Yo pls update that first situation cause not only is the tattoo spelled wrong apparently she also completely sliced this poor girl up and went wayyy too hard with the needle and it’s like an open wound now
You should definitely do an update on this situation because the tattoo artist is absolutely in the wrong and completely lied about the situation. The misspelling is frankly the least of the issues here. In fact, you can't even read the tattoo at all because of the massive amounts of scarring that she caused to that poor woman's arm.
There’s a bit more context from the customer you’re missing because she made a response. The customer is darker skinned and the tattoo was GORED into her body, I couldn’t even read how it was misspelled when she showed it. Even if there was a cover up the scars are gonna show through, there’s a massive misconception in tattooing where people think darker skin is thicker and you need to press harder so that may be where the ire is coming from. I’d be pretty upset about it too tbh 🤷♂️
My guess is the client didn't know that it was misspelled until someone else saw the tattoo and pointed it out and she projected her embarrassment on the artist...
From what I understood the client found out right after the tattoo was finished? The artist mentioned the clients kid was there etc unless I misunderstood since she was super upset while explaining
the video says she noticed as she was leaving the shop, before she went to showing it off. maybe someone online said something, if she posted it in-shop? Def customers fault, if artist is telling the truth (which is def feels like she is!)
I was always tempted to get a No Regrats tattoo and see if anyone picked up on the irony. Love the concept of typo tattoos and would have rolled with that one.
Not only did the client look at the drawing on the iPad, she looked at the stencil on her body in the mirror, AND the artist took a picture of the stencil on her body and showed her… Client didn’t notice until she was walking out
@@sarge6283 I disagree, I place blame on the client. The artist did the design (and wrote the word out) that the CLIENT APPROVED MULTIPLE TIMES. The client who signed paperwork that states they are liable for a word they think is misspelled after they've approved it... multiple times. On the screen, as a stencil, and as a photo of how it would look on her. HER bad for being a B, calling the artist a dumb B.
The Tattoo lady Left the client scared other artists seeing it are calling it an open wound. Some people think its linked to her thinking black skin is tougher. But the client is basically mad cause she came on the internet lied about a lot of things. She charged 80 dollars to black out the old tattoo which took 5 mins. Apparently the Tattoo artist refunded the client and said she would fix it. After sending the refund she blocked her on all socials.
As someone with multiple tattoos, some of which have words, ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK SPELLING. I had like 5 people look at my words, and the lady who got tattoo'd is an absolute nightmare. She approved the design, it's on her. If I ever get a tattoo with a spelling mistake I am going to act like an adult and work with the artist to get it fixed.
Yeah, this woman getting a "love conquers all" tattoo is like the people who put "no drama" in their social media bio. They are nothing but drama, and this woman is anything but love.
Tattoo artist here! Unfortunately my mentor ALWAYS always said "the first tattoo you'll ever mess up is going to be words" and boy howdy he was right. I have felt EXACTLY how that artist feels and that shit eats you ALIVE. Mistakes can and will happen, and it always sucks. If you have a good artist just talk it out and make a plan because believe me that stuff makes you lose sleep at night
I imagine the people who commented on her TikTok never got a tattoo and don’t know the stencil process. As someone with 50+ hours of tattoo sessions behind me, that poor artist did not deserve the treatment from the customer at all. I asked artists to tattoo words and towns they didn’t know, so it’s 100% on me to check.
Maybe the "poor artist" should learn to spell at least at the level of an elementary school age child before working with needles. Man I can't believe people let you people draw permanent things on their body lol
I have a tattoo in language that my tattoo artist didn't speak and couldn't read so yes, I agree that it's customers responsibility to check the spelling EVEN IF the text is in a language that is native to the tattoo artist. Like wtf, it's insane to blame artists. I also know several tattoo artists with dyslexia and they're sweating bullets everytime tattooing words and emphasise that the person getting the tattoo should check the spelling. Why didn't the person getting the tattoo check the spelling on a stencil?
