Eric has done 2 beautiful pieces on me. He was one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen. I even called him a friend for over a decade. As of 2024, this has unfortunately ended. To make a really long story short. He took my deposit, asked for two extra advances due to personal things going on, which I regrettably obliged because I wanted to be kind. He then didn’t show up for our scheduled tattoo appointment. He knew how excited I was for this tattoo and how many arrangements had to happen in order to be able to make this appointment. I was devastated. I then kindly asked for a partial refund (told him he could keep $250 as I wouldn’t be showing up for the 2nd day of our scheduled session due to his no show). I thought that was fair. He declined to return my partial refund. I told him if he didn’t return my money, I’d take him to court for small claims/fraud. Which I did. And I won. HES A SCAM ARTIST. HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND BOUNCE. Come to find out…he’s done this to HUNDREDS of us. If you’re thinking of getting a tattoo done by him…JUST DONT.

Eric is an amazing artist and does amazing work. I did two sessions with him and he exceeded my expectations. He was great to work with as well. If I could leave him 10 stars I would. I will flat out say you get what you pay for. There’s a reason his books are full and he has a waiting list.

I just want to preface at the beginning that Eric is absolutely one of the best artists in the area. His work is phenomenal, but the compliments sadly end there. While he is one of the most talented artists I’ve seen, he is also one of the most unreliable artists I’ve heard of. From starting hours after our scheduled time, to not having his business in order to where he had no idea when our appointment was. To where putting a down payment of two hours of work, to then being told the price increases days before the appointment. The guy has to pay bills I understand but if he had his stuff in order, my original appointment would have been 200 an hour and not 5 months later now at 250. I have given Eric about 5k of my money knowing he has done great work, but after 5k my sleeve isn’t even done. I’ve heard a lot of stories of people being scammed out of money and I’ve heard there is also the makings of a class action against him. There are people slowly coming out in showing what kind of business he actually runs. He’s be one of the best artists in the country if he was reliable. But anyone thinking about getting a tattoo, I would look elsewhere. It’s really a shame. I know I am not going to go back to get my sleeve done just because of the hassle it is. The issues people have with him spending deposits and holding them for months I don’t think is even legal. I’ve also been told he allegedly doesn’t have a tattooing license as of now. Again it’s a shame but I HIGHLY recommend people going elsewhere for their tattoo, at least until he gets his business in order.

Where do I even start.... Eric is a dishonest artist. He will take your deposit money for appointments and then cancel them until eternity or until youre sick of waiting. Or move shops, change phone numbers, etc. I have seen him at 4 different locations in the last 2 years. I also paid him for a design ($1200), and he never finished the design or sent it to me and refuses to unless I send him more money. Im not falling for it again. This has been a 2 year process with him. During this time, I have spoken to 10-12 other customers who he owes money for the same reasons. Most people are hoping he will come through because he is a good artist (he has unfortunately started one tattoo on me), so people are scared to leave reviews. I was too, but he has to be revealed. He also has a drug problem, no drivers license and constant drama that bleeds into his professional life. I wouldnt be surprised if hes not actually licensed either (update: 2.21.24 he is not licensed to tattoo and hasnt been for 7+ months) Beware. I would not recommend him or his shop to anyone. Its a real bummer because as an artist I think he has a ton of potential and I wish he got his life together and could be honest.

This dude is beyond talented, but a horrible person. He will attempt to steal your deposit money as he tried to do to me. I have the Venmo receipts to prove it. He made the right decision and refunded my money, he knew I was about to pay him an unannounced visit to get my money back. The only good decision hes ever made.

I also have been taken for 500$ by Eric and have nothing to show for in addition to waiting a whole year for the appointment.Completely unprofessional,not only does he not even follow his own website policies, he had the audacity to have me pick him for my 1st appointment. Unless you are willing to spend thousands on one piece do not waste you time. I also can attest that his personal life is unsavory and he is more then willing to tell anyone who will listen about it and then attempt to manipulate you into giving him more cash. He can threaten harassment about bad reviews but couldnt afford a lawyer if he wanted too which is the only reason I havent wasted my time paying my lawyer to come for him. If there is any group that is filing charges I would love to be a part of that. I have screenshots of every conversation down to the first contact. Such a shame that talent is wasted on someone with his lifestyle that is completely ok with taking anyones money and giving nothing in return much less a refund. Its clear he needs the money more then I did so God bless.

Horrible business. Eric is very pushy and figures out very clever ways to juice more money out of you, while giving you little or no actual tattoo time. He has screwed so many people, that many of us have decided to ban together and leave negative reviews FINALLY. There is a group of angry customers that will be filing a claim against him. Avoid working with him at all costs.

Do NOT work or deal with this shop or its owner Eric. He is a con artist that will steal THOUSANDS of dollars and then bail on appointments and never refund. I have heard this from many other sources as well as my own experience. This shop should be shut down.

I live nearby, but Ive never gone in. I just want to say that this establishment emits an oder.

I love my tattoo—Amazing detail, and such a talented artist!

Eric doesn’t finish designs after charging people a disgusting amount of money for them. I don’t understand how a business can even operate with employees like this let alone the OWNER stealing money from customers.

Eric is a total scam artist. Stealing peoples hard earned money for something he cannot or will not provide. 10/10 DO NOT recommend

This place is a total scam, take your hard earned money somewhere else! Youll never see your designs finished hear from the artist once you pay your deposit. Be warned people!!!!

Watch out for this guy. He will take your money and not give you your tattoo, design, or time of day. Con artist!

Steals deposit money, constantly cancels appointments and never comes through on commitments

Scam artist not a tattoo artist

Eric is a crazy talented artist!

Unprofessional and immature when dealing with clients
