There are numerous concerning aspects about Eric's conduct as an artist. They have shown a pattern of dishonesty, taking deposits for appointments and then repeatedly canceling them or causing delays until clients grow weary. Moving between multiple shops, changing contact numbers, and failing to deliver on paid designs are just some of the issues I've personally encountered over the past two years. I paid $1200 for a design that remains unfinished, with Eric demanding additional funds before completing it. This prolonged ordeal has involved interactions with other dissatisfied customers who are owed money for similar reasons. Many individuals are reluctant to speak out due to Eric's artistic prowess, but the truth must be exposed. Reports suggest they have substance abuse problems, lack a valid driver's license, and are embroiled in personal dramas that spill over into their professional commitments. Recent updates indicate that they have been operating without a tattooing license for over seven months. Caution is advised. I cannot in good conscience recommend them or their establishment to anyone. It's disheartening because I believe in their artistic potential and sincerely hope they can rectify their situation and embrace honesty in their dealings.
