and a deposit isnt a guarantee of anything here in terms of actually getting your tattoo. Edit: I may have implied that they didnt refund my deposit. They did. I am grateful to have received an apology from the artist. I am not an unreasonable person, I think most people, had they made reservations at a restaurant months in advance and even paid for part of their dinner already, would be disappointed to be told that the chef was tending to someone else and didnt want to compromise the food so youll have to wait for hours. Sure, everyone who paid for their meal and made reservations deserves good food. Its on the restaurant (or on Scapegoat) to manage their reservations and the quality of their work to make that happen, not the client. Maybe accidents do just happen with these things, but it doesnt soften the blow when you have been looking forward to something for months and even dragged your S.O with you only to have to tell them youre sorry that you wasted part of your honeymoon.

Ive been tattooed more times than the typical person who still counts how many they have. Hate to do this, but I have to say this was hands down the most inorganic tattoo experience Ive ever had. If it wasnt the hefty deposit fee(more than a typical $40) then its for the email only communication with the artist. Apparently they are "too busy" to have an in person consultation. Not bad tattooing, but nothing to write home about. Thankfully on my part it was a simple piece. As life goes, I took a chance, and Im not upset or regretful of the outcome Id just like to inform anyone seriously looking for a tattoo to think twice about going here. There are plenty of other really great places to get tattooed in this town without the silly hoops this place asks you to jump through. That is my 2 cents, take it for what you will.

Excellent experience, exceptional tattoo. You may have to wait as long or short as it takes for them to get you in since they are booked in advance for their superior work. If you are patient good things will come. BTW thanks to everybody there!

My tattoo by John Wilson is amazing. It was my first experience and I was impressed with the professionalism, friendly atmosphere, and intelligent conversation. The designs and execution are superb.
