tattoo client horror stories

One horror story is a client who wanted a small, simple tattoo. But the tattoo artist was inexperienced. The lines were all wobbly and the shape was completely distorted. It ended up looking like a blob instead of the intended design.

A client once showed up drunk to their tattoo appointment. They were very unruly and kept moving around while the artist was trying to work. This not only made it dangerous for the client as the tattoo needle could cause more harm, but also made it impossible for the artist to create a clean and accurate tattoo. In the end, the artist had to stop the session and reschedule, which was a waste of time for both parties.

Sure. There was this one client who went to a so - called 'cheap' tattoo parlor. The equipment didn't seem clean. Later, the client had an infection that was really bad. It took weeks of treatment and left a scar where the tattoo was supposed to be.

Sure. A client had a very specific design in mind. They showed the tattoo artist a picture of what they wanted. But the artist completely misinterpreted it. Instead of a beautiful, detailed flower, the artist ended up creating something that looked like a child's scribble. The client was horrified and there was a huge argument about what could be done to fix it. Eventually, the artist had to offer a discount on a cover - up tattoo, but the client was still very unhappy with the whole experience.

One horror story is when a client asked for a very specific outdoor shoot. The photographer prepared everything, but on the day of the shoot, the client kept changing the location and the poses every few minutes. It made the whole process extremely chaotic and the photographer couldn't get the right lighting and composition most of the time.

Late payments are a common theme. Clients may delay payments for various reasons, like financial difficulties of their own or simply trying to avoid paying. Another is excessive micromanagement where clients interfere too much in the process.

In another instance, an attorney's junior associate misfiled some documents. These documents were related to a high - profile client and contained privileged information. The misfiled papers were found by a rival law firm during a discovery process in an unrelated case. This put the client at a great disadvantage and led to a breakdown of trust between the client and the attorney. The attorney had to work hard to regain the client's trust and deal with the fallout from the exposure of the privileged information.

In many photography client horror stories, over - demanding clients are a common factor. They ask for excessive retouching, way beyond what was agreed upon. Another element is clients who are not punctual. This throws off the photographer's schedule and might mean missing the best lighting or the perfect backdrop. Also, miscommunication about the deliverables is quite common. For instance, the client might think they are getting all the raw files as well as the edited ones, while the photographer only planned to provide the edited ones according to the contract.

A common one is clients being late. They book an appointment but show up half an hour or even an hour late. This throws off the nail tech's schedule for the whole day. For example, if there are other clients booked after, it can cause a domino effect of delays.

One horror story I've heard was a client who kept changing their mind about the nail design. First, they wanted a simple French manicure, then added a bunch of intricate details like tiny flowers and gems. After the nails were done, they complained that it was too flashy and demanded a redo for free. It was really frustrating for the nail technician as a lot of time and materials had been wasted.
