Your artist

Are you happy with your artist and the work he or she does? Is all of your work done by the same artist? If not, is there a reason why you switched? And if someone asked you where they should get their tattoo done, would you suggest your artist? I'm happy with my current artist, and I love the work. My first tattoo was done by another artist, and I switched because I didn't like how it turned out. It wasn't what I asked for, and he didn't do well on the lettering at all. I would tell someone to go to my current tattoo shop, but I should strongly advise they didn't go to the first place I went.

My first two pieces were by the same artist and I think that he did an amazing job. For my third tattoo, the other shop was closed for the day so I went next door and my new artist did a horrible job. I shouldn't have cheated on my tattoo artist!

Haha, yeah. I'm not going to switch to a different artist, unless for some reason they close their shop for good. I just don't trust people enough anymore, after my horrible first tattoo. It's able to be fixed, but I don't know if I want to even attempt it. It could turn out worse than it already is.

I adore my tattoo artist. She has done four out of my five tattoos, and she touched up the one that she didn't do to make it look a lot better. I took a friend's recommendation for my first tattoo, and didn't really like that artist too much. But I stumbled upon my current artist, because she happened to be available the day I wanted a tattoo, and she became my permanent artist. Now I live 2,000 miles away from her, and so I'm having to wait until Christmas to get my next tattoo. I will eventually look for a new artist out here, but there are still a few of my tattoos that I'd like to be able to go back to my favorite for.
