i was having a tidy up and found a print out of my lettering tattoo,its 3 initals in balmoral script font.what i noticed was that my tat is not identical to the font.i had not noticed until yesterday ive had it 6 months,but some lines on the original peice of paper are joined to the letters a,but mine arnt,the tat says PAA.why would my artist slightly change my tattoo from the print out i gave him

it cold be a numerous of reasons, maybe the artist, saw that part of the design didnt flow properly, or maybe the artist saw these lines as too small and he didnt wna take the risk of messing it up. if your not entirely satisifed with it, you can always go back to him/her and confront them about it..just remember to be polite with them..if their a respected shop they may be applogetic about it, if they aint a respected shop, they could see it as a threat and go mad lol...

i think u are right ,cos i had it done by one of the best in my area,im guessing he did what he thought looked best,and like i said ive had it 6 months,and only just noticed it,plus its even more original now i guess,i wont need to go to the artist as he will probbaly say what u said

if hes the best in your area, then you cant argue with him, he must of done it, because he knew what was best with the design..and if you have just noticed it 6 months down the line, he cant of messed it up badly, otherwise you would have noticed straight away lol..
and i totaly agree with you on that, its original now, and no one else would have the same tattoo as you got..
