I
got
my
first
tattoo
here
last
weekend,
and
it
is
safe
to
say
I
will
never
be
back.
I
went
with
a
group
of
three
other
people,
and
we
had
made
an
appointment
over
a
month
ahead
of
time.
On
the
day
of
the
appointment,
we
received
a
call
from
the
shop
to
come
in
as
soon
as
possible,
three
hours
before
our
appointment.
When
we
arrived,
an
exacerbated
worker
approached
my
group
and
asked:
"Who
has
the
fern
tattoo?",
to
which
I
raised
my
hand.
The
girl
showed
me
one
of
the
reference
pictures
I
had
sent
and
aggressively
told
me
"This
is
not
a
small
tattoo,
and
it
will
take
me
close
to
two
and
a
half
hours
for
this."
This
confused
me
as
we
had
booked
a
large
slot
of
time
and
two
artists
for
our
group.
The
tattoo
I
asked
for
was
only
around
5
inches
long
and
simple
line
work.
I
explained
to
her
that
there
was
a
second
reference
photo
along
with
the
first,
and
that
the
description
explained
what
I
wanted
in
detail.
(We
found
out
later
that
the
shop
had
not
received
all
of
our
pictures
and
descriptions
that
we
had
sent
weeks
before.
This
included
my
second
reference
photo
and
description.
Yet
they
had
failed
to
tell
us
that
they
were
not
received.)
She
stomped
away
and
printed
out
a
stencil,
not
taking
any
time
to
tweak
the
drawing
or
ask
about
specifics
with
me.
She
brought
it
back
to
me
and
held
it
up
to
my
arm
and
asked
what
I
thought.
The
stencil
was
on
the
side
of
my
arm,
and
I
couldn't
see
the
full
thing
without
a
mirror.
I
tried
looking
down
at
it,
and
about
10
seconds
later
she
loudly
huffed
and
angrily
told
me
to
go
look
in
the
mirror
around
the
corner,
to
which
she
had
not
pointed
out
before.
I
felt
super
rushed
looking
at
the
stencil
as
she
glared
at
me
like
was
inconveniencing
her
in
some
way.
It
was
the
size
that
I
wanted
so
I
approved.
A
few
minutes
later,
the
set
up
was
ready
and
she
told
me
to
go
sit
in
the
chair
while
she
prepped
my
arm.
I
made
a
small
tweak
to
the
design
once
the
stencil
was
on
my
arm,
and
we
started.
Mater
searched
up
that
Melissa
(the
shop
owner)
was
the
artist
who
printed
my
stencil
and
did
my
tattoo.
She
barely
talked
to
me
during
the
whole
tattoo,
as
she
was
too
busy
chatting
with
one
of
her
employees.
About
20
minutes
later,
she
was
done.
This
seemed
fairly
quick
to
me,
but
as
this
was
my
tattoo
I
didn't
question
it.
Filled
with
adrenaline,
didn't
really
see
the
messy
lines,
and
I
approved
the
tattoo.
She
put
on
the
"second
skin",
and
didn't
cover
it
completely,
not
covering
a
branch
of
the
fern.
When
my
group
was
done
and
it
was
time
to
pay,
she
told
me
the
tattoo
would
cost
$250
(wow!).
I
took
off
the
second
skin
a
few
days
later,
and
was
met
with
a
hot
mess.
Rushed
shaky
lines,
splotchy
leaves,
and
even
missing
spots
in
the
branches.
We
had
spoken
about
the
fern
not
looking
"bold",
but
I
had
unfortunately
assumed
that
did
not
mean
"you
can
rush
with
this
tattoo,
and
scribble
on
leaves
with
no
thought
or
manner!".
I
attempted
to
contact
the
shop
by
their
number
listed
online,
left
a
voicemail,
and
have
not
yet
received
a
response.
I'm
unfortunately
going
to
have
to
get
it
touched
up
or
even
covered
due
to
its
poor
quality.
I
would
have
much
rather
been
turned
away
or
rescheduled
then
having
a
poor
quality
tattoo
permanently
on
my
arm.
I
would
not
recommend
Artisan
Ink,
and
I
would
avoid
this
buisness
if
you're
not
looking
for
a
rushed,
overpriced
tattoo!
