Articulture

Mike «Miami Mike» Fernandez did a great job. In short order, it felt like a friend was tattooing me! The atmosphere of the shop is very laid back, and inviting. Some shops can be somewhat intimidating, but not Articulture. Everyone there seems to enjoy being there, and that makes customers feel very comfortable.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. I have gotten work done there a few times and each time is worse than the time before. They can’t communicate well at all. The artists talk crap about each other while they’re working on you. Their credit card machine is always ‘broken’ and they will ask you to walk a few blocks down to the atm so you can pay in cash. Every piece of work I’ve gotten done there has had to be fixed by someone else. They’re trashy, dirty, unprofessional, and they don’t listen. Tell them what you want and they won’t listen very well. And make sure if you do have the balls to try this shop ask for a receipt. They won’t give you one and they won’t offer you one either. I have had a few friends go there as well and they’ve had the exact same issue. They have to go and get their work fixed. Also if you have an appointment call an hour before to make sure you’re still on. I’ve had a few appointments and have shown up and they’ve refused to work on my saying they have all these other pressing projects. Horrible customer service. I tried talking to them about a piece they royally screwed up and kept trying to turn it on me with false accusations and all sorts of crazy stuff. And then they blocked me and wouldn’t return my messages or calls.

Completely avoid. Called for two consultations was told to come in anytime. Went to shop and girl just said cool we can do add on for both of you. No sketching, just notes. Despite skepticism I made two appointments for 7 pm tonight after a guy in the back who I think was a owner/​artist yelled $ 200 bucks. Showed up tonight and my appointment wasn’t in the books. Same guy in back yelled «I have an appointment tonight?» Kid working the counter was socializing with some teenagers and asked what we wanted done. All the notes were gone. He told me I could wait an hour and a half and immediately went back to his friends. I became completely uneasy at lack of professionalism and left. Got home and tried to comment via Facebook but all criticisms are removed. Avoid at all costs and go to Howl down the street. Tattoo shops with two for Tuesday or all you can sit for for $ 399 are toooo risky.
