So upset with my experience a few years ago at Wild Ink in Oshawa, and now that I've gotten more tattoos and piercings from other shops, I now realize how uncomfortable and crappy my experience really was.
Because I walked in, and all my previous tattoos were covered up, they assumed I was a newbie. I explained I wanted my tattoo on my left wrist. They refused to do it there saying it wouldn't look good, and pressured me get it else where. After feeling defeated, I decided to get the tattoo on the back of my neck.. instead of getting it directly on my neck, he ended up doing the tattoo on my back between my shoulder blades, so it's not visible.... no where where I wanted it. The tattoo was a small signature of my mothers, that had past less than a week prior to me getting this tattoo. Instead of being compassionate, I was scoffed at, and asked if I could get my mom to re-write her signature bigger.. when I explain she had just past, and the small signature was all I had left, the artist huffed and was not impressed. Not only did I get a small signature that I can cover up with less than the length of my finger, but it cost me over $130 dollars, and it took less than 15 minutes of time, and was rushed. Overall it was an awful experience, and saddening experience. Instead of my tattoo being an uplifting reminder of my mother through a traumatic time, it's a constant reminder of the awful experience I had... I'm actually in the process of getting it covered up because the experience has left quite an imprint on me emotionally, and is poor quality due to being rushed.
MY fault, as I should have known better, and should have left when they started to compromise my opinions..To be fair though, I was in mourning, still grieving, and they took complete advantage of that situation.... The same occurrence happened with my father..
