That is what i thought i was doing, ie finding a great talented artist who may not be a household name, but is still better than the rest. I’m exhausted and haven’t even made a single step of progress yet. Ill try following work for another shop.

That is a bummer. I hate to think I’m stuck with a tattoo that i can’t have altered. Its becoming very hard for me to feel like i can ever trust an artist, which is sad because i love tattoos and want more. I can see your point tho. So, they likely would not ever tattoo around it? Its not bad quality at all, just did not come out as realistic…[Read more]

It looked like David has some of the best linework, tho his page says he’s only been tattooing a few years. But he’s amazing nonetheless. I visited his…[Read more]

How long a wait is long enough to move on to a different shop? I contacted rebel muse and haven’t heard a peep yet but it’s only been a couple days.

Its giving me a more positive outlook. I just feel like I’m so out of my league, trying to find a surgeon when all I need is a band aid. But all I read is that artist choice is so critical, and so, I’ll try to trust someone again. Anyway, I hope to hear back soon from the shop I emailed, hopefully they dont just ignore me.

I will reach out to a shop to satisfy curiosity and see what response I get, as to whether they will be open to a rework or add on, without it being a large piece.

Do they tend to pass them off to the lesser skilled artists?

Haha ya that was pretty much my intention to stay vague. Well I have an arrow on my upper arm. My opinion is it’s a little less than perfect but for the most part a good tattoo. Just some glaring…[Read more]

It’s very helpful. And sorry, I know I been asking this question all over the place, but its a big mental roadblock for me right now. Im certain that choosing a new artist would be good, and I’ve gotten some good recommendations for great artists near my area. The problem I see is that they do these great big detailed…[Read more]

I really like the cannibal graphics guys but the site says they have a minimum of 3 hours and $300…is that normal for the really good tattooers? I’m confused about how to get a really great small tattoo…the great tattooers seem to do mainly custom large pieces.

I feel like I’d be wasting their time with my little crap tattoo. How does an artist like those feel about seeing a client with much smaller scale vision for a tiny piece, especially a rework or adding to something existing that’s not up to their quality?

To get definitive answers and opinions, you need a pic. I just don’t want to feel worse about it, I’m trying to feel better! I don’t necessarily want it critiqued, I just want to have another perspective to help me with my slight disappointment. I wanted to have a tat I was proud to show off, not something I feel like I have to…[Read more]
