Have you ever had a tatooist screw up the design on your body? or do you know anyone that has had it happened to them?

Yes i have , 3 times in the same tattoo ,I do not use this artisat any more and never will again , i also tell people who ask about him what he did ...as i feel the mistakes are so stupid ....
The bad part about them is that the rest of the tattoo is very good , and its a shame i have no faith in the guy now as i did like the bloke .

i have a number 9 that looks like the letter G
I have blue in my tigers mouth , never seen a tiger with blue in its mouth .
And a piece of grass was coloured black , the rest is normal green grass .

Only small but still .....when i paid $760 for a tat i want it right .

I have an armband that the "artist" screwed up, the lineing is all over the place the colour has bits missing and there is a small segment of the tattoo missing i think this part of the stencil wiped off not sure.

It is the only tattoo that i regret having, it looks messy and horrible and it is going to cause problems when i get half sleeves in the future.

Like Dicky i dont go anywhere near that tattoo studio anymore and i do advise others not to use him. My armband is far from the only bad tattoo that he has produced.

Wish I knew then as i would have gone elsewhere.

Dickie maybe your tiger is eating a blue smartie...lol. Its a shame when artists get it wrong, but i think it can happen even to a great artist if you get them on a bad day.
The best thing to do needlebound if you are worried, is have a look through their portfolio before you book in. They should have one available with their work to show. Just keep in mind, they are likely to only have their best work in it Razz
