Following my recent online interaction with Derek at Black Palm, I cannot in good conscience endorse this establishment. What should have been a straightforward inquiry for a tattoo quote devolved into an unprofessional and hostile exchange. Since I admired Derek's work, I inquired about the cost of a tattoo, only to be informed that I needed to make a deposit via Zelle, an option I couldn't use. When I asked about alternative payment methods, he suggested, "Can a friend send it for you?" – a proposition that made me uncomfortable.
I informed him that I'd get back to him. In response, he retorted, "Wanted to book, and now suddenly you don't, lol," and, "Artists don't appreciate being approached only to shop for prices." I clarified that my intention was never to be disrespectful, to which he commented, "...Just wanted to book a date and time, then deposit, and now you don't want to book, lol. Just funny."
I've never encountered such a response before, and I find it profoundly disrespectful. Perhaps improving his customer service skills would benefit him in the long run, but then again, he may prefer this disrespectful approach.
