I saw another reviewer who seemed to have a very similar problem as I did. I went in over the weekend, hoping Id be able to get in sometime soon, or at least speak with an artist about the tattoo I wanted to get. I also wanted to talk to an artist about working to alter a tattoo I already have. The woman at the front desk was incredibly condescending from the get go. She seemed to think very highly of herself. I described to her the tattoo I have hoping to get (a pretty simple wrist tattoo). She brushed this off as if I werent worth her time. I then tried to see if I could talk to someone about altering my current tattoo. Instead of giving me a name, or having me talk to someone, she decided to take matters into her own hands. As far as I could tell she was not an artist and so had no place telling me what I should and shouldnt do with the tattoo. She was very ignorant, would not listen, and talked over me. She clearly didnt understand what I was trying to describe and treated me like an idiot for wanting something she didnt deem good enough. And then, after all of that, she was incredibly closed mouthed, vague, and standoffish about giving a date, time, or even just an artists name I could talk to at some point. All in all, it was an INCREDIBLY frustrating experience. This woman was very unprofessional, and I wouldnt be surprised if shes run off other potential customers with her ignorance and standoffish behavior. Lost Art has good work, but theyre not better than everyone in Salt Lake. Ill take my business to a shop with artists that are just as good and have a friendlier, more accepting environment.

Way Overpriced!.. I had about 1200 cash with me ready to get another tattoo. I was doing some work at the Courthouse nearby and figured I could spend a couple of hours throwing down on some ink. I know a good tattoo is worth money. The peice I wanted was simple. The girl at the front desk actually helped me look it up and its a simple clipart. I asked her how much she then said between 3-400 and the art was to go on the top of my hands by my knuckle super simple clean peice. Anyways I was shocked it was so much. I have tons of peices done that are amazing and way more detailed than some basic clipart but I agreed and said okay no big deal then she says but they have to take out all of the detail. Im looking at her like shes crazy. The peice had almost nothing to it. I think the woman at the front counter was overpricing me either cause she didnt think I was serious or didnt care for my business. Either way I would be embarrassed if I was the owner of this place having someone like that work here. And for some reason if she ended up being the owner which would shock me. She needs to seriously rethink how she treats her customers... Ive been to alot of tattoo places all around the states and this one seems over priced and over opinionated.. Disappointing.. Wont go here again. I dont want to be bullshitted.

I was told to go here because they did awesome work. I stopped by to talk to an artist and show them what I wanted to get. The lady at the front desk was very ignorant and when I showed her a photo of what I was thinking of getting and she flat out told me that it wasnt going to look good where I wanted it or how small I wanted it..Im not even sure if she was an artist but I thought it was very rude to say that to a customer especially when I was with two friends decked with tats..not a good impression. The point of my visit was to get suggestions and she more or less just shut me down. Not a good vibe for me. No matter how good the work, they seemed to have the attitude that they were too good for us. Ill take my money elsewhere.

Base fare is $60.00 for anyone wanting to know! I was a walk in client, I went in around 12:30ish and there was not a wait. Moises was my artist, I showed him the tattoo idea that I wanted, he sketched it out on a piece of paper as a rough idea and then went to the back to draw it up for me. The tattoo cost me $80.00, which is super fair because he took the time to draw it up instead of just tracing the original image. Everyone who was there was friendly, and the shop/tools are clean. Great environment to get a tattoo in.

4 months ago I got a coverup of a 15 yr old tattoo. It looked amazing -At First- Unfortunately I now live out of state and cant get them to coverup my coverup! The lines are disappearing and the color was not saturated, at all! This red has already faded to pink. This tattoo looks older than the tattoo I had covered up! I thought Lost Art would be a slam dunk but in addition to that, I was charged $300 for a tattoo that took barely over a hour to put on. PLEASE research your artists before getting something permanent!!

Talented shop that has well traveled artists. Got a piece done on my inside bicep by Jerry. I brought him just a rough idea I had, came back an hour later and he had drawn up a wicked custom design. I went to 4 other shops in SLC (Im new to the area) before Lost Art and only got some really generic designs. Shop was clean and professional and does free re-touch after healing but doesnt give you that bogus "within 30 days only" clause other shops had. Tattoo turned out awesome, highly recommend Jerry.

Honestly Im not sure, i felt rushed after asking for a drawing to be done again, instead of drawing it again Gabriel said he would skip that part I didnt want... Now I permanently have what looks like a dick and balls in my tattoo. Sadly at the time i was so excited for my tattoo I didnt notice and even tipped really good. Given Im transgender Im not sure if it was bigoted or just a accident, either way a tattoo shouldnt be rushed and they should draw it for you.

I had a tattoo of leaves done by Dean in 2004 and he did a great job of making it very realistic and beautiful, tons of detail. I went back in 2008 to get a tattoo of flowers and brought 3 photographs with me of real flowers... i left the shop with a very disappointing cartoony version of poppies on me. Nice try. I was very explicit about what I wanted. If I went back to Dean for another tattoo Id have to give him a talking to first.

Jerry Roberts at Lost Art Tattoo is the best tattoo artist in Salt Lake City, Utah! Seriously, I looked at every artist in Utah and beyond and then I found Jerry! He is an incredible artist and created the most amazing piece for me. I love it so much! The shop is really nice and clean and everyone there is really friendly. If you are going to get a tattoo, get a good one and get it here!

I went in a month ago and again yesterday to finish up a tattoo on my arm by Schmoe, he is an incredible artist. Lost Art will be the only shop I go to from now on, they are very clean and extremely helpful, talented and friendly. Ive already recommended this shop to several friends and co-workers and will continue to recommend it to everyone interested in getting some work done.
