What to do?
What to do? Well I had decided a few weeks ago to get a tattoo and I did and am not too happy about it all. I got two simple words on my back across my shoulder blades and it was supposed to be straight. What sucks is that I look at pictures while I had it done and from them the words look straight and in a nice line but now when I look at it in the mirrors and from my g/f's perspective it is crooked and one word slightly slanted more than the other.
My question there lies in what do I do about it? I have gone in and called to try to schedule the artist to redo and put something around the words to make it look just a little better but it's still not going to be good. But now after I have decided that the ******* guy won't even take me in at a convienent time and is making up all these damn excuses about being all booked up when he told me when I was getting the damn thing done that he hasn't had a full day in months, I just don't know what to do about this, he keeps on making excuses and not taking me in to fix it. Unfortunatly the owner is out of town I think for another week so should I just wait for him to come back into town?
I'm sorry but it sounds as if I'm bitching, but it is a local tattoo shop and if they can't make a mistake right then people will know about it. I can't stand being treated like this.

Well i won't be of much help, but bear with me for a moment
When you got your tats done, you were laying on your stomach/chest. If not leaning forward a good bit.
Now, when you stand up, your skin/muscle move down
Is it possible that its just off because of a difference between laying/leaning vs standing?
Just throwing it out there
also, one shoulder could be higher than the other. Just the way you are built. The Tatoos being off could just be amplifying the natural differences between shoulders.
good luck getting it resolved

Jason brings up some interesting points. If the shop has been in business for a while and has a good reputation, then the "busy" excuse could be valid. I'd ask for some second opinions from others that have tattoos similar to yours and see what feedback you get. Obviously it sucks you aren't happy about it, hope it gets resolved one way or another.

When I got it done I was leaning and sitting with my chest on a chair and the artist behind me but when he put the stencil on I was standing straight up with him on a chair cause i'm 6'2 and he was only 5'6 at the most, looked in the mirror and everything looked good but now it's crooked when I stand straight so I don't get it. I'm just more upset about him not holding his word on what should be a ten to fifteen minute fix if that yah know. It's just irritating cause I want to show it off and possibly get more stuff done by the same guy but it doesn't look likely if he can't back up his work.
thanks for some of advice though.

Wow, he did one standing and the other leaning forward? Thats just asking for there to be a difference between the two......
I also understand the frustation you must be going through, especially if the guy said it would be a quick and easy fix.
FWIW, I'm an X-ray tech, so I see this kind of thing all the time, albeit from a different perspective. Especially the difference in muscle/skin movement from laying to standing and so forth.
Again, good luck getting this resolved

This was a place in deland called Bully's Tattoo and Piercing, they are right off of 17-92 just a couple miles down after you go over the river. Used to be apart of Inkredible Ink but the owner broke off from that and now is known as such
But standing or not standing and leaning forward when I look at it standing straight up in the mirror and from other people's view it is crooked and slanted. I'll post a pic when I get off from work tonight.

Ill say this, i know it will cost more money, but if a a shop goofed a tatoo on me, i would dang sure not go back to them and let them try to fix it, go somewhere else and pay to have it done right.
Yeah I was talking to my g/f and she has a friend that goes down to a place in Kissimmee that does a lot of fixes on tattoos and has all of their work online so I'm going to go there and get it fixed, really I just want my money back and am waiting for the owner to come back in town cause he had a funeral to go to out of the country. Any one want to meet me up there in the demand for the money back lol.
