My Experience at Noble Jackals Tattoo in Austin, TX
Whitney Lockner, also known as Whitney Creep, was the tattoo artist who performed my work. During my experience, I was subjected to bullying by her and her former business partner, Jordan Schwartz & Aaron Yuhas.
**To clarify, Aaron Yuhas was aware of the situation but did not personally participate in the bullying.Details of My Experience:Tattoos were placed in areas I felt were sexualized without my consent (see photos).I was left with scarring following the tattoo work (see photos).There were multiple small mistakes in the tattoo work (see photos).During one of my sessions, individuals I understood to be friends of Jordan entered the studio and gathered around to look at my tattoos. After I left that evening, I later learned that they had laughed and made fun of me.I frequently heard Whitney and her business partners speak negatively about clients while I was present.On one occasion, I placed a camera on my handbag. The footage appeared to show Whitney and Jordan placing something in my coffee while I was in the restroom. Later that evening, I felt sick.At one point, I made the comment that “dogs are easier to care for than cats.” Whitney and Aaron told me I needed to watch what I said or Whitney might do something negative to my tattoo.Whitney ran the tattoo needle over already raw areas after the tattoo work had been completed.I specifically asked Whitney not to place a tattoo over my shoulder due to employment concerns. Despite this request, a tattoo was placed there anyway, and she laughed about it.In reference to Photos 1 and 1a: I experienced sexual harassment from an individual at my local grocery store, which is part of a major grocery chain. Human Resources contacted me regarding the incidents, and the individual involved was subsequently terminated. During the interactions, he specifically referenced this tattoo.
I posted two reviews describing my experience—one on Google and one on Yelp—however both were removed from those platforms. Since that time, Whitney Lockner, also known as Whitney Creep, has moved to another tattoo studio in Austin, Texas. I attempted to resolve the situation by offering either a negotiated refund or the option for me to share my experience publicly. These attempts to resolve the matter were ignored.
I can be contacted at: [email protected] if they change their minds.
I will continue updating this review with additional details as time permits.
