tattoo artist client horror stories

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. 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 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.

There was a case where a client didn't follow the after - care instructions properly. They went swimming right after getting a new tattoo. As a result, the tattoo got infected, and the client blamed the artist for it. But in reality, it was the client's own negligence. This kind of situation can be really frustrating for tattoo artists as their reputation is at stake.

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.

Some tattoo artists have horror stories about clients who haggle over the price right in the middle of the tattoo session. It's really unprofessional and can be very distracting. One artist said a client started arguing about the price when he was halfway through a large back piece tattoo. It made the whole process very unpleasant.

One common element is unrealistic expectations. Clients often bring in pictures of models with perfect lighting and airbrushing and expect the exact same look. Another is being late like in the bridal makeup example. It throws off the artist's schedule. And of course, the indecisiveness of clients who can't decide on a look.

Sure. One horror story is when a client insisted on a very specific look from a picture but her face shape was completely different. The makeup artist tried to explain the adjustments needed but the client got angry. In the end, the makeup looked awful and the client blamed the artist.

One horror story is about a client who asked for a simple flower tattoo. The tattoo artist started, but halfway through, the tattoo gun malfunctioned and left a big, jagged mark on the client's skin that wasn't part of the design. It was a nightmare to fix.

I'm not sure which work you're referring to. If you can provide more context, I will try my best to answer your questions.
