Let me first say I have 7 tats and 1 piercing from other shops, so I do understand how the process works and what constitutes good business.
I visited Steadfast by Duval almost 4 weeks ago after discussing my needs with the owner via Myspace. When I went to the shop he wasn't there, and the guy working there said he didn't know anything about their even having a Myspace, and he couldn't order jewelry for me or help me. He also informed me that the owner only works until five, so i'd have to visit during work hours.
Since then I've visited twice more, both in the middle of the day, and both times after conversations with the owner on Myspace.
On both of those occasions, the owner wasnt there, and I was told no one knew anything about my jewelry, nor could they help me unless i came back when he was there.
They were rude to me, and deliberately less than helpful, and for that I decided to take my business elsewhere, and so should you.
Pros: four walls and a ceiling
Cons: deadbeats sitting on the couch look disgusted with you for asking to do business