The woman who got tattooed has made videos in response. She's claimed she NEVER cussed the artist out, and when you see the tattoo, it's BAD. It's pretty much an open wound, the artist went WAY too hard and WAY too deep. The woman who got the tattoo is black, and it's clear that the artist does not have the experience working with darker skin tones, going way too hard and way too heavy like that is a very common thing with artists who think they HAVE to go that heavy in order to get the design visible on darker skin. It's not just the spelling, the tattoo itself is healing badly and is pretty much an open wound with how raw it is, and it's just all bad.
I JUST read this in the comment before yours but these are the first mention of that in the comments I’ve come across and have made it pretty far down the thread. YIKES this is a different situation altogether obviously the spelling was not the primary issue. Scary honestly! Hope the client is ok!
I would be furious as well, but not at the artist, at all. I go to them to tattoo me, not spell words for me. My secret trick to fixing a bad tattoo is to get way more tattoos, so that any bad ones can simply hide among the good ones.
@@tcaprecap1448 Exactly how I feel about it lol! Of course you'd be irritated by the situation but it's not really on them. It takes less than a minute to do a quick spell check.
That's not the tattoo artists fault. I have a buddy that tattoos in Arizona and they have a stipulation in the document that says it's up to them to spell check it. She doesn't need to be so upset about it. This happens.
It is on the artist as well. They were the one who tattooed it on that persons body. They should have also been checking the spelling before permanently altering someones body. If you've gotta put a stipulation in your contracts that if the artist spells it wrong then it isn't their fault then they're not a good artist. They should be double checking their own stencil.
I would say this probably applies mostly to names for words and languages they aren't fluent in. Possibly if a customer brings in their own design and it has a spelling error on it that isn't caught because that happens a lot. Sometimes you can look at a word and it looks right even though you look at it multiple times, but it's wrong. Just like in this situation. To blame on this goes on both the artists and the client because they both looked at it and the client okayed it. @@sarge6283
Same. Every shop I've been to has had a similar stipulation. Tattoo artists don't become tattoo artists because they're really good at spelling, and tons of words have multiple spellings.
@@sarge6283 She asked the customer multiple times. the customer gave the okay multiple times. Like. At that point, what else can you do?? Pester the customer???
@@sarge6283but what if it was a word that could be spelt in multiple different ways, like colour/color? What if it was a name? The stipulation makes sense to me because at there are a lot of situations in which it might not be immediately obvious to the artist _how_ the client wants it to be spelled.
The person who said they wouldn’t use any tattoo artist who makes them sign paperwork stating they aren’t responsible for the spelling would probably end up at some seedy trailer park tattoo shop that isn’t experienced enough to have that contract in place. Good businesses are usually the ones who have their ducks in a row on the legal side.
i'm not getting a tatttoo if i have to sign paperwork stating that i'm responsible for the aftercare, either! [for the sake of my ego, this is a Joke, i have tats and piercings, aftercare is my responsibility lol]
Yeah I'd rather sign a contract like that then have no contract and end up not being able to do anything about it when they inevitably screw up my tattoo because I didn't sign a contract lol. The contract is not just for the protection of the artist but for the protection of the client as well. That's what people don't get.
When I worked at a tattoo shop, if there was text at all, the exact phrase was on the paperwork/release form and the customer had to initial next to the text to confirm it’s correct. Text was always, at least, triple checked by multiple people.
And here was no clause about the artist/shop not being liable for misspellings. That is a bit weird. It should have to come to that, but it is possible a client could come in with a preprinted phrase with a misspelling, insist that they want that & then blame the artist for a misspelling.
@@lindseystein9676exactly, or if they want something in a different language that only the client can write in. in that situation there’s no way for the artist to check herself, and it would be on the client to figure out if she did it right
You should do an update video on this because they definitely weren't telling the whole story. The client showed the tattoo and it looks like it was literally craved into her skin.
That shouldn’t be that hard of a fix from “concuer” to conquer. The reason they aren’t responsible for misspellings is because people be wanting shit spelled all kinds of ways. So it could have just as easily been a situation where she wanted it spelled ”concuer” and the artist spelled it with a “q” .
