I’d definitely say pissed would be an understatement. It just kills me that this happened. It gives all of us artists a bad name and reputation.

@cb:
It is a well-done piece. Just not the piece he wanted…

I was extraordinarily lucky with my first tattoo. my second didn't turn out exactly how I envisioned, but it was a really difficult thing I asked the artist to do. Plus I didn't speak up enough about one spacing issue. But I've grown to love it- as it is so very different from other tattoos that people have.
