Absolutely obsessed with the piece Jai created for me. It’s bold, feminine, dark, and exactly the vibe I wanted. He has an incredible eye for placement and how the tattoo flows with the body instead of just putting a design on the skin. I’ve gotten so many compliments already, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with how it turned out

I went to Jai for my first tattoo and he knocked it out of the park with this. He really got me what I was looking for and made it even better he took his time with the project instead of rushing it and made sure it looked the best. The whole experience was super good

I came to Jai with a tattoo that needed a cover up. I was told by other artists that it was impossible or that I’d need to get laser removal first. Jai made it possible and made it more amazing than I could imagine! He does amazing work, makes sure you’re comfortable, and always does check ins after your tattoo! I…

Had to go through the reviews, because I wanted to see if I was the only one who felt this place was Unwelcoming and low and behold I freaking wasn't. I stopped into this place because I wanted to see about piercing options available and it damn near was like I was invisible or some shït & that was so rude. I just politely got up, walked out, and came straight to the reviews, because why do certain people get into the customer service industry with No customer service skills🤦🏾♀️ Oh And I didn't even get to inquire about what I went in there for 🙄

Unwelcoming and serviced/ greeted another couple before me after seeing them walk in after me and also apologized to them for whatever reason
Response from the owner · 4 months ago
Hi Shalonte, we're sorry your experience felt unwelcoming.
Our piercer did acknowledge and speak with you upon arrival while also assisting scheduled clients who had appointments at that time. After checking with the artists, unfortunately we did not have availability to accommodate additional walk-in tattoos during that moment.
We always try our best to assist everyone respectfully, even during busy periods, and we apologize if the interaction came across differently than intended. We appreciate the feedback and wish you the best.

After finding Jai online I reached out and sent a challenging concept for a memorial tattoo and asked if he would consider looking at it, had many other artists turn me down.
He was amazing! He took the piece very seriously and said he would be honored. Jai was able to turn our idea into exactly what we didn’t know we wanted. My son and I got matching tattoos, we both absolutely love them and we get so many compliments. I will always recommend Planet Artz for the customer experience, the process, and amazing sanitary conditions.