I had the same thought! I was with someone when they got a memorial tattoo for their mother and the name ended up missing an 'r'. I immediately got to work with the stencils to figure out how to cram the letter in there. Luckily it was super easy since it was sinple cursive writing so she got it fixed up before she even got off of the table. Never been more relieved in my life
So she DID say she wanted "Love conquers all" with a line through it, so I assume that means she wanted it to look like the sentence had been crossed out
Yeah that customer was unhinged. The tattoo artist is a "dumb bitch" yet the customer literally got someone's name tattooed on her so she clearly doesn't have a history of making the smartest choices
Ngl misspelled words are extremely common in the tattoo industry which is why they don't exactly recommend cos of situations like this where both the artists and the client could be staring at for like 20 minutess and still miss it
Over 10 years ago I had "So long and thanks for all the fish" (if you know, you know) tattooed on my right forearm. The tattoo artist asked me to check the spelling, and after I said it was right, he asked me to check again, because he did not want to make any permanent spelling mistakes. When I said yes again he asked "Are you absolutely 100% sure?". I did come back to tattoo with him for several years. Also, he is one of those artists that prefer to do freehand than stencils (although the aforementioned sentence was in a stencil), and he does sketch some pretty big designs straight into the clients' skin, like full sleeves or backs, before actually tattooing them.
Honestly maybe I just find humor in everything but if I got that, I would just get a follow up tattoo with the wrong word underlined in red and then in italics somewhere off to the side “except spelling” 🤣
Well I don't believe in ritual scarification to mimic the appearance of demons, but that's quite amusing. It's good to have that kind of open minded outlook in life.
I'm a tattoo artist, The artist can only be responsible up to a certain degree on spelling, but the client who wants to get whatever text permanently tattooed on their body is mostly responsible for making sure the spelling / characters are correct. (ie: tattoos in different languages / script )
as a tattoo artist- do you agree with how this artist handled this situation? as a customer, i would see her video & stay far away from any shop that employs her. not only has she admittedly made spelling mistakes multiple times, she posts on the internet complaining about the customer who trusted her with their body to a response of thousands of people also sh*tting on the customer MOSTLY bc of how distraught the artist is in the video. which to me, is extremely manipulative. most people have missed the fact that this isn’t the first time she’s made this mistake but /now/ she’s going to start being extra careful with spelling? did she simply not care before?
@@princesscherry5217she checked with the client multiple times. As someone with tattoos I pay attention to what’s going on my body, it’s not like she change the spelling mid tattoo
@@larrackellspelling would not be a multiple mistake escapade for me personally. let’s talk specifics on these mistakes and not leave it so vague. of course every tat artist has made mistakes
@@princesscherry5217why is it manipulative? If someone is getting in my face and callin me a dumb bitch infront of my kid I’d probably get overwhelmed and cry too. At the end of it, the client completely shirked all accountability to attack the tattoo artist which is super shitty
I have five tattoos and the artists are happy to let you stare at a stencil until you are sure you are happy. My last tattoo was an "equalizer" on my right inner forearm for another one I had on my right inner forearm. The tattoo artist stencilled three times and examined with me each time to make sure that the two tattoos would be aligned. The third time I said, "Yes, that looks great" and he examines it for another minute and goes, "No. It's just slightly off. I can do better" and does it a fourth time to make sure he gets it perfect. These people are artists. They want to do right by you. It breaks my heart to see her crying like this.
Please make an update video on the crying tattoo artist. Seems like the client had received a scar from her and it’s really prominent- it’s bad. I knew that a one sided story with no response shown from the other side seemed odd and impossible to come up with a conclusion.
I'm still wondering how two adults, who presumably have driver's licenses, and can legally vote, can't spell "conquer" properly. That's elementary school vocabulary. It's seven letters. Two syllables. How do you not, as a native English speaker, know this? For everyone who criticizes the vocabulary and grammar police, this is exactly the kind of crap you get when you think proper spelling and grammar are NBD.😂
I agree with you. The customer approved it TWICE. Too bad so sad, the customer said it was great. Its not the artists fault for tattooing what the customer said was right. Like?!?! She also signed a contract saying the artist wasnt responsible for mispelled words. Contracts MEAN something. Too bad so sad, the customer should have been more on the ball and NOT said it was great TWICE . Personal responsibility is important. This is as someone who has worked in shops, and as a customer for decades. Spell check everything yourself and read the contracts you sign. @dismurrart6648
I’ve been getting tattoos for almost 30 years at a variety of shops all over the US. Every single release form has stated they are not responsible for misspelled tattoos. They don’t free hand and yeah…once you tell them the stencil is right the responsibility is on the client.
i'd say most tattoo artists have some form of "if it's misspelt it's not my fault" clause. some even have the client spell everything themselves. at the end of the day, yeah, its a pretty bad misspelling but the client didn't know how to spell it either, clearly.
