Very bad experience
Unfortunately, my partner and I had a very negative experience here.
We booked two tattoos for 27 August and had specifically requested a female artist because the tattoos were in vulnerable/intimate areas. This was also discussed beforehand by phone, and the reason for our request was acknowledged.
Despite this, we were tattooed in a space with large windows and insufficient privacy. While my partner was exposed and being tattooed, a man walked into the studio and was able to see him. I found this extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate, especially considering the placement of the tattoos had been discussed beforehand.
When I raised the privacy issue with the artist, I was told that she was working alone and therefore needed to keep the door open. What disappointed me most was that we didn't receive an apology or feel that our discomfort was genuinely acknowledged.
On top of this, my partner's tattoo faded considerably, so we contacted the studio about a touch-up. We were told to come back on 15 September. We travelled to the studio specifically for this, only to be told once we arrived that the tattoos weren't sufficiently healed yet and therefore couldn't be touched up. This could have been communicated before asking us to come in.
We paid 3,000 SEK in total. Between the lack of privacy during a vulnerable procedure, the way our concern was handled, the fading of the tattoo, and the unnecessary return journey, we were very disappointed with the overall experience.
