12th Planet Tattoo Company

I went into this shop on 8÷1÷15 to get a simple 2 – 2 ½ inch horseshoe tattoo with no color on the inside of my wrist. While one guy spent 5 minutes doing a sketch the «tattoo artist» named Silas was outside smoking and didn’t hear our conversation about how much this would cost… I was told by guy doing sketch around $ 40. When Silas came back inside he looked at sketch quickly then at me and told me he wanted $ 120!!! I know you get what you pay for BUT $ 120 for what I wanted??? I couldn’t run out of there fast enough!
I just called the shop to find out Silas’ name for this review and quickly ran my tattoo idea by woman that answered the phone… she estimated she would do it for $ 80. When I told her about the $ 120 quote yesterday and I was doing a review on Unilocal she stated she saw the sketch of the horseshoe I wanted and stated I wanted one as big as my palm and the $ 120 would be an accurate price.
Well…my simple horseshoe with no color was NOT as big as my palm… it was like I said 2 – 2 ½ inches as it was going on the inside of my wrist!
Anyway…moral of the story… there are 5 – 9 different tattoo shops in Sierra Vista that do good work… are clean/safe…have good reviews and references and will show you their past work/portfolios…check them out too!
I really feel like this young kid Silas was really trying to get over on me!
The owner of the shop I hear is named Mike… he should know of any issues such as this…