I am heavily tattooed, and not a single artist didn't SHOW ME THE STENCIL BEFORE I APPROVED IT. This is the customer's fault, for sure. In fact, some of us get ironic/sarcastic tattoos, and shit isn't always spelled correctly...ON PURPOSE. This is NOT on the artist, if they were in a legit shop, had their client sign a waiver, and they showed their client a final approval.
They do not tell people that it also scars them depending on how deep they did it most people will still and do have the white scaring when they have fully faded a proper tattoo or stick on is probably best
The client came forward and turns out the tattoo artist wasn't telling the full story. The tattoo is so awful and the spelling mistake is frankly the least of the issues. That poor client has an open wound on her arm. It looks like the tattoo artist carved it into her skin. It's so bad. It's circulating on Twitter right now.
@@NellieNutkins She literally has deep marks on her arm. Yes that's an open wound. That's what tattoos are at first. That's why we cover them. That tattoo is going to become a chunk of scar tissue on that poor woman's arm all because of an incompetent tattoo artist who should not be in the profession.
Markie, not sure if you’ll see this but have you seen the update to this story of the incorrect spelling. It apparent wasn’t that, but the tattoo artist went too deep and sliced the poor woman’s arm open. I saw a thread on Twitter showing the pics and it’s horrific.
Man, I feel so bad for her. Not all prople have a thick skin as some people like to call it. or maybe she has social anxiety and cannot deal with being yelled at. I don't blame her at all. We all make mistakes and she showed the stencil to the client multiple times. I hope she can grow and learn to stay calm in these situations, forgive herself while also keeping the client is king mentality - but that doesn't mean being stepped on.
Funny how you'd phrase it as "not all people have a thick skin" when the client's arm literally looks like the artist carved into it with a knife. The artist didn't tell the whole story.
The ironic part of all of this is that the misspelling isn’t actually a real issue because it was just as much the customer’s fault as it was the tattoo artist’s. The real issue is the tattoo itself was an open wound. That tattoo artist did a horrible job at actually tattooing her skin, & that’s likely due to the myth that you need to go deeper into the skin for darker skin tones.
One of my cousins got a tattoo once that said "Only God can juge me". Posted the pic on fb and I was the first to notice the mistake and told him. He called his artist, told him about it, and the artist apologized and fixed it. If people talk like adults, things like that can be worked out.
With the "fading" tattoos i actually suspect they werent going as deep as they would for a regular tattoo, so its closer to the surface, and as their skin regenerated they lost the pigment...so its "fading" but thats because we shed skin, not because of the ink
The funny thing is ephemeral are now largely out of business and getting sued by multiple people. They can't have done enough testing on different skin types. But anyone who has been around tattoos a long time knows that different skin types soak up colours and black differently. I'm lucky that my skin loves colour as much as I do - even yellow which fades fast for some people *sticks* for me. I couldn't imagine going through the process of an actual tattoo hoping it'll fade in a year, just get inkbox at that point. Yeah it's a shorter period again, but no needles or scarring risk (short of a severe allergic reaction)
This shouldn't have even been that big of a deal. She actually got lucky with this word and it's really easy to turn concour into conquer with the right artistic design. It's not like she misspelled Heaven like Hevin or something that's incredibly hard to readjust.
I think the ephemeral studio in my area is still open. The ink is supposed to be plant based and biodegradable so it's removed by your body over time. Problem is different bodies process things differently. So one person's immune system can clear the ink out in a year and another person's body takes longer. Their website says it can take up to around 3 years to clear the ink now. Im pretty sure the website used to say 2 years at most. It seems like they're extending their time estimates as more and more people's bodies are just holding onto the ink.
Of COURSE there’s going to be a paper to sign about miss spelling. Nobody knows all the words in all of the languages. It’s up to the person that wants it permanently on their body. If I wanted something written in another language or something. There are just reasons that make sense to have people sign something like that.
