First tattoo. My friend and I were pretty excited. We should have researched things better. Her tattoo was going to be large and couldn't be done on her neck, so it made her rethink things. I knew exactly what I wanted, but somehow in the discussion got talked out of what I wanted by the tattoo guy. He drew an excellent design, but he convinced me to do it facing the world instead of something I could read (personal to me, not the rest of the world). Five minutes after I walked out, I knew I hated it and was researching ways to get it removed. The tattoo had personal meaning to me. Done in reverse where I can't read it, it means nothing. This guy knows how to draw and he knows how to tattoo, but he should leave his thoughts and opinons to himself. Kicking myself for listening to him and now having to pay for a very expensive treatment to get it removed.
