Although these guys do have a clean establishment, they definitely lack the professional edge. I can't speak for the work of all of the artists there, but the last piece I had done was by Remy.

He drew up the stencil placed it on the skin and went to work. I brought in a specific example and supplied tons of reference material, but he was certain that his design (which was twice the size of my intended design) would look crisper. Their motto is "Go big or GO HOME."

The finished piece looked horrible!!! The lines were shaky, the color was blotchy, the shading was inconsistent (the needle marks weren't blended in on most of the design), and HE EVEN SCARRED ME.

I was charged $300+ for the piece, and when I tried to discuss touch-up options with him later on, he had such a bad attitude, like he was offended because I was being too critical.

I was charged for the touch-up, which consisted of going over 4 lines and listening to off-handed complaints the whole time regarding how frustrating it was to have to work on people who were obsessed with having a perfect tattoo. It made me extremely uncomfortable. Based on the claims listed on their website, I was under the impression that they guaranteed the quality of their work, and placed priority on customer satisfaction.

I have consulted another local artist, and due to the scaring, the large needle size used for outlining, and the extensive use of black, I will have to pay $600+ for him to straighten out the lines, and work cover-up on the areas that might still take color.

Don't go to Tatmandu. Save yourself the headache and permanent eye-sore.
