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.
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

Unless he was referring to the tattoo being done badly, don't worry about it! Remember it was whoever got the tattoo that chose it, not you or your staff.. Everyone has different taste :)

Well a tattoo means something different to whoever gets it. So one person may think it's terrible but the person that actually has it on them may love it and it may have a meaning to them. There's tattoos I do not like on people but it has sentimental value to them. So honestly, it really matters when it comes to who actually got it done to themselves. If the customer hated it, that's when you should be concerned cuz it's on their body. Other than that, I wouldn't be too worried.

Well all that matters is if the customer like its.

Did he mean it was horrible because the art was bad or because they didn't care for the design. If they don't like the design that's more of an insult to the customer than you.

So what? If that person liked it, it doesn't matter.

Need to see a photo... Not sure if they meant that the actual tattoo design was horrible or how it was donez

Maybe it wasn't the quality but the actual tattoo (that you, the artist did solely by the customers request?)

Something my tattoo artist did on a customer ended up on a bad tattoo website. The quality was flawless (like looking at a photo), however, no amount of quality will save you from the fact that you have a tattoo of Charlie Sheen in Major League on your body.

Unless you made the tattoo yourself, there isn't really anything to worry about.

You need money to run a business. If her tattoo parlor gets a bad rep, then people will go elsewhere.

Doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad artist! I've seen some really appalling tattoos done by an amazing artist. It depends on the design!
