Yep. You read that right. I can now say I've been kicked out of a tattoo parlor on my ear.
I took my daughter to Argus Tattoo in Hilliard Ohio today to get her nose pierced for her 15th birthday. We walked into the joint where we were "greeted" by a meanie butt. You know what I mean - someone who is obviously not a happy kinda person.
I told him we wanted to get Hannah's nose pierced and he handed us some paperwork to fill out. I attempt to do what I've always done to help meanie butts smile and use a bit of some good wit and humor.
The meanie butt had the words GAME OVER tattooed on his fingers. As we were filling out the paperwork, I said....
"Please tell me you at least got the high score before the game was over."
Instead of smiling, meanie butt glared at me. He takes my drivers license and Hannah's birth certificate back to copy and came back a few moments later to announce he was not going to pierce her.
I asked why and he says, "I don't like your condescending attitude. You need to leave my store."
I was stunned. With all this said, I told meanie butt from Argus Tattoo in Hilliard Ohio that I would be sure to tell all my friends how I was treated in this tattoo parlor. He said that was fine. So...here's the question.....
Is it fair for a WEB MARKETER to tell all her friends how poorly she was treated at Argus Tattoo in Hilliard Ohio? What do you think?
Regardless, when all was said and done I was glad that someone that has obvious anger issues didn't come near my child with a needle AND we found a great tattoo parlor who pierced her nose. THE COLUMBUS TATTOO COMPANY did a fabulous job and even welcomed my sense of humor. In my opinion, if you live in Hilliard Ohio and want a tattoo or piercing, TAKE THE DRIVE to The Columbus Tattoo Company and tell them Christy sent you. *wink*
Oh and if you happen to see the dude from Argus Tattoo, tell him he didn't get the high score. *grin*

Staying within the tattoo theme...
I definitely think you deserve your pound of flesh. What transpired was uncalled for.
Unfortunately, I think the publicity you generate, however negative, is still publicity for the offending shop and they don't deserve even a single new customer.
My advice would be to totally play up how great your experience was at the second place and not even give the name of the place that sucked.
Good point Zap.
I think I like that idea.
your crazy! i told all my friends what happened... no one from my crew will be going there! And sarah says she's gunna spread the word too..
The Columbus Tattoo Company is def. the place to go.
wow you made it on google hahahha
I think you should trash 'em too.
I had someone tell me they thought I was a tatoo artist... party like a rockstar
GAME BEGUN
'game over' is so overused. you'd think he'd have more of an imagination. at least do GAME KAPUT
probably wasn't smart enough to get a college education and ended up becoming an apprentice with his crack whore buddy. seems like the norm :)
i feel like this comment is mean to mr. game over
so... mission accomplished
Wow, you do have the right to vent, he's an ass, you don't treat customers like that.
Holy Shit, The momma did it
It is me joel, the piercer that did your daughters nostril. And just like you said "2 or 3 months from now you can find me on google spreading the word" and low and behold i woke up today curious to see if it was true and i found you. i dont know if any will currently read this being that no coments past November have been displayed, but i thought id give it a shot.
again thanks for your humor and comming to see me at Cols Tattoo. Sadly i have ended my reign as a piercer but your story was one to go out on
LOL Joel. It took me only days instead of months. ; )
No more piercing for you?
