Chrome Gypsy Tattoo RIP-OFF Shop Las Vegas Nevada

Do not go to this shop if you want quality work and a clean shop.  The employees are druggies...proven!  Go to YELP and read some of the reviews - shop smells of pot, shop is filthy, employees are high, etc.  A friend of mine paid big money for a tattoo that was supposed to be beautiful - the artist's work was always superb - until she turned into a druggie.  Her work has suffered and it showed.  She took pictures of the finished tattoo and posted on Instagram - her boss (owner of the shop - artists are independents) made her remove it as it is so bad - so that says it all I think. 

My friend asked this artist - before she turned into an addict - to draw another tat for her and she asked for $200 up front for deposit - not unusual for a custom tat to be done - however -- she never did the drawing and now she is not trusted by my friend to do tattoo nor fix first one she messed up so bad.  My friend asked for her money back and all she got was rude text messages calling her filthy names, and general harassment.  She has all of the texts printed out along with the comments from the Social Media Page so yes she has proof of the harrassment and name calling, etc.

So my friend went to the owner of the shop - Clean Rock - his response was not what would be expected for a supposedly respectable business.  All he asked was "what do you want me to do?"  Iin other words - I'm not and can't do anything - when in reality, Clean Rock, yes you can!!!  Do what is professionally, legally and morally right - refund her money and take a percentage of your artist's earnings until SHE pays you back.  He apparently cares nothing for his customers - very poor business practices.  As far as the cleanliness - one post on YELP stated that the shop was dirty so I have to question -- are instruments and equipment being sterilized properly if at all? 

Are tables and chairs etc. being sanitized?  Is ink fresh and clean?  The owner's response to this was -- his "cleaning person" was off that day so the shop wasn't cleaned - do the artists and owner not know how to clean?  I for one would not go to a shop where there is filth and it's a mess, have to question on sterlization of equipment and cleanliness of ink.  I've been in many, many tattoo shops and have never encountered evident drug use, filth, messiness, questionable sanitation procedures, etc. 

I'd rather go someplace reputable, clean, sanitary, with artists who are not high, and pay more and get great work - not something from an addict who has no clue what she is doing any more.  This went public on Social Media site and the artist was on the post making harassing comments and the owner was on there stating my friend was being childish - who is being childish here?  The artist and the owner.....do not respond to a customer complaint with name calling and threats and harassment - THAT is childish. 

My friend only asked for her money back that she had paid as a deposit - nothing more.  She was professional and very nice about it - wasn't calling names, harassing, etc.  Clean Rock didn't like my post on YELP so he had YELP remove it....can't take the truth Clean Rock?  I will continue to post on YELP if they remove my posts and I have already told them it is a violation of my Freedom of Speech to voice an opinon.  I never called names, never harassed them, just stated the facts and made comments about other posts regarding the drug use and the filth. 

All she wanted was her $200 back - a drop in the bucket for you - you charge $100 minimum regardless of size and coloring of tat....one girl had a gift certificate for $50 and couldn't use it because you had a minimum of $100 and she only had the gift certificate.   They also quote prices and then up the price once the customer comes into the shop so if you do go here and get a price - get it in writing...otherwise you WILL be paying more than quoted.  Again - Do Not Go to THIS shop - you will regret it.
