Ink Integrity: A Tale of Two Tattoo Artists
Our ‘Ink Seeker’ found himself in a sticky situation when his trusted tattoo artist, ‘Craig’, dropped a bombshell about the cost of the tattoo, which was significantly over budget. Despite having paid a deposit, our protagonist was left feeling cheated and decided to cut ties with Craig. He then found solace in the arms of a new artist, ‘Charles’, who not only created a superior design but also charged half the price. Meanwhile, Craig took to social media, subtly calling out his former client. But was our ‘Ink Seeker’ really in the wrong for choosing value and professionalism over loyalty? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this… ️♂️
“NTA. Artist’s unprofessionalism and lack of communication ruined the experience “
