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?
