| - I went a couple of years ago to do a cover up of my small tattoo on my lower back. The process up to was fine, emailing sketches to me for approval, tweaking and stuff. I felt good going in. Her artwork was great and she is talented. However, when she put the stencil on my body I did not like the fact that some of the petals, vines and filigree flowed below my butt crack line. She said she would make the petals closer to that area smaller no problem. I repeated myself sternly because I wanted to make sure petals werent going to end up in my butt crack or too far down. She said ok she would tweak it on my body. My issue was that I didn't want the vines to go all the way from my left hip, to all the way my right. So I understand she tried to make it flow from top left to bottom right. I sat in the chair for five hours no breaks. Because of the detail and shading, and the fact the cover up grew significantly larger in size, I definitely was in pain. You can tell the artist was getting antsy and annoyed, to the point where she was rolling her eyes... which I find extremely rude. Finished product; beautiful work, but the only thing I didn't want? She ended up doing. The petals flowed lower than I wanted, and the filigree flowed onto my right ass cheek. When I saw it, I didn't even know what to say.... I was so pissed I just paid gave a cold shoulder thanks and left.. I mean what can I really do now anyway? When I wear jeans, two inches of my tattoo detail is covered. If I had known it was going to flow so low, I would have just made the vines completely symmetrical. I was mad that I was mislead. IF she had told me no, those petals need to match the other sizes of petals or for whatever reason it'd still end up under my butt line, I honestly would have just made it symmetrical. I'd advise you to find another place that treats your customers with respect. And a place that actually CARES and listens about what you want.
