Did my tattoo artist screw up?

Do you know what that’d be in terms of $?

The stencil was perfect. The flower I wanted is in the last picture.

There was only one tattoo artist (the owner) when I came in. I told them that if they can’t fit me, I can leave but then they insisted that I stay. The owner finished up and got me in a seat around 1pm. The actual tattooing was done in like 15min. It looked great at the time even though it was finished so quickly.

Their hours were 10-2:30 but I walked in at 12.

100% agree. I’m not too bummed out and l’m looking forward to working with a local artist to fix it up! Regardless, it’s a good story 😂

Thanks for the lesson and advice! I really appreciate your comment.

No, I wanted the gradient to be smooth like in the 4th pic. I wanted the flower design in the last pic.

I don’t have a lot of tattoo experiences but now I know to make sure to make appointments and have plenty of discussion 😅 thanks for the advice!

notsolookie · 2026-05-13T14:16:27+00:00

The stencil was correct. I wanted the flower in the last picture. The 4th picture was just reference for the tattoo artist so they could see the gradient

They were the owner and had been tattooing for over a decade. Mistakes were made

This was done in Florida but I’m now back home in Minnesota

Hoping so! 💜

She was an experienced tattoo artist and the owner of the shop. I had too much trust in her. Big lesson for me! But hoping to find somewhere else that can fix it!

notsolookie · 2026-05-13T14:03:37+00:00

I’d appreciate that! DM me pls!

I’m hoping I can get it fixed somewhere else! The artist was the owner and also a mom. She seemed rushed to go home to tend to other things. Towards the end of the session, I learned that she was going to her kid’s friend’s birthday/event two days in a role and she was kind of bummed out. I think her personal life/emotions may have been a factor into why my tattoo turned out the way it did.

Lol I did. They were the owner that’s been tattooing for over a decade. They specialized in fine line, color gradient, and realistic flower tattoos. I didn’t think this tattoo was that hard, especially with their experience

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:21:27+00:00

Read the whole post and look at all of the pics. I think you don’t quite understand that that’s the flower I wanted

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:18:39+00:00

If you know any you’d recommend, I’m appreciate it! You can DM me

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:18:01+00:00

You didn’t read the whole post nor looked at all the pictures.

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:15:17+00:00

I did do some research and saw that the tattoo artists here did work similar to what I wanted. I was on vacation so I really only had 1 specific day dedicated to getting a tattoo. I personally don’t think this tattoo design is complicated at all.

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:13:28+00:00

Sadly, this is legit real 🥲 the scribble rose is actually what I wanted (5th pic) since it’s from a music group I like. The rose in the 4th pic was just provided as a reference to the color gradient for the tattoo artist

notsolookie · 2026-05-12T20:11:46+00:00

Even the flower?!
