Today, my friend sent me a link to a "horrible" tattoo that he found online, that a guy had gotten at my tattoo parlor. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was showing my unique new tattoo to my friends when a man approaches me with his digital camera and asks if he could take a picture of the tattoo for his website. I agreed. I find out later that it's a site about ugly tattoos. FML
Today, I checked my Tumblr account to see if anyone had commented on the photos of my new tattoo. There were only 3 posts, and 2 of them were people linking it to "Awful Tattoo" blogs. FML
For life
Today, I was getting my first tattoo done. My parents told me it was a bad idea. My friends' parents told me it was a bad idea. I told them that people get tattoos done all the time and nothing goes wrong. Fifty minutes into the tattoo on my back, the artist said, "Oh shit, shit, shit. We can fix this." FML
Memento
Today, my quite squeamish girlfriend came with me to get my latest tattoo. She saw a few drops of blood, screamed in the tattooist's ear, and completely fucked up part of the outline. She had to alter the tattoo drastically to cover up the mess and now it just looks bad. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that the phrase I got tattooed on my lower back is misspelled. FML
Today, I was looking at tattoos and fell in love with a really cool looking one, so I decided to get it. I later showed it to a friend who is a cop. He informed me that it is a gang tattoo. I think I just put a target on my ankle. FML
Dealbreaker
Today, unbeknownst to me, my boyfriend got a tattoo of the Joker on his neck. The worst part? It's Jared Leto's godawful Joker. FML
Today, a tattoo artist send me home without tattoo because the acne on my back has gotten so bad, he refused to work on such an 'unpredictable surface'. FML
Today, I found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. FML

Well OP it's a matter of opinion right? If the client was happy that's all that matters.

Maybe it was done right just not the best choice of tattoo by the customer.

After watching "Ink Master" I know that even great tattoo artists can do a bad tattoos. Hope it can be fixed. It would seem a good policy to have your parlor stand behind all their work. The clients are your walking advertisement after all.

OP, subjective or not, if it made it onto that site, it's probably a bad enough tattoo that anyone would consider it so. You may or may not have been the one to actually tattoo this particular customer, but I feel that this speaks volumes about the quality of service at that parlor. Sometimes, yes, it is the customer's fault (not taking care of it, wiggling while getting it, or cutting the session short), but it could also be caused by the artist's skill level, or lack thereof. If it's your art OP, own up to it. Find a way to get in touch with them and apologize and offer a free touch up, or a cover up at a discounted price. I would think that you would be just as irritated with someone who did a poor job tattooing you, fixing your car, or providing service with poor quality.

Was it their personal opinion or was the quality of your work just that poor?

Unless it looks like a kid did it I really wouldn't worry about it honestly. Different people like different tattoos. If the customer was happy with it then you shouldn't feel bad.

That's upsetting. I'd suggest telling him to see his reaction
