Why tattoo artists LIE so much?

[Javfly33]

Yeah, like I know you have to make money but really? Just straight up lying?

 

I have 2 tattoos. First one Im pretty happy with the result.

Second one though, not so much. The tattoo artist told me it would be 'the same' to the example I gave him (I gave him a photograph as example of what I wanted to tattoo).

It was not the same. I would have appreciate it if he would have told me before. Also he just did some things that were not on the photograph example.

I get that sometimes you just can not do it exactly with 100% precision. But if you are not able just tell me, don´t just tattoo it without asking.

 

Yesterday i went to another guy in order to fix me what the previous one had done me (the second tattoo). It was a simple thing. Just cover with some tint here and there. 

Well, again, he told me it could be done easily. And now seeing the result, I realize there are some things that he didn´t do well. He covered well some things but others parts of the tattoo seems he used a different type of needle so there is a noticeable difference between the first tint pass (the majority of the tattoo) and the second one. 

Again...why the hell you tell me it can easily be done if then it seems you can not do it? Why don´t you just stop and tell me? Can´t you see a tattoo is not like a haircut bro?

Why they just can´t say "Oh no, that thing i can not do it, I can do it like this but it won´t just be 100% the same, are you Ok with that"?

 

They have such low integrity...damn.

Also in both places I have gone in both they never accept cards...hehe, "artists" don´t like to pay taxes it seems... such an unprofessional antisocial collective it seems these people are.

I have several tattoos that are not exactly as I wanted them to be... I just got more. Lower your expectations and just laugh about it, theyre not that serious
