    I got the outline of my second half sleeve finished 16 days ago. I have been trying to schedule an appointment to get it finished for the last week and it hasnt worked. We finally found a date but then it snowed and he canceled, I recently asked about doing it Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday on Monday he said he would let me know tomorrow (Tuesday) but he never responded. I do not want to be an annoying client but I go back to school soon and want to get it finished before then, any advice? The shop is almost an hour away so I dont want to drive there unless I’m gonna get it done. Thanks

    I know its not far but I have his facebook, cell phone number, and the shop’s number shouldn’t that be more than enough to try to schedule an appointment?

    I don’t think it would hurt to keep pestering him. You pay his bills by getting a tattoo from him, customers are the most important part of his business.

    Is he worth finishing it? post a pic of what you got so far.
    The guy sounds like a flake post a link to his work.
    which one of these did you choose? http://www.thetattooforum.com/artist-t21808.html

    I think it’s bad he’s not booking you in! Give it a few more days then call again, he can’t not finish it!

    Ring the shop, tell him to stop being a complete fucking moron and ask him if you make a trip to the studio can you book in without him being a dick. 🙂

    Well the way i see it is this. You gata ask yourself do you want to kill prime realestate with subpar artists at 18 or wait and save your money till you can afford the artist thats 6 hrs away?
    I realise thats its too late for that but it bugs me when i see teenagers with sleeves ironed out with bad work. I dont mean you i just mean in general.
    Anyways, good luck with the appt. If the guys a flake find someone else.
