South City Market Reviews Summary

Artist Skills and Creativity

Pros:

• "Erika was amazing, I had a vague idea of what I wanted the design to look like but when she showed me her sketch it blew me away with how she somehow perfectly adapted my inspiration pics to what I wanted."
• "Sep was great, I changed my idea and he was quick to redesign my tattoo and bring what I wanted to life on the day."
• "Lauren was amazing, I asked her to create two designs for me, which she did and captured what I wanted perfectly."

Cons:

• "Kirk criticized my tattoo choice, calling it 'cliché' and he lacked creativity, getting me to do all the work."

Customer Experience and Studio Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The studio was also super friendly and chilled with great energy and I would definitely come back for more."
• "Really chill and friendly vibes. Nawon was friendly and made me feel at ease. Felt really at home by the end."
• "The studio is super clean with nice music and everyone was smiling and very welcoming."

Cons:

• "During the trip and much discussion, we decided to go with a much smaller version of the same design. When we entered the shop, tables were so cluttered in the room that it was difficult to cross the room."
• "Walked in on the off chance. All started well but didn’t end well. I asked for text on each arm. I asked for the text to be the same size and to be symmetrical to match an existing tattoo, as different font sizes would look strange."

Professionalism and Artist Behavior

Pros:

• "Erika’s work was so detailed and caring. Took care of me so well, I can’t thank you enough."
• "Carmen was super lovely & really personable, gave me plenty of breaks and was always checking I was comfortable."
• "Had a full day tattoo session with Carmen - she went above & beyond all expectations! I loved my design and the final tattoo is beautiful."

Cons:

• "Nawon denied having a prior agreed price at the original consultation. Nothing was added to increase the price; in fact, the final piece was much smaller than agreed."
• "The artist also talked about inappropriate stuff while I was getting the tattoo, of which I then asked the artist if they were ok to tattoo."
• "Got a tattoo from Kirk and we decided from the beginning that the eyes will be coloured, I paid the deposit and the night before the tattoo I’ve been told they don’t have colour but they can proceed with the tattoo and once is healed they will have the colours and I can go back to finish the tattoo."
