See, I did give him a print-out of a design I wanted and he altered it slightly, but not much. I did try and do some research and look into places, so went to a reputable place and they showed me some of his work and put me with him.

I e-mailed the shop I got it done at, said I wasn’t happy and that it wasn’t done well and they genuinely seemed concerned that I wasn’t happy…going in to meet with the shop owner next week to see what (if anything) can be done.

Hey guys, New on here…

I recently got my second tat…and though it is pretty simple and kind of overdone, it def does have meaning to me…but aside from that, I’m not sure that the artist did a great job…to me there are parts that look a bit shaky around the outline…also in between the middle lines, it looks a bit…