HA im currently about to start a tattoo listening to this doing my set up. Theyre tattoo artists not spelling bee champions. She had the design, the stencil and the stencil on before tattooing to correct it, She could have changed it at any time she probably sent a picture to a friend who pointed out that it was wrong, she probably didnt even notice it. It has a line through it just say thats why
The "permanent" makeup fades though. But I feel like maybe people are likely to exfoliate their faces more frequently than the rest of their body and that would make a difference. Regular tattoos do fade over time though, I have one on my chest that I got almost exactly 30 years ago that has faded a lot but it is also in color, there's no black ink it at all, and it's had a lot of sun exposure both of which are also factors that will make tattoos fade. But it's tiny and now that I'm old, no one sees it other than my doctor and the mammogram tech. 😂
It actually does there’s a shop here in LA that does it a friend of mine from the Masonic Lodge has one on his neck that’s been fading. He’s actually getting it photographed today because it looks super cool. I’ll broken to get it tattooed permanently that way, but it does. I think there’s only a few shops in the United States right now that have it, but it is a thing.
Put face tattoos like browse lips Etc the reason they fade so quickly is because people are very oily compared to other parts of their body . When I got my brows done they told me they will probably fade in a few years just because I was extra oily of a person 😅@@phaedrapage4217
The update is that the client is a black woman who was left with an open wound and now will have to deal with a keloid scar. Please don’t be biased Markie. The tattoo artist was unprofessional and put clients at risk
Even if I was mad I would not verbally abuse the tattoo artist. Is it an expensive mistake? Yes! But its horrid to be so verbally cruel to someone for something that can be fixed. Something that you gave the okay for multiple times too!
I have a lot tattoo artist friends and all of them have that contract. It's basically saying I'm not liable if it gets infected.If you mess up the spelling or I mess up the spelling.And that's because they show you over and over and over. Some will make you come back after 20:04 hours.They want you to really look at it and decide if you want it. Others they give you 10 up 15 minutes.Just sit alone and decide.
My very first tattoo has a mistake. It happened so fast I didn't stop him in time, but I had the word Qyv tattoo'd on me, and that was how it was stenciled on me. He added .'s between the letters at the end, cos I guess he thought it wasn't a word! I don't care, it's been 20+ years and I just laugh about it. I could have had the dots covered by a pattern around it or something, but it does make for a funny story.
He probably laughs about it, too. It's one of those things he probably randomly thinks about now days and thinks "I can't believe I did that." Lol. I think we all have those moments when we remember something silly we did years ago 😂
I am covered in tattoos, EVERY SINGLE tattoo I have gotten has me sign the same type of paperwork, I have copies of each one and EVERY ONE of them has the same clause of - Artist is NOT responsible for misspelling of any words. Along with - Artist is not responsible for any color changes/differences that could happen on a tattoo with age. Anyone saying they would "find a different artist" if things said that are lying and never read their contracts they signed. OR dont have tattoos.
Its not the sole job of the tatt artist to spell check, as a customer YOU should be checking that the thing youre putting on you for the rest of your life is correct. I think the fix should be free, but its not the job of the artists alone.
The waiver for misspelling is REALLY understandable. I have a tattoo in Spanish. How on earth would I expect my artist to be fluent in Spanish so they can check the spelling and grammar?!
Im on your side...it was autocorrected, sure but the customer seen the stencil a few times...thats when you should check everything thoroughly, not just glance over it
Why would auto-correct change a word to a non-existent word? Everyone is defending the artist here, but she is the one providing a very permanent service. If it were just an auto-correct issue, wouldn't she have noticed it in the hours that she was tattooing? If you are not a good speller, no shade (I am a dyslexia teacher, I get it), but you need to be triple checking your work before you forever etch it into someone's skin. (The customer may have just looked at the design and missed the spelling error. In that sense, she would have learned a valuable lesson about being more thorough before approving it.) I think in the end, it is the artist's fault, albeit an accident, and she should try to make the situation better for her, understandably, upset customer.
