I think he might have a hard time proving in court that this tattoo was not done the way he asked, especially considering the 3 sittings and it’s obvious from the first one it’s going to be rubbish. It would be word against word and if the tattooist could make a convincing argument that his customer was an idiot and he was just doing his job (thus proving himself to be an idiot at the same time, mind you) I doubt any legal issues could stick.
Then again, Americans are WAY to trigger-happy with their suits so who knows… maybe this is a basis for a whole new trend of suing your tattooist to get the price of the tattoo down.
OMG:eek: Is this a Joke laser that shit i mean there is nothing else to it your friend should have known when he saw the drawing that this guy didn’t know what he was doing. Not to mention that’s a terrible portfolio that should have triggered some part of his brain to say i gotta get the f*uck out of here.

So, I was sitting there and looked at the tattoo and I must of spent a good 5 minutes thinking,
“What in the world is that horrible black thing connecting the two…”women.”
I read further on and found out it was wings, hilarity ensued. Seriously though, that’s a horrid tattoo and I’d be ashamed to have it on me let alone publicly show it, even if it was my own design.
Ive just done a little research into this as it worries me about the legal aspects for her (the tattooist).

This means that If the tattooist makes a mess of your tattoo, consumer law says he or she is in breach of their contract with you and you can claim financial or physical compensation.
This is to anybody who provides a service in exchange for money, not just a shop, but also a freelance home “scratcher”. So if this could ever go to court, then if the client can convince the magistrate that the tattoo isn’t as the he wanted, and has a low enough skill provided, then they are eligible for a refund plus compensation costs.
Mind you the the post they left on Face Book defending the tattoo is probably about as good a defense as your going to get lol 😀

I checked a few other sites who also back this up, many being legal advisory and parasitic solicitor sites
The tattoo artist used to be a very close friend of mine, and even though were not too close now as she moved away, i don’t want to see her getting into trouble or legal issues. She has started producing tattoos very recently, and everybody on Facebook was posting amazing feedback.
So i posted a few concerns like i showed on page 2 of this thread and was shouted down, so posting it on here and sending the link to this thread was the only way to show it is not just my opinion and others with a lot more experience in this art have similar views.

Yes of course the artist can be be taken to court and lose unless the artist had the client sign a waiver like you do in a real shop. She better hope that doesn’t happen. I think she might be able to get away with it if they were the only two around and there were no witnesses.
but on the other hand the justice system is funny and you never know.

The idea behind the art leaves far much to be desired.It looks like a rough draft of a tattoo that an artist was still currently working on.It looks like a pencil drawing
its a cool idea.. but seriously, if your not a good artist then why get a tattoo you drew exactly like you drew it, also the artist has a bad portfolio, if think tribals and a badly tatted dragon makes a good portfolio (your friend) then your stupid – the artist, too shouldve saw this drawing and either refused it, or re-drawn it to make it sharper, the shading has gaps in places where there shouldnt be gaps – really horrible :p
