Tribute Tattoo Parlor

Critical: Professionalism, PunctualityServices where not performed. I had a consultation with Matthew Hockaday in January 2021. I gave him an 80 dollar deposit for the drawing of a tattoo. I also gave him a 180 dollar deposit for my initial session. He scheduled me for May 14th. I called to confirm the appointment. I never got a call back until the day before. He cancelled on me. He asked if we could started on our 2nd scheduled session. I told him yes. Once again I called 3 days prior to the session to confirm. Matthew finally reached out the day before and asked to do the tattoo on the following day. I exclaimed that I had to work. This is why we scheduled the original dates to begin with. I expressed that I felt put off. I never got to see a rough copy of my tattoo. He was not responsive about my concern. I kindly asked for a refund. I made it very clear that there where no hard feelings. He never gave me any type of refund. He sent me a snarky text stating that he spent 7 hours drawing my tattoo. He was not going to not get paid for it. Well, I never saw the drawing. I don’t know if he actually did it to vegin with, as he had ignored my calls and texts. In closing, Matthew stole $260 from me. I sure am glad that I didn’t pay for the whole tattoo up front. Beware, his schedule is convenient for him. Not his loyal customers. PS I have 2 tattoos from him over the years. I’ve always been a follower. Truly upsetting.Services where not performed. I had a consultation with Matthew Hockaday in January 2021. I gave him an 80 dollar deposit for the drawing of a tattoo.
