so here are some posts from the tattoo bog on here that will expand on whats going on with the tattoo thing
so i had an appointent yesterday with a "friend" who just started working at the shop i usually go to. well my first app he had nothing ready and didnt even know what i wanted even though we had been emailing about it for months. we ended up rescheduling for 2 weeks later so he had time to draw up my tattoo and asked for a $140 deposit.
i texted him about an hour before my app and he texted back that he hadnt drawn anything up and he needed me to reschedule for next week. my first reaction was to call him up and bitch him out (i had already missed school for both of my appointments) but i took a breathe and text him back something like well i already missed class for this and i have had two appointments now and havent gotten anything. he then went on to tell me fuck you you are being a bitch dont bother to coming to my shop (ok he just started working there) or any clubs around here (yeah wtf?) and ill give you your money back wednesday.
my bf called the shop and talked to the owner (i was already in tears about this) the owner pretty much told him he didnt want anything to do with it and it was between me and the artist and my bf told him i better get my money back wed (tomorrow) or we are going to take the shop to small claims court.
i feel like i am totally being bullied by this shop. i told my friend who knew the artist about this and she said that another artist (who i happen to already have a tattoo by) did this exact same thing to her friend. i seems like too much to ask for some people to act professional. i do hair and if i would never ever ever treat any of my clients like this!
the shop is artistic element in yucaipa, california and the artist is marco, the owner roman, and the other artist that did this is whitney lenox. please never go here and if you know of anyone who plans on going here please advise them otherwhise! i am just truely hurt and disgusted by these peoples actions.
and now....
so he called my friend and told her that he would drop off my money at the shop. i went there at 5 to pick it up and the owner said he hadnt left anything and he hadnt been in in days. i guess th owner called him then cause the same girl called and said that he had called her again and said he wanted her (not me cause he doesnt want to see me, this is what he said) to go to a club tonight and pick up $100 cause he wanted the $40 as compensation for the drawing that he didnt even complete. i texted her back and told her to tell him (yeah the he said she said bullshit is really anoying the dick wont even face me) that he has a week to either give me the money or drop it off at the shop so i can pick it up or we are suing him in small claims court.
it just accured to me and my mom that if he wants to charge me $40 for the drawing then he owes me the drawing as well.
any advice on what i need to be doing is much appreciated
