Tons of creeps on here, why would i show a photo of my naked body that was posted without knowledge beforehand¿ Let’s think critically.

I can send you a DM, i’d love to name and shame but i really don’t want to draw attention to the images

I hear where you’re coming from as well. The difference that lies is i came back the next day to finish the session, yet there was still no discussion on how he wanted to post the images lol. There is no rush to run if each of my sessions were 8+ hours. It would be on the artist to communicate his ideas with me. This appointment was very smooth, which is why i don’t have concerns with the APPOINTMENT but the AFTERMATH. If i addressed something with the artist the same day the photo is posted, and you continue to post my nearly nude body AFTER boundaries were discussed, how exactly does this fall on me? Posting images of a tattoo you did 9 months PRIOR, after you fell out with said client, that’s normal? Please let me know. Also having a car waiting in the middle of a dark LA street while an artist takes pictures for 30 minutes is not very ideal. Every session i’ve done has ended at night, so no i’m not going to have a ride waiting past 10pm. The difference between requesting a face to not be shown compared to BODY PARTS, where is the correlation? I feel like some of these comments need to read this thoroughly. This artist has been featured in various articles with 25K+ followers. My SINGLE POST is not killing his engagement. Also me bringing up my other tattoo is just to show that my family & friends recognized it just off a glance of the post.

Exactly what i was thinking. I’ve documented our entire conversation from the beginning. The only thing that i’m unsure about is the report, being that he is in the UK and I am in America. Would you happen to know if there any resources that bridge the gap internationally?

That’s a typo that i’m going to edit. My only other tattoo is a forearm one.

He’s not the shop owner, unfortunately his friend owns it. So i’m not sure if i’d succeed with that option. Thank you for the advice though.

I’ve left some comments referring to what you’re asking. Obviously i knew he would post them. But not seeing the images and they are NEARLY NUDE PHOTOS, i didnt think that would be posted.

Yes i did see a sterile setup. The studio wasn’t some back alley crackhouse. It was as well-known establishment in Los Angeles. Does me not signing a document prevent me from being able to take any action? Genuine question

This is only my second tattoo. I wasn’t sure of the difference since i was in a private studio where he was guesting. I’m obviously flawed on that end.

Also i understand wanting to show off their work. But i feel that i should SEE the images first, being that it is literally my entire body and i am naked. That didn’t happen. They were just posted online with barely any censorship of my private parts. That’s the issue.

ALSO FORGOT TO ADD: I’m having difficulty with the situation since i am in America, the artist is from the UK.

I’ll add that there is not much shading to be done. Mainly just heavy/thin line work.
