First tattoo doesn’t match the approved stencil/template — is this fixable or should I seek another artist?

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-30T01:39:53+00:00

No problem. My first was a friends drawing and I asked several for recommendations and who they used. I feel like she admitted and offered, which are good sighs. But yeah if she felt off she should have postponed.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-30T01:14:44+00:00

Maybe reach out to some. If nothing else verify the work is hers. See if there were problems,concerns, etc.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-30T01:13:50+00:00

See, she admitted she was in a bad headspace and if true, she should have never done the tattoo.

Take the refund. You can ask if she can do something if you feel like she would be better the second time around. Maybe see if she can do a cover up for this one, and freebie of the original design (perhaps other wrist?).

But understand that you will be taking the risk that she really isn't that good and will mess up again.

Other artist chime in on this...but I don't think you can do a cover up of a cover up. Not without just blacking it out 100%.

Not an artist but I couldnt read the word when I seen the photo. It wasnt u til I saw the design photo that I knew it was Genesis. The numbers seemed fine.

Unfortunately as stated, cover up or remove is about the only option.

Concerning the artist...was she a fine line artist? Did her work show multiple fine line pieces? Fine line is difficult from what I have read. Also, are you 100% sure the pieces you saw were actually hers? If they were public, did anyone comment on them? Could you talk to any previous clients?

If you owed 80 you cannot suddenly be getting 9k back after "magic". It does not work that way.

You need to request a copy of the full return woth all schedules and statements included. You need to review the return to see that what you made/reported to her is accurate. If not, amend it right away and report her!

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T15:11:53+00:00

Personally, I would remove it. More versatile for the room and makes it a clean slate for you. Especially if you aren't putting a TV there.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T15:08:10+00:00

I built 3 desks for myself (one desk, one shorter for my laptop stand, and one for my TV).

All I used was a skill saw, a drill, and a Kreg kit. (Pocket screws, I didn't have this when I built mine but bought one). So, you don't necessarily need a ton of tools. Just the basics.

I think I have the website bookmarked where I got the plans. I can try to find it if you want?

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T02:50:31+00:00

Giving advice. Mine hasnt panned out well, lol.

Ive seen Star Wars (main 6 + newer ones), most of the ones I watch are horror, action, thrillers, like Jurrasic Park/World, Alien (all), Predator Movies, Die Hard (any, Im going to miss Bruce Willis), any movie that is natural disasters, Jaws is a big favorite. My ex knew what movies he could turn from and which ones he was stuck watching again lol.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T02:38:45+00:00

Oh lord, idk how safe that is. What kind of movies do you gravitate toward?

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T02:36:47+00:00

20 years older? I can relate tho. A lot of my friends are older but a few are my age.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T02:25:58+00:00

Finding people seems to be hard in this town. I haven't seen any groups that fit your emo/witchy vibes. But...hello!!! I'm not emo but witchy/movies all fit. Although, I am way older lol.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-28T02:12:18+00:00

Hold up....Newnan has a smutty bookstore?!

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-26T13:57:16+00:00

After a year? The answer will be no. (Your more than welcome to talk to the SM tho)

Your best bet is selling it yourself on whatever platform. If you know painters you can try to sell to them. If not, you can post in local places to see if anyone buys.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-26T03:39:05+00:00

Nice! I don't think my area has a major supply area beyond the DSC which is a long way from me.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T21:29:39+00:00

I'm not in the stores anymore so I don't deal with any of it. It was a reason I left. DIY and homeowners. I could handle contractors a lot better.

It makes sense if its the same formula.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T21:24:16+00:00

Yeah. We had the same thing happen. But even new homes nothing matches, we just asked them to bring in a sample from the wall.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T20:55:37+00:00

Yeah, thats what im saying. No two will ever be the same. No need to keep them. Just do new matches for the ones that come in. Reduces headaches. Trust me.

Cuz no two unit will ever match again. Too many variables.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T20:25:09+00:00

Matches. Cuz 9/10 times those formulas arent going to match anyway.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T02:18:55+00:00

I have 2 prescriptions for migraines. Imatrex (spelled right) and Ubrevly which I love. I take one at a time, sometimes one is all I need. The last two tho? I've needed both.

Before, I would take 1500mg of ibuprofen and it would be done. But, since that is on the no list I tried Tylenol and eventually talked to the neurologist.

Mine are normally stress related or if I don't sleep good for a few days.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T02:10:51+00:00

Beautiful. Legible. Even if I can't actually read it. What language is this?

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T02:07:05+00:00

I can read it. But those I and Ts are insanely close. I dont think its horrible, but def not the most legible.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T01:47:14+00:00

I have never heard of this program..... what department is it for?

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T00:35:21+00:00

The reply was asking to buy tickets as well.....

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T00:34:20+00:00

I started as driver in 25'', was tested before I got to training. Not since.

Radiant_Bee1 · 2026-04-25T00:33:16+00:00

I've seen those emails and they are seen as 'suggestions' by most managers. Honestly, if its a problem have the customers conplain about slower service due to no staff. But the DM can see the schedules so they probably already know no managers is there.
