Worst experience at a parlor

[MothersInk17]

One day I was scheduled in to start a saber toothed tiger on my back.. Just minutes into starting the work some joker busts into the joint and waves around a shot gun and yells.. "everybody get down on your knee's." There were no hero's there that day and everyone complied. As I was on my knees with $500.00 cash in my left jean pocket I thought: maybe I could slip the bills in my shoe real quick (If the guy looks away) he took his eyes off me for a few seconds as he looked towards the back of the parlor, but Couldn't do it. I froze thinking he may just kill me if I get caught, then he took the owners money, my money and the two artists money and dashed out the door jumping into an old orange hatchback. He got away with $2,500.00 total. I had to sit there for hours talking to cops. After that the artist wanted to go home and no work was done that night. Worst experience of my life.

The shop owner should have given you some kind of shop credit or something, that sounded hectic.

Whooo! That's hell! Was the guy ever caught? Did you ever get the tattoo? Did the artist give you store credit?! That's hectic. Im sorry that happened to you....

[MthruF]

Shouldnt the shops insurance write you a check for that?

[sinchyld]

Only tattoo parlor I have heard of where the shop owner doesnt have a gun of their own waiting for that to happen.

I think having a gun would be beneficial, if they don't already. Maybe even having a panic button, and doors that have to be buzzed in or out. This is crazy. I have never seen or heard this happen.

[StarGee]

Yeah he would have killed you if you tried stealing the money back and really that aint worth it. For the future stay the hell away from that place

[cheechee]

This is intense! I can't believe something like this happened!! OMG!

[Beaumontsis]

Even if the owner did have a gun, the guy had a shotgun! I wouldn't have tried anything either.

I am so glad you are okay and nothing happened. I would have straight sh*t myself. This story just blew my mind. Thank goodness no one was hurt physically
