OP here. Different username since I didn't have an account when I wrote this. Just thought I'd do a little follow up. As far as the no receipt thing, yea, I know, shame on me. I'm getting more work done on an existing tattoo and this is the place where I had started at, so I didn't think much of it. This particular shop is known for how great the artists there are, so it is worth the six month wait (to me at least). It ends up the guy I had made the appointment with had quit the shop and taken his appointment book with him, so they had to way to contact me about it and apparently he isn't as professional as I thought since he didn't contact me either to let me know he moved shops. The shop itself was able to move some things around and I'm still able to get my work done at my time, just with a new artist so everything has worked out. Thanks for all the comments!

Out of sheer curiosity, OP...what gender are you? There is a blue outline around you which says you are male, but you have the female symbol on the FML.

I'm a girl, I haven't done any of the profile edits for the username yet.
Personally, if I had one artist start a piece, I won't let anyone else touch it. My husband is the same way. We've had quite a few friends with ****** up art from doing that. I hope that's not the case with yours & that you got exactly what you set out to.
Did they ask you to put down another deposit? At least the shop has a more professional way of going about things, which is more than can be said about your ex-artist.

I love how most people are assuming OP didn't keep the receipt. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but he never said so. Also, just because someone is getting a tattoo, doesn't mean it'll get removed.
Read one comment above you.

Sketch. What kinda shop are you going to?
That's when you whip out your receipt homie
I booked well in advance for all four of mine. It's worth it in the end to wait for an artist you know and trust, rather than do a walk in and have them potentially **** you over. Hope everything works out OP
Why would you schedule that far out? I schedule a week before I'm getting it

Wow. Put a cash deposit down and don't request a receipt? Kinda dumb OP and most legitimate places would offer one...
I know a lot of people who would. Tattoos can be extremely risky and expensive. I would wait 6 months for a reputable, safe artist than to get an immediate appointment with an unsafe artist with a bad reputation. The only mistake on ops part would be not keeping the deposit receipt.
