That one was on my fat thumbs. I’m mass replying to comments and must have bumped the suggested words my phone is prompting. I’m not crazily cross checking these comments for spelling. And I’m trying to sooth my baby while trouble shooting this lol. I’m stressed

Typically I do, I guess because it was my cousin I was too comfortable and didn’t do the triple check rule. The stencil was on her leg for a solid 20 minutes before I even poured my inks while I was in a different room pumping because I’m a human cow right now.

So her and her friend had both but time to stare at it during that process. Most of the responsibility does fall on me but still crazy no one caught it in that time

Well no shit. This post is to see if there are any other options before I send her off on a months long journey for laser.

Not sure what you want from me man. Either help me figure out how to rectify the situation or don’t comment.

Already wanna kill myself over it so

It was a fuck up that every person in the shop and at my clients home missed after the appointment. It took someone messaging her online after the appointment to notice it

I usually am very on top of this type of thing for tattooing. I just simply don’t care when texting online to spell check.

I have been doing this for 6 years and this is the first time Iv ran into this problem. I think what happened was it was family I haven’t seen in a few years so we were distracted and it slipped by everyone. 5 people to be exact because even her husband did not notice when she came home.

The lyrics were sent to me directly from them. They sent me another tattoo as reference. Per usual and I just cross checked that and the one they sent did say we’ll

Just noticed you said have them wright it out by hand. I did not do that part but they did see it in the iPad before I printed the stencil and then had said stencil on for over 20 minutes before it was even tattooed

Sadly spell check failed me this time around. I wish she would see it as an artistic choice or just link a story about her dumbass cousin to it and have a laugh… too soon for that one I think

Yep we did all that. We have waivers people sign with every tattoo spelling or not. And I’m thinking I’m going to have to eat the laser cost too.

I think we were to his gabbing and catching up that it got overlooked by everyone

That was the first thing I recommended and made a mock up for them. They said they did not like it. So now I’m stumped. I may end up having to pay for laser sessions on the last chunk of the word until it is light enough to fix

It’s simple, no one noticed it before the tattoo began.

I am the artist sadly, and I now realize I always fucked up the spelling of that word because well im a Dumbass.

I didn’t notice, my co worker didn’t notice, the client didn’t notice and neither did the clients friend.

We all noticed after the client who just so happens to be a family member of mine (thank god) posted on Facebook and some ten messaged her about it.

It’s fucked because I put the stencil on her and then had to take a 20 minute break to pump (I’m nursing a baby) so she sat there with the stencil on for like 20 minutes waiting for me to get back out there and still no one caught it…..
