Real shame. Only ever experienced good things from all the guys there.
Which artist was it if you dont mind me asking?I love em, but if you dont feel comfortable dont do it. Though im sure if you questioned them theyd be as accomodating and understanding as possible

I'm thinking tattoo artists need to be professional and if not, then they need to be god damn apologetic. 3 months from the first appointment is a joke, to me that says they don't value the custom, if they don't value your custom, are they going to be the one to put that ink on you?
I'd pretty much settled on getting a load of work from a guy in Leeds , already got a lot from him and was planning more, last time I had work done I felt like the custom wasn't so valued, he'd put his prices up, and he rounded up the time... Were also a couple of little mistakes in the work (previous work flawless) all this left a slightly bitter taste, so from now I'll look elsewhere.
Your choice though at end of day.

Hey tattoo thread - your advice/input would be welcome here..
I went to King of Hearts in New Cross back in October for a piercing and was some impressed with the attitude and staff there, and recommendations from Dublin Kev in this very thread, I ended up having a discussion about a tattoo I've wanted for a while which in turn led to me actually making an appointment and putting down a deposit for a custom piece and appt made for mid Dec.
Mid-dec comes around and my requests for preview of artwork are ignored. Manager finally admits the artist hasn't done anything but says "we'll come up with something on the day"
Erm - no, so I re-schedule again to yesterday. 30 mins before appt I get an email. Not even a phone call saying artist is unwell and apols for short notice etc etc.
I've made another appt for a sat afternoon in May at 4pm, yet when I 1st talked about the piece I was told it would probably be an all day affair as it's dot work but now I get an appointment at the tail end of the day?? and the 3rd attempt?
Am kind of tempted to ask for my deposit back as so far they haven't exactly endeared themselves. I know tattoists are a disorganised bunch but still! On the other hand, I really like the piece and if the tattooist really was ill...?
What you thinking tattoo thread?
