Sorry I let that out on you. Anyway, what I meant to say is I consider it the client's responsibility to research the design they've chosen for their tattoo; I only interpret the design in ink.

If YOU spell it wrong, that's your problem. (Granted, when I become a tattoo artist I will most likely refuse to do foreign languages on people without signed affadavits absolving me of any responsibility for screwing it up).<br><br>A particular episode of Miami Ink comes to mind, when Ami was asked to tattoo a highly stylized Italian word on the client - which the guy realized AFTER the tattoo was done, had been spelled wrong. Ami asked him repeatedly to just print it out in simple letters, but the guy wouldn't. It's not the tattoo artist's fault if someone's too stupid to get things straight before getting inked.<br><br>OF course he didn't have to reply in such a juvenile manner, but he shouldn't have been the butt of the joke in the first place. So, you're both wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919350949272858772.post-76474417891710370732006-08-01T14:10:00.000-07:002006-08-01T14:10:00.000-07:00What an insecure butthole!

And when someone points out the mistakes, they should be thankful that it was someone who was willing to discuss it in a calm manner, and mention their name only by referring to them as 'very talented' - after all, he may not realise, but there are many people out their on the interent who would just jump in there with abuse!
