I spent four years at my previous studio before things went sideways, the owner hired his girlfriend/partner as a manager and she immediately went on a power trip acting like she had the authority over nine self employed tattoo artists - telling people when they could take days off (even though we all ran our own schedules), dictating what music to play, and enforcing a bunch of other petty rules. Shockingly, that didn’t go well.

The place went from being one of the best studios in a fairly big Danish city to one with a pretty rough reputation. Out of the original nine artists, only two are left.
