ugh...

so we went to make that appt for h's tattoo. the guy seemed totally cool.. we gave him $160 down and went back on sat for the f/u appt.. he didn't have the sketch that he promised, part of the reason for the money down, with him.. ugh. so he promised he's send it to h that night or the next morning. he did but they sucked. that wasn't what h wasn't looking for. h responded back and never heard anything. second red flag imo.

anyway, h is at his appt right now. they sent pics to me and i don't like either effing one. h told me he is going to DRAW the tattoo on him. i feel like that isn't what h was looking for at all. i'm freaking out and i don't know what to do.

I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO. i'm gonna leave soon and bring money.. but i'm freaking out.

Re: ugh...

  • I'm assuming that you can't get the deposit back? Either way, deposit or not, unless your H is 100% happy with the drawing I wouldn't let the tattoo artist get near me with the gun thing. 

    Can you ask for a new artist?

    that's exactly what i told h. omg. the guy is incredible, don't get me wrong.. he is AMAZING and i'm sure it'll be awesome.. i just think he gets carried away in the artist thing and forgets what people want.. and h is so sweet he will let them talk him into stuff. also, i'm just worried because i really hate the idea.. plus, i've never seen a pic of exactly what he's talking about.

    now the thing is.. do i go down there now and try to see him draw the tattoo on with pen or whatever.. or do i go in a little bit when h actually gets tattooed?? i don't have a lot of time, only the normal time for lunch, 30mins.. which literally means, i'll walk in, get a glance, and go back to work. UGH, i'm scared. and i feel like crying.

    Yes 

    Have you seen it? 

  • Yay! I'm glad it is sorted out for the moment. Let us know how it turns out!

  • FWIW, the sketch looks nothing like what it looks like on skin. i was nervous when i got mine, but i trusted the artist (you did research on which artist you wanted, right?). she had a line drawing, and told me it'd be shaded in correctly when i got it. i also made a slight modification from the sketch, and she fixed that on-skin w/o fixing the sketch.

    but regardless--if he's uncomfortable with the artist/sketch, then don't get it done.
