slayer9019 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So on another forum I am on (non-tattoo), I came across "is this tattoo guy good" thread...well lets just say I am talking him out of a bad-bad decision.... ORIGINAL POST: So I am thinking about getting one of my dogs as a tattoo. I have a buddy who offered to do the tatt for a reasonable price. this is the picture I sent him This is the drawing he sent back. I am very happy with the sketch But I am afraid I like it because he is a friend. What do you guys think of the sketch. I don't want a truck-a-saurus on my hands.

JAllen Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 stained skin has some great guys, id go see drew at high street in columbus. he does some really nice portraits and is a great guy too. and that's not saying anything bad about stained skin, but really i think drew does some of the best portraits ive seen around this part of ohio. dari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepy mel Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 My partner and I have tried recommending shops and artists to people according to what they say they want, but weve given up as they never get the tattoos or say theyll just go to the local shop. abees and David Flores 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Flores Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You can try to steer people in the right direction and I still do but try but if they don't listen that's there problerm.

sleepy mel Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thats very true its incredible when friends say that they dont need to go to a "fancy" shop like my partner and I have when we live in London and there is so much talent in every style, there is no need to get a bad tattoo.

David Flores Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 As much as I don't want to turn this into a complaining session about customers, but people get hung up on the money thing. Often people don't know the things that make a tattoo good or bad, so if all the tattoos look good they are going to go to the one with a more reasonable price even if they suck. The other thing is people get baited in by low by the hour rates. They don't understand the guy charging very little per hour usually has less experience and is slow and the tattoo will end up costing them more. On the other side people don't want to be told no even if there idea sucks. So instead of listening they go to every shop until someone tells them there idea is good and they get exactly what they want. In this case the friend is seeking out advice so I think he will end up with a good tattoo. gougetheeyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
