I hate to do this but feel like people have the right to chose the best shop and artist they feel they can. I thought I did this with Broken Dagger and tattoo and artist Jason.
Not only was my tattoo a complete blowout but so was my cousins, we got tattoos together on the same day, by the same artist. Both our tattoos look completely blurry and blown out. The only cause is for the needle going too deep. I have consulted over 30 artists and the best shops in LA; to see what my options were. Every single artist advised me to get mine removed.
The shop did not offer to help with any removal fees.
***I was refunded payment for the tattoo itself and was responded to immediately about my tattoo issues. Though the situation was unfortunate it was handled with grace and respect.
