Dogs running around the entire shop where there are open needles and piercing guns being used no sanitation at all. There is f**** and pee all over the floor. Old food bags everywhere trash everywhere. Artists do not wash their hands or Sanitize the area they are tattooing. There have been multiple staph infections from reused tattoo needles. I have witnessed the artists using meth in the bathroom and then tattooing. The owners Sysco and ***** are either high or drunk and tattoo. The owner ***** has physically assaulted his wife in front of customers including myself. I Have also witnessed the owner Sysco call a black man the n word when he confronted him for not telling him about his seizures.Initial Complaint

My two friends and I all got a matching tattoo. We also had infections for two weeks and had to get antibiotics. All of our tattoos are spotty and look 20 years old. None of them are filled in. They are only ouli es of Mickey ****** nothing complicated. They look worse then prison tattoos or homeade tattoos. We were also given no aftercare or directions on what to do. The same need was used on all 3 of us.I contacted the shop after the tattoos were healed snd showed spotty and not filled and never received a response. We were charged $150 each/ $450 total for the three tattoos. The shop was also so filthy. I requested a refund to get them redone at a reputable shop. We do not want to come back and get redone because we felt the experience was terrifying being that we all were infected. Our tattoos were done by ***** who did not wear gloves and was on her phone the whole time. It was really unsanitary there. I just didnt know any better but now i do and i have learned.We also got piercings for $15 per piercing. I got two and my friends got one each. They all were infected as well. we received no aftercare for those as well. We do not have our piercings anymore. This i did not ask for a refund because they are not permanent damage to My body that is horrifying and embarrassing looking.
