i thought i would share my recent experience at a tattoo lous. i was butchered. i walked in to get a pretty basic mom on a heart tattoo. this ""artist"" should be ashamed for doing this to people. not only does the shading make no sense, most of the coloring was gouged in me repeatedly with a single needle until another artist questioned why they were not using something with multiple needles. i started to stop this artist half way through, but was assured that it will come together and i would be happy in the end. it has been 18 days and my arm stil hurts and some of the scabs are still there. after talking to a manager in another branch i was offered to come back and have it fixed by another artist (admission that the original couldnt do it if you ask me) then after asking around in another branch i was told by other employees that it is known and causing a ""controversy"" within the company. that they know this artist has no business giving you a tattoo, but can not fire them out of fear that one of their award winning artists who brings in $$$ will go with. instead they will allow you to get ugly painful tattoos and offer up the services of a better artist later. i have left out the artist name and branch so you can use any at your own risk. would you like to see some pics? copy and paste the link: replace (DOT) with actual dots twice www(DOT)s867.photobucket(DOT)com/albums/ab236/tattoo-lous/garbage%20tattoo/
Pros: you will learn a lesson
