Got home from work today and just found out from my other half that the tattoo studio im using has rang and the artist who is doing my half sleeve is leaving the country………
Not a happy bunny, just rang them and said well is he at least going to finish the work he started?!
Nope, his work i going to be taken on by the other artists in the studio.
Im so annoyed I only had 3hrs before it was finished!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Decided on using sim after a lot of looking at his porfolio, just basically wanted a bit of a rant.
Im perfectly happy with him going for in the studios words a once in a lifetime opportunity, just think after waiting 6months he would have the consideration to finish what he started or at the very least the ones like mine 3rs or less jobs!:(
sorry it has happened to you…………..
here in atlanta 2-3 years is normal for an artists to hang out, alot of artists whom are my friends and would agree with my saying this are kinda picky about who they work with and they get the itch to move……things might be going great where they are, but after 2 years they get the itch and move, I follow some of them………a couple guys have gone onto really great shops (like Paul Booths) what are you gonna do, cant stop them from progressing and being happy but it sure sucks for us!
it is difficult to find someome whose style can carry the piece out, but you can find someone.
the problem as I see it, is even though they might run a machine the same way and have the same basic style they dont think the same sometimes and the piece can look different because the new artist is heading in his own direction………take some time and find the right person, as little time as you have left you shouldnt have to worry about diirection, it is already set!

I know, im trying not to be-grudge him as I know he loves thailand and all, its just it took me so long to pick him… and maybe one day he may become one of those super star tattooists like paul booth! Its just I wanted him to finish mine off….
I know I will, going to have a look at said’s (sims) finished Koi and hopefully they will meet my satisfaction as I know he can do really good japanese if he wants too. As when I was getting tattooed by arran, sim was doing a japanese/ waterfall peice on some girls ribs and I was actually quite surprised by how nice it looked as I know japanese isin’t his first love.
My last 3hrs is only going in one direction my direction if it can be helped, after all the whole line work is there just needs a little bit of colour. But hell, I will have a further inspection of his work in person soon and I will see were I go from there. And if its not what I want I shall ask for a refund and take my money else were to someone of my liking!
The amusing thing is, well to me anyway i: that I was considering him for a small peice in the future anyway as his style suits the peice I have in mind LOL!
I intend too, but first things first a good look through all there work is in order. Then I can better assess who I think will finish it to my standards!
I don’t really feel obliged to do anything to be honest, all Im saying is I will take a look and if its not what I want I shall take my buisness elswere. Oh and I appricate all of your advice, its nice to have people to discuss my woes with ^_^
