KauaiPAS Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I’ve had the same artist complete all four of my tattoos. All are fairly large works. I love her work and it suits me perfectly. The most recent piece was done last week. We collaborated on a design and I approved the final piece. When I got home from the session, however, I noticed that an element of the design was missing – a perfectly innocent mistake, and something that could just be added at another session. I emailed the artist to tell her this and offered to pay for another session. I’ve gotten the silent treatment (no response) and cannot escape the feeling that I’ve somehow upset or offended her. My email to her had no criticism or accusation of any kind – I missed something in the original design and she missed it when doing the tattoo. I’ll happily pay to have it remedied but now she’s not responding. Did I trip up here? Should I have approached it another way? Is there a protocol for asking an artist to make some changes/additions to her own work? Like I said, I’ve worked with her many times before, paid promptly, tipped generously, recommended her to others – I’m a good client. But it feels like I messed up somehow. I want to make it right.

oboogie Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 She's probably just busy. Email her again. Or stop by the shop and chat with her about it.

KauaiPAS Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thank you. I'm paranoid and overly sensitive so I'm probably reading too much into it. oboogie 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8716-asking-an-artist-for-additions-to-a-tattoo/#findComment-145420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
