Realism Artists Beautiful Shop Clean Friendly Super Professional

My husband and I drove 4 hours after researching realism artists. The shop is beautiful, clean and friendly. Ethan did a full day on my husband’s chest and then a full day on my forearm. Super professional and friendly! He took all my millions of ideas and made it into an amazing compilation! We cannot wait to schedule again!

Great Value Clean Space Talented Artist

Great place to get my first tattoo. Booked with Roman, and he exceeded my artistic expectations. He gave me lots of breaks during the color session, but that also meant that I was there for significantly longer than that quoted 2-3 hours. Price was the high end of quoted range, and I felt like it was a great value for what I got. Super clean space, too.

Poor Jewelry Fitting Lack of Information Difficult Healing

Got my nose pierced here. The process seemed to go smoothly but the jewelry never fit correctly in my nose. The screw was constantly hanging out of my nose which made it very difficult not to touch the piercing while it was healing. After four months, I decided to get my jewelry changed at a different store. The piercer there explained that each piercing needs to be adjusted to the clients nose (something that was never explained or done at Embassy). Wish I had gotten the original piercing done somewhere else so that healing would have been easier and I would have received more information about nose piercings in general.

Great Experience Patient Artist Thorough Work Highly Recommended Long Wait

I had a great experience with Brandon this week! He was patient, thorough, and took his time on a detailed arm piece that I got! HIGHLY recommend him. The entire experience was great. Anticipate some waiting so bring a book!

Rude Staff Overpriced

This isn’t about the tattoo price to be honest. I gave them a call to see if I could maybe walk in I asked very nicely a couple questions regarding how the shop works. I felt like the front desk lady was very rude and backhanded the way she was answering as if I should’ve known the answers. I come in regardless and try to get a spot for a tattoo maybe 4-5 inches. She ended up quoting it around 700$. While all of this I wanted to just step outside and maybe talk about it with my s/o and she was very rude once again repeating the first come first serve policy. I usually spend 5-600 on 4-5 inch tattoos so it wasn’t even just about the price like I said.

Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior Lost Deposit

Unbelievably poor customer service. Scheduled a tattoo and paid the deposit and the booker told me a different date than what he wrote on the card. Simple mistake, no simple answer. They called to inform me I was late and when I informed them of what happened, they asked if I could still get to the appointment. Despite the appointment being a half day, they wouldn't let me come an hour late because "the artist doesn't want to feel rushed." Ok, again, simple answer - I'll reschedule (even though when booked I was told the artist had the day cleared in case mine ran over). Sure, you can reschedule but you will need to put down another deposit - we are keeping the current one. So wait, you all made a mistake, then you wouldn't let me be seen an hour late for a half day appointment, now you want to keep my deposit and offer a walk in? At this point, I wouldn't trust the shop to tattoo me even if they tried to fix this mess. I've been tattooed by the best, this shop is far, far from it. Don't waste your time or money.

Expensive Poor Customer Service Refund Issues

Won't tattoo anything under $300 which is absolutely unheard of to me. They refuse to give any $300 deposit back despite the deposit being put down during a pandemic, saying you are laid off, or cannot pay anything more than $300. They only care about the money and are money hungry. Most of the reviews say how rude the receptionist is too and they don't care.

Long Wait Time Poor Quality

Went for the Friday the 13th flash sale. Obviously it’s not their fault that the line was so long, but I can’t believe I waited 5 hours for a 1 inch tattoo where the lines don’t even connect or are overdrawn. They need to make a better system to accommodate their demand. All of the people were nice though, I hope to see something I like there and give them another chance. Wouldn’t come back for a flash tattoo, highly discourage it.

Great Service Talented Artist Worth the Wait

I got my first tattoo here, Roman was my artist and he was incredible. He answered all my questions and didn't rush me while I was making decisions about the design and the placement. When we began he told me to take deep breaths and eased me into it. I am in love with the result! Setting up the appointment was a bit of a hassle because they are busy but totally worth it. I will absolutely be coming back!

Poor Communication Bad Experience Unprofessional

I don't usually leave reviews but I wanted to warn other customers of the problems they will run into with Embassy. I requested a design online that specifically called for customized font (which I provided an example of). Despite requesting a particular artist, I was told that I should come in for a walk-in appointment, and not knowing much about the process, I agreed. The day of, I called ahead to let the place know I would be arriving at 6. When I got there, they told me I had to wait until 7. I come back at 7 and was told that the "guest artist" wouldn't be available until 8. This should have been my first red flag but I decided to give the place a chance. When 8 rolls around, the artist shows up with a few samples of computer generated font that didn't match my example image at all. I was confused because I thought they would be able to draw it out (it isn't a complicated font). The receptionist proceeded to try to communicate my request to the artist through Google Translate because he didn't speak English. He said he would create a sketch and came back 20 minutes later with a design that omitted a very key font detail I had asked for (and was frankly just not great). It's obvious the Google Translation was not doing the job. The receptionist tried to rope in another tattoo artist who told me that they do not do customized font for walk-ins. I still cannot fathom why they couldn't let me know earlier or why they booked me for a walk-in in the first place. In between the inattentiveness, disorganization, and communication barriers, for a terrible experience that cost me 2 and a half hours, I would not recommend Embassy. However, if you choose to get a tattoo here, please check and double-check your request to make sure they actually understand what you want. I would also suggest to forgo the walk-in appointments for appointments with specific artists.
