No, fuck his thinking script is “art”, that he has the only say in what’s tacky, and his condescending (it seems) tude.

Wow, you just can’t see this situation from another persons point if view. Let me explain my interpretation of this specific situation. I’m not saying that either party is right or wrong (or even that I’m absolutely right or wrong), but my take on this is that Mr. Tattoo Artists was flexing in a bid to assert his…

Instead of responding to every nasty comment I’ve been left, let me explain my interpretation of this specific situation.

Don’t be so dramatic. This is not the case in this instance. Or in any case my husband has come across. Making up dramatic what ifs is not a fair comparison. Let’s be real, it’s tiny script with a child’s name. It’s not “art”.

But, in the end the decision is yours. You know what you want and like better than anybody else. At least you own the decision.

I'm sorry, but this guy essentially sanctioned himself master of good taste for somebody else. It wasn't a decision based on artwork. Please, a tiny bit of script isn't art anyway.

I see quite a few he’d been better off turning down. This is a guy who thinks a shitty tribal tattoo is “badass”.

I'd almost buy that....but then there's a dude with a giant ice cream cone on his face. So, no.

Neither one is good, but I stand by what I said. Anybody could sue for any reason, so let’s just ban tattoos altogether. Yeah, let's do that. Or maybe have committees set up to decide whether my personal taste meets their requirements.

My husband is an illustrator by degree and a graphic designer. As long as the quality of his talent is represented, the client gets the last word. This was a bit of tiny script. The artistic part was not the issue. It was the artist’s opinion that was. Based on that ice cream cone nightmare on that one client’s…

Well, if Dan is going to sanction himself as master of all that us tasteful then he can expect to hear a lot more of posts like this. If you went into a store to buy an item of clothing, but the designer refused to sell it to you because it was his/her opinion it looked bad on you, I bet you'd be annoyed too. Matters…

Honestly, the so called artist comes across as opinionated and self-righteous. Tattoo artists are not paid to opine about what is or isn’t tacky. They are paid to fulfill a client’s vision. And, I’m sorry, but a tiny bit of script is not “art”.

Yeah because that’s EXACTLY the same as a tiny bit of script with a child’s name.

Um, have you seen some of the shit work out there? Most would provided it wasn’t a health or safety issue. We should have unleashed Dan on the people with boobs that are practically in need of their own zip code and people who got horns implanted. Talk about bad decisions!

He has the right to refuse, but no good reason other than his opinion about a tattoo he will not be sporting. It's kind of a dick move.

What I meant was, she was going to be a paying customer who knew exactly what she wanted. If she’s willing to pay, let her have the tat she wants. Tacky or not.

Your dime, your neck. What IS the problem? Maybe your next tattoo should be a artistic representation of an asshat IHO of Dan-the-not-so-man.

The shoulder pads will float!

Meh. This isn’t anything until it reaches the Alexiss and Crystal stage.
