I have had 2 tattoos done before this, one is a cross that's almost six inches on my back that took over an hour. The cross cost me $145 at 13 Roses in Atlanta (amazing place). I went to Chameleon and wanted a small tattoo on my right hip, they made me wait for awhile, the workers ignored me and didn't tell me what was going on. I already didn't like the place that much. THEN he showed me the tattoo, it looked fine and I asked him how much and he told me he would figure it out and come back... so I waited again for what seemed like forever. While I was waiting a girl came in and said she wanted touch ups on a tiny line in her tattoo, and they quoted her $75. I laughed to myself because I thought how badly she was getting ripped off. (Little did I know). So he finally comes back out and says something to the receptionist who goes ""OK, it'll be $175."" And begins to ring me up on the cash register. What tattoo place charges you BEFORE you see the outcome?? I thought that was ridiculous but I was too busy trying to figure out how I was going to pay for it. $175???! The tattoo took 15 minutes, ended up even smaller than I intended and I left with NO money in my wallet. I had brought $200 thinking that I needed about $40 cash in my wallet...and after I paid tip I was left broke. Don't go here... Even if you have to travel a little farther, I'm sure you'll leave happier and be able to pay your bills.
Pros: The artist was professional and conversational.
Cons: I paid $200 for a $120 tattoo.
