![]() I literally stood there for another couple minutes thinking to myself 'WTF just happened?' So I walked back out to my car, walking right by him and her, and still not a single word was said, in fact he stared at me like I had done something wrong. ![]() I waited for them to break and when she asked to go smoke, I was thinking 'thank god, now he will talk to me about the work I'm wanting to have done.' BUT NOPE, INSTEAD HE WALKED RIGHT BY ME AND WENT TO SMOKE WITH HER. The other 'artist' was tattooing an outline of a cat on some chick's arm. One artist was in the back drawing, and that was fine. I went in there wanting to finish up a sleeve and stood there for 30mins and NOT one person spoke to me. I am very disappointed and the terms ""professional and Next Generation will not be used in the same sentence by me. I should have asked for my money and photocopy back, but I just left. I said I'd have to reschedule, but I don't know what day yet as my schedule changes slightly at one of my jobs. After a 20 mile round trip, with gas prices as they are and my appointment holding fee, I'm out $26.50, and have nothing to show for it. Things happen, I am aware, but as I said before, I have very limited free time. Very frustrated! I scheduled what works for me, and I would hope an accomplished artist would know how long it takes to do his work and schedule accordingly. If we had started on time, maybe I could have been 1/2 an hour late picking up my grandson from the sitter, but I now do not have enough time. I ask if he thinks he will be done by 6, and he still has to draw it up and says it will take 1 1/2-2 hours. So I wait, and wait, and wait, now it's half an hour past my appointment time and he is still working on the previous appointment. I informed them that I had left my photocopy with them and Lucas says""I m sure he has it on his wall"", ummmreally? Oh well, I think, busy shop. Billy seemed surprised he had an appointment at 4:30 and Lucas nor Billy knew what my tattoo was supposed to be. When I arrived no one knew who I was, why I was there or who my appointment was with after I told them my name. ![]() We set an appointment, I paid $20 to hold my appointment, and showed up early for my appointment. I do not have a lot of free time, but wanted to get a tattoo that was meaningful to me and looked good while covering up the one that I am not happy with. I work 2 jobs, go to school and raise my 5 year old grandson. We had a fairly involved conversation and he showed my ideas to Billy who must have answered in the affirmative as we then began discussing price, time and looking for a day that would work for both of us. I drove the 10 miles out to the shop, Billy was busy so I explained what I wanted and showed the tattoo to be covered up to Lucas. Three weeks ago I called to find out the best way to have work done, was directed to come by the facility and speak with Billy and set up an appointment. I hope you enjoy Ink Ink as much as I loved putting it together.I work with someone who highly recommended Next Generation, in particular Billy. I love being an artist, an entrepreneur, a Mom, and a teacher. And my favorite TV shows are Monk and Seinfeld. Some fun facts about me, My favorite color is Yellow (which you can see speckled throughout my store), I have 2 adorable kiddos, I enjoy rock climbing, knitting, and rollarskating when I can. I do large scale realism, being sleeves, legs, backs, etc. After years of doing a little bit of every kind of tattooing, I started only studying color about 3 years ago and never looked back! I do have an extremely long wait to get on my books, and the best way to get an appointment with me is to follow my instagram to see when I’m opening my books again. As much as I adore tattooing, I truly enjoy training and teaching this amazing team I have! There is no “I” in “team” is my motto. I have been tattooing since I was 17 here in Springfield, MO. Thank you for visiting our page! I appreciate everyone’s support in our dream jobs! I am Kelsey, and I started this store in 2013 and so proud of everything we have grown into!
