Myself and my 2 daughters decided to get matching tattoos while on vacation in Gulf Shores. After finding Next Level and discussing via Facebook messenger what were wanting, we visited on 04/08/2021 for our ink. Our tattoo artist had a picture waiting of what we all wanted and asked the area we wanted it. 2 of us got it on the wrist in the same area, and my other daughter elected to get it on her foot. Our artist never gave advice or suggestions on our locations, nor were aftercare instructions given. When filling out the questionnaire before receiving our ink, we checked the box NO that we had not received these instructions as well. When the lady checked us out, she told our artist to give us a pack of A&D ointment to use, but that was all. No big deal, we received our ink and it looked wonderful, AT FIRST! in about a week, after arriving home from our vacation, which is 8 hrs away from Gulf Shores, I contacted them once again through FB messenger bc my 2 daughters tattoos seemed to be fading drastically, however mine still looked good and dark. They told me that we were still healing so to give it a little more time, but to stop using the A&D ointment bc we were only suppose to use that for 3 days after, well that would've been nice to know when were to supposed to have received our aftercare instructions! So I let another few weeks pass and my daughters tattoos now look horrible. The one on the foot is barely even there, so I contacted them again through FB messenger and asked for a refund. I was told no refunds would be given but I could drive 8 hrs back down to their business (16 hrs round trip), and they would retrace it. I asked to speak with the shop owner about this, and was told that person was the shop owner and that he would not do anything about this, he was sorry that I wasn't happy with my service. I explained that a tattoo should be permanent and not fade almost completely away in 2-3 weeks, he could've cared less. So I have now not only wasted $140.00 ($60.00 for each tattoo and $20.00 tip) but now I have to pay again to have it retraced. BEWARE!!!
ISO best place to get a tattoo in Gulf Shores/Foley area........Best as in quality more so than cost. I'm not looking for "my cousin does them out of his trailer for $25" ;)
