Had a tattoo from Marek recently. I had followed him for like 3 years and loved his work. Filled out the form and did all the pictures he asked. Got to the appointment and he not only didn’t have any idea what I wanted but said he wouldn’t do what I was asking for but some of it. So I moved forward and showed him a couple pics of what I was looking for. Seemed to understand and did a rough sketch on my arm that looked decent. Finished the tattoo and it looked nothing like what I had showed him. Also was quite rude and honestly just not personable. If I had been thinking clearer and not invested so much time following him and trusting I would like his work, I would not have moved forward. The whole appointment felt very rushed and honestly am planning to have it removed which sucks after spending way too much on this. Be very careful, I really feel like he only cares about the tats he posts on insta and have read multiple reviews now after the fact of people having similar experiences!
Rushed, arrogant, and unprofessional. He has tons of beautiful animal portraits on his instagram, so I booked one at his shop in nashville. He spent all of 30 minutes on a 3x3inch animal portrait that looks lumpy and ugly, nothing like his posts online. Treated me like I wasn't worthy of his time or talent, didn't seem to care if I liked the tattoo or not. Didn't even offer aftercare. Seems to only care about cranking out the same botanicals and will only try hard if you fit his profile of pretty, white woman he can post on his instagram. I hate the tattoo I got and paid almost $700 for it and regret it every day. Don’t go to him if you have any standards at all. What a creep
