True To You Tattoo

Not happy with my experience at all. Wanted a tattoo for my birthday. Artist had about 8 months to work on it. Left there with my tattoo no where near what I wanted. Tried to reach out to the artist to express my concerns and figure something out professionally, got one response and then ignored. Not happy with how my tattoo healed, got a nasty blister that left a scar, quote was very far off, and I was told to wait in the lobby while he set up. I didn’t even see him open the needles! I should have walked out, but I was so excited on my birthday that I was blinded to the bad idea.The only response I got he essentially said I agreed to the design beforehand. All I saw was the stencil, I’m not a professional, but I wasn’t sure if you needed a stencil for a black out tattoo the turns into dead branches.If Jarod or the owner is reading this, I am a reasonable guy and we can even still professionally work something out.UPDATE - reached out to owner. Got two text back then ignored. Unprofessional to the maximum. Will not be returning here.

John at TTYT is the real deal. He has done an entire sleeve from wrist to shoulder for me and the entire experience has been amazing. not only is he just a genuinely nice guy who’s easy to be around, he can DRAW like a beast, he is an actual artist, and his technical tattoo work is top notch. His outlines are dark and solid, his shading heals deep and true, and I know this is subjective, but his tattoos just hurt less (both when getting them and while healing).Half of my sleeve he freehand drew right on my arm, and those have all needed up being my favorite parts and elements.Don’t hesitate to reach out to him and see if his style and vibe is a good match for you 🤘🏻

The best tattoo artist and shop in town. I have gone back for three separate tattoos. The shop is always clean. John is always professional and is great at working with clients on designs.

Best artist in town. John is always respectful of your time and takes his work very seriously. Knocks it out of the park every time with his ability and creativity. The only artist I’ll go to!

The owner John Elston has ten years of experience creating and tattooing custom designs. This is a great space in downtown Lafayette for professional results. Don’t wait, book now!

Had to cut my tattoo short after 20 minutes because this guy was on pills or drunk and kept tattooing outside the stencil, ended up having to get it fixed by another shop. have yet to receive a refund either

John is super professional and easy to work with! His space is cool and clean. Highly recommend, go get tattooed!
