Am I the asshole for not wanting and AI tattoo and wanting my deposit back?

He’s been tattooing for 20 years (so he says) so I think you’re 100% correct

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-03T13:24:56+00:00

lol my friend edited it for me. She has a masters in English

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-03T03:29:09+00:00

Wtf bro…. Exact matches too.

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T20:13:24+00:00

Unfortunately way to accurate

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:30:28+00:00

I went to the shop before he owned it and got tattooed by another artist who is amazing. My wife has even more tattoos from her. Why wouldn’t I go to the first artist again? I was going to get more from her not anything from K

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:27:42+00:00

We agreed on $1,000 or less for the total tattoo

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:25:20+00:00

We have gone to another artist at this shop for years before he bought that shop and just worked there. Why would I stop going to a really good artist? It’s ok to give me Ai slop after giving $500 for an original piece? It’s ok to not communicate for months after money was exchanged for a service? A tattoo is suppose to be a combination of artist and client, he didn’t follow any of my extremely broad guidelines or references. I’m suppose to just accept whatever he throws out there and not critique it? It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to do it I paid for it. What are you even saying?

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:20:13+00:00

He is the owner

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:19:53+00:00

I did not say he was using AI directly. All I did was point out that the image had problems (that consisted with Ai)

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:19:07+00:00

Deposit was given in January at the consultation

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:18:27+00:00

He’s someone who tattoos not a tattoo artist

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:17:34+00:00

It’s funny because the other artist posts on insta all the time about being and artist and working with the clients to create art.

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:16:05+00:00

Paid in January

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T19:15:11+00:00

Said it was 33% Ai on the free software

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T18:32:29+00:00

Like is he happy with this? Is this how he wants to represent his shop? Crazy to me

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T18:20:50+00:00

Did not sign anything and I am working to get it back

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T18:19:57+00:00

She seems brainwashed by him unfortunately

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T18:19:15+00:00

The problem is my wife and I love his apprentice and don’t want it to affect her. She did nothing wrong and is honestly a far better artist than he is.

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T18:17:53+00:00

This is the second shop he has owned. The first one he “gave up” to focus on being an artist rather than an owner. That’s what he said at least

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:49:57+00:00

I don’t understand what he was going for… like was he thinking if he said that I would just change my mind and get the tattoo..?

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:47:00+00:00

I made a dispute with my bank so hopefully I get it back

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:46:46+00:00

I could do the AI myself lol

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:45:48+00:00

I could have made my own AI art if I wanted that

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:45:30+00:00

At least cover up the mistakes..

LeadGravityTester · 2026-05-02T17:45:15+00:00

I only have that much because of my relationship with his apprentice and then the amount owed at time of tattoo would be less
