Shamdog Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi everyone, I'm in the Seattle area and got a ring finger tattoo about a month ago. The artist who did it was very experienced but didn't have the best customer service skills. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for his trade and was not demanding about his time or anything like that. However, he did not ask for my "vision" for the piece and he free-handed it. I realize it's a small and simple piece but this doesn't seem right. Anyway, I want to get it retouched by a different artist (of course I will pay) and wondering if anyone has any advice such as adding gray or any artist recommendations. Right now it's black only. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustingormley Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 No one will be able to give you much advice without a description of the tattoo, or better yet a photo. If you want something done to your tattoo you must ask the artist and tell him or her your vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Sorry for your bad experience.... Just curious... Why did you even approved of somebody tattooing you without even discussing what you want??????

Shamdog Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 He had the basic concept; I was just picturing a slightly smaller piece. He did some retouch work on an old tattoo first and it was good work so I thought I could trust his judgement. Also, I'll be honest, he was a slightly intimidating biker guy. - - - Updated - - - Sorry I can't figure out how to get a pic on here but it's a very basic piece: Roman numerals (no fancy font or anything) in black. It was kind of a long shot asking for advice on here... Probably just have to go to a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidjones Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Shop is a good idea. Also, be honest with them about when you got it. They may want a little longer healing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