@@miss_daniele_83 1) its in the video 2) template and stencil will be given multiple times. If there was error in spelling, the customer should also thoroughly give it a check because its going on THEIR skin 3) she did try to make it better
@miss_daniele_83 If someone is getting something they know will be permanent on their body and also they should know what they signed. Most artists don't really pay attention to the tattoos they are doing since they do it for a job and its not very significant to them and they expect the customer to say the things they dont like. (Obviously artists arent all the same but most of the ones i know are) and the customer should know and say what they want. Its like blaming a cook for making a meal with onions in it when they showed you the ingredients they were gonna put in. (Random example but it works lol)
@@miss_daniele_83 I thought she said autocorrect didn’t run without her knowledge when it was supposed to. Hence her thinking it had been auto corrected. Also some people try to scam artists when they notice something’s wrong by not saying anything until it’s over. They think they’ll have the right to compensation, so they just stay quiet. The clause is to protect artists from that, so it’s actually the client that has the responsibility to do what you’re saying. Obviously a good artist tries their best, and it sounded like she did. She said she wasn’t supposed to tattoo that day and her daughter was with her… I wouldn’t expect anyone in that position to catch a detail like that. I wonder if the client had insisted on that time slot, since she wasn’t supposed to have an appointment, and just personally I would have rescheduled the moment I realized she had a kid to watch.
there has actually been an update to spiggs's situation, spiggs actually cut open her clients skin and im pretty sure the tattoo is infected now because of it
I feel for the artist because obviously it must suck to do that but at the end of the day if the client approves it then that’s on them. Every tattoo I’ve ever gotten I’ve looked over really closely. You don’t know what a clients vision is so that’s like the whole freaking part of approving it. Edit: omg have ppl in her comments never gotten a tattoo before? That’s a standard clause in every tattoo I’ve ever gotten.
okay im coming back to this video bc the client posted her side of the story. this tattoo artist is definitely in the wrong. the client said she agrees that she couldve looked at it better to check. but the client never cussed at her, got aggressive w her, or called her all those names. that tattoo looks like the artist went WAYY too deep in her skin and it looks terrible, it literally looks like a wound. briggs also sent the girl her money back (client didnt ask for her money back) and blocked her. she even blocked the client on tiktok when she was trying to ask why briggs was lying abt the situation. while the client does have some fault here, briggs is definitely way more in the wrong here
Is it dumb that she misspelled it? Sure is. Is it the fault of the artist? Absolutely not. It's not as though she free handed it, she put a stencil on with the words misspelled before she did the tattoo. That is the moment that any issues you have with the design should be mentioned. It is 100% the responsibility of the client to make sure things are the way they want them.
I almost witnessed a spelling mistake once and spoke up because neither the artist or the customer were realising. IT CAN HAPPEN! it's your body so it's your responsibility before it's the artist's, they didn't do it on purpose.
Btw this situation got a lot worse, the tattoo artist is the one who f-ed up big time. She also apparently lied about some stuff. And completely butchered the poor client's arm.
The person who said "I'm looking for an artist who doesn't make me sign paperwork that says they're not responsible for misspellings" is going to be looking for a while. All tattoo shops make you sign liability waivers.
It’s totally normal to sign - it’s typical along with all the other waiver stuff you have to sign - I would be worried if you Didn’t have something to sign as that shows a lack of experience
I have a judge dredd/fallout tattoo with "eat Recycled Food" on my arm. My artist told me straight up that tattoos with words tend to have mistakes or be misspelled. We checked 6 times that it was correct. Then partway through he paused to check again just in case. It turned out fine BUT that being said, it was my 5th tattoo and literally every place I've gone to had me sign something waiving any responsibility on the part of the artist for misspellings or mistakes. Not only is it normal, but it is the STANDARD. I've even cautioned my partner against getting tattoos that are wordsy because mistakes are so common. I mean, remember Energy angel? Remember Murpy's law? It's a risk you are taking as a canvas.
My most recent tattoo has the word "breathing" in it and when the gal wrote it out, she forgot the "r". I caught it and she fixed it, if I hadn't, I should probably check myself before calling someone a crappy name. We're all human and make mistakes, it's up to you to make sure none end up on your body. Not to mention, seems like changing a c to a q wouldn't be that hard or make it look crazy depending on the script she used.
