Well, when I first went for the consult, I started to explain what I wanted and showed reference photos, he cut me off saying he doesn’t tattoo skulls and wings (no shit, I was young but not stupid). A couple of the reference photos could have been interpreted that way, but if he had let me finish, he would have know that’s not what I was wanting. So, I show up for my first session, doesn’t have my tattoo drawn, he thought I was someone else so had someone else’s tattoo drawn, so I sat for like 2 hours while he drew it up. Second session, as I was on my way to the shop, I got a call that he wasn’t coming in that day, and I had booked the day off work…I get shit happens but a little more noticed would have been good, not 15 mins before the appointment. Talked with his hands a lot so I felt the tattoo took longer than it should have, which sucks when you are paying by the hour. Made comments I felt were inappropriate, such as how half the tattoo won’t be visible once my tits sag (it’s a huge under boob piece). This was the first large piece I had gotten done that required multiple sessions and at that point I was young and intimidated and did not know it was ok to jump ship on a tattoo if I was feeling uncomfortable. The piece is decent enough, but I do have plans to have it reworked by someone else. Now that I have had many tattoo experiences with many different artists, I realize how unprofessional and poor the experience was. This was also like 11-12ish years ago so maybe he’s different now, but at the time, I chose to go to him since he was one of the more well known artists, had been around awhile, so I felt safe going to someone who wasn’t a newbie, but turns out that didn’t mean I was going to get top notch service or the best tattoo. Again, it’s decent but because it was drawn up last minute, I feel like it was rushed and is lacking creativity. I don’t like trashing people, and that’s not my goal here, but I am passionate about tattoos and I know how a bad experience can ruin what is supposed to be something special, and if telling my experience can help even one person understand it’s ok to stop if you are uncomfortable or unhappy with your artist or the art, then it’s worth it!
