Cat Tattoo Co

I got my tattoo at Cat Tattoo by Jeff Ensminger and he screwed it up right from the beginning. First of all he didn't listen to a word I said when I was describing what I wanted. This was a very large peice and I was looking for someone with experience (like he said he had on the shops website). Come to find out he only has 3 yrs experience as he was putting the tat on me. When the tattoo was finished I noticed lots of mistakes and the colors were all wrong and blending together. No one can tell what it's supposed to be. The whole thing looks like shit and I paid over $1000 and several hours getting it done. Now it looks like I'm gonna spend another load of money getting this crap removed from my body. There are plenty of good tattoo artists in the DFW area, but he isn't one of them. If you have money to burn go to him, otherwise find a real tattoo artist.

I got tattooed by Jeff Ensminger (www.jeffennsminger.com) from Cat Tattoo Company. He did an outstanding job, carried good conversation, and made me feel comfortable. If anyone is planning on getting a large tattoo or one that requires lots of detail, I recommend this man hands down.

I went up to Cat Tattoo on Friday night to drop off a deposit for a time slot for Saturday. When we got there my friend decided to pierce her nose. The piercer was super nice, and answered all of her questions professionally.

Saturday I got there for my new tattoo and the work was FANTASTIC! I'm always nervous, as you should be, letting someone permanently alter my body. But it was very comforting knowing how much experience he had, and he did a better job than I imagined could be done. I'm going back in 2 weeks to get the rest of my tat!

Morale: If you're looking for an original piece from a talented artist, I'd definitely check out this shop.

Also, if you're getting pierced...it's gonna hurt to some extent...that's really common sense!

I went there to get a piercing, and from the beginning, the piercer was rude.I asked if it would hurt, and her reply was, "You of all people know better than to ask that. Don't act like a child, I don't wanna waste my day."

Then she called me stupid for piercing myself. None of the ones I did were ever crooked or infected. The one she did is swollen and oozing still after 5 months, and it's totally crooked.

I asked for my money back, and she blamed it on the way my body healed. Then I confronted the manager, and he also blamed it on my body. IT WAS CROOKED TO BEGIN WITH!

Then I criticized one tattoo the owner had done, and replied with "But he still looks better than that nose you have."

PROS: clean...
CONS: Rudest staff.
