Frustration

[emohawk]

Ah! i'm so frustrated at my tattooist right now. We started work on the left side of my chest piece back in August, and that is the only sitting we've done on it. She lives in another town so it takes some coordination to be in the same place at the same time. However, I'm over there almost every other weekend. I've been trying to get ahold of her since august, but i haven't been able to get her on the phone or answer any of my messages. I've already paid for the tattoo, and getting her to finish my other tattoos was never this difficult. Great as she is, I'll look at other places for any additional work.

Anyone else been in a situation like this?
any suggestion on what i should do?

i had a tattoo started, like 5 years ago.
i lived in B.F.M., so its a 2 hour drive to an actual shop...
so i went and got the outline done.
then life stepped in and got all crazy, no $ or time for inking/driving. sweatdrop
by the time crap settled down, my guy disappeared.
so i sit here w/ an outline lol

buut, i didn't have any deposits down or anything, it just looks kinda weird.
your situation is way crappier. do you think she's avoiding you on purpose? maybe she's on hard times, no phone or something....
does she work at a shop? maybe you could talk to the boss

no, she doesn't work out of a shop. She has no boss to talk to. She might be avoiding me on purpose. Hasn't even returned my phone messages on the machine. urk... one message in 5 months is lame.

mine's just an outline too... :p it just seems kinda strange and unfinished, pretty as it is. D: The other half of my chest is all finished.

start stakin' out her house! pirate

,, i guess you could try small claims court ? it sucks she ran out on you.
.. if i had a dollar for everytime someone asked if i let my 6year old at my arm with a marker, i could afford to finish my tattoo. lol
