Ink Addiction

What I thought would be a simple name tattoo turned out to be more difficult. The tattoo turned out horrible. While I was trying to explain to the artist what was wrong she was just not getting it. She continued to go over and over the tattoo, just making me bleed (which has never happened with my others). Some lines were extremely thick, all of them looked blurry. She made two letters touch so they looked like 1 continuous letter. The lines were not sharp at all, it looked like her hand was shaking the entire time. She kept telling me the ink wasn’t taking to my skin because I’m light skinned… I’ve never had that issue with my skin before. I actually tattoo very easily, no bleeding or anything. I expcted more bleeding with this tat however because it was on my wrist but this was ridiculous. All in all the tattoo looked nothing like the font we had chosen or the picture she used for reference. She told me I could come back to get it touched up. I didn’t feel comfortable going back to her since she wasn’t understanding my frustrations with the tattoo initially. I called and the owner said I could come have him fix it. He was very nice. He completely understood that I didn’t feel comfortable going back to the original artist. I went in and he was extremely nice, quick and apologetic. He told me that he really hoped this experience hadn’t ruined tattoos for me altogether. He did the best he could to fix the tattoo. It looked like a
whole new tattoo when he was done. There was just one letter he couldn’t fix much because the original artist had made it much thicker than the rest.
Although I was disappointed with the tattoo the owners quality of work was much higher. I can’t even remember the name of my original artist but I would not recommend to the young, female artist there. She said she had been doing tattoos for 4 or 5 years.
Even though he was able to clean it up fairly well it still is nowhere near the quality of work I want on my body for life. Im looking to get it covered up at this point or consult with another artist to see what else I can do to clean it up.
