View Askew Tattoo

I will never, ever recommend View Askew Tattoo to another human being. If they go out of business tomorrow, in my opinion, it will be far, far too late. I had ten tattoos upon my visit there recently, and was looking for number eleven. Eight of the tattoos I had were done by either Jason or Russell, and I have never had a single complaint about their work. In fact, even in my long absence, I have continued to recommend them as one of the best in the biz. Boy do I regret that now. They knew who I was when I walked in, but the greeting I received was not what I'd expected. Two other men came in same time as me, and they were greeted with enthusiasm and scheduled for a wall-stencil tattoo immediately. I, however, was told they'd get back to me by week's end, and since my tattoo was a custom design, I was willing to accept the wait. BUT they never called, and that was very nearly a month ago. I checked in at the two week mark and had to again resubmit my information on my design AND give them my number AND hear the same empty promise that they'd get back to me by week's end. I called twice the following week and no one returned my call. No, I would never recommend this sort of experience to anyone, friend or otherwise. This treatment is ridiculous though from what I've come to hear after the fact, I am not the only returning customer who has been snubbed. My suggestion to View Askew is that they step up their customer service because you can't run a business if you're going to treat your customers like crap. Do NOT go to View Askew if you're looking for treatment. Knowing them the way I used to, I feel weird even saying that, because these used to be two great guys. I don't know what happened but they're not the two artists I remember. I went elsewhere for my ink and got my difficult custom same day. Which is how the View Askew I remember would have done things back in the day. If you're looking for a good experience: don't go there. Find someone else.

I recently went to View Askew Tattoo to get a tattoo because I kept hearing how great their work was. I was very unimpressed. For starters, the scheduling was difficult; they claimed they couldn't do the tattoo for almost a week, but were just sitting around not doing anything when I walked in and when I left. I got the strong impression that they were trying to appear as though they were busy and booked when really they were not. When I went in to get the tattoo, I felt like I was rushed in and out and charged an EXORBITANT amount for the small butterfly that I got. He told me that the price was set by the hour, but he took numerous smoking breaks while he was tattooing me and counted this in the time I was paying for! I've shown the butterfly to several other shops in Winston-Salem and Greensboro and told them what I paid for it and I have literally been laughed at for paying so much for such a small poor quality tattoo. I'm really disappointed because everyone had told me how great View Askew was and my experience was the complete opposite.

would highly recommend jason and sherri to everbody, in fact i have had so many compliments about my tats, i make sure to let everyone know where and who did them. i love those guys.