I totally agree with you, I only have one tattoo but my experience was just like yours - I got a print of the tattoo first and placed it on my body, looked at it a million times. Then the stencil was used to sketch the tattoo on my body, and I got to look at it again. I had a lot of opportunities to notice any mistakes or ask to get them fixed. If my tattoo included text and it was misspelled, I’d totally blame myself and not the artist, because I was the one who approved the design with a misspelling in it.
It’s definitely always the customers fault if they were shown the tattoo first or didn’t look at the stencil before the tattoo was started. My husband has a misspelled tattoo on his arm and we just laughed cause I mean what are ya gonna do? It’s his fault for not knowing how to spell something before getting it permanently on his skin. And my husband still goes back to the same guy, no grudges. The artist needs a little back bone though, you can feel sorry for them and say “yeah that sucks, we can try to fix it if you want real quick or when I’m doing free touch ups I’ll fix it then but take this as a lesson to check everything before we get started” getting emotional and freak out is just going to make the customer freak out even more.
ive only been in shops where you had to sign a waiver stating theyre not at fault and i never thought twice about it. i get why they have to do that and it was just never a big deal to me 👀 on top of that they do ask multiple times for you to verify before they start, both on the ipad, once its printed, and once the stencil is on the skin.
Big hugs to this Artist!! Happened to me and the artist, myself AND another artist missed it lol My friend noticed it. I went back and she fixed it. There’s NO NEED to be so awful when YOU also checked it. Some people are just awful!
It's so funny you say they went out of business, I got an email this morning (10 April) saying "they've been busy and opening new locations in 18 new cities. I have 13 permanent tattoos but I did consider getting one in a spot I wasn't certain about with the design placement. I never went through with it, but I guess I'm still on the corporate mailing list.
I have a tattoo that’s a direct quote. The tattoo artist asked ME if it was correct. The only things they asked were punctuation like if I want the comma, if I want “we’d” with the ‘, and if I want a period at the end of it or not. I checked it on the iPad, I checked the stencil, I checked online to make sure it matched before he got the needle out. This was MY FIRST EVER TATTOO AT 18 AND I KNEW THIS ! Yes I’d be so upset if it was wrong. But it would also be my fault as well for not checking it myself.
We’re so close to 500k it’s making me anxious 😂 love you markie!

She actually botched the tattoo more than just the words. She went too deep and scarred her client. And she makes the mistake of misspelling often. It's all over tik tok. People see her crying and immediately take her side. She actually made a huge mistake and is making herself the victim.
Tattoo artists are artists, and ultimately it is the customers responsibility to ensure that what they are getting is correct. Obviously tattoo artists should take every reasonable precaution - which is what it sounds like she did. Regardless of what anyone believes about where the fault lies, it should go without saying that verbally abusing someone is never the right way to go about any situation. I really feel for that tattoo artist 💔
I have a quote on my arm from my favorite song of all time. It was fundamental to my life growing up. It helped me grow. I triple checked every word before it was tattooed on me... The docs you sign have a stipulation for a reason. You could want something misspelled on purpose. That poor tattoo artist didn't deserve any of that
This happened to my friend when he was 17. He shows up to my house so excited to show me his tattoo. I had to be the one to tell him it was spelled wrong🫣
the client actually came forward recently and her tattoo was BAD. the artist went wayyy too deep on her skin and it looks awful. also she said she never cussed her out. i think these are crocodile tears cuz she knows she was wrong. 50/50 fault to me. artist went too hard and can’t spell a word that is tattooed VERY often on people. and the client should definitely have checked if the spelling was right cuz it’s YOUR tattoo.
Every tattoo place I have been too, on the consent/ declaration form when you sign in, it asks if you have an words in your tattoo and for you to write them out. Then asks you to sign that that's what you want, and that you are aware any spelling errors written down may be used and it's not the artists fault. It seems like a good safety net for tattoo artists to use.
also she didn't send the idea ahead of time, she just said "oh can we do this while we're here." if she's cruel enough to walk back in and call the artist a dumb bitch then imo she deserves that misspelled tattoo lmfao...
Yo pls update that first situation cause not only is the tattoo spelled wrong apparently she also completely sliced this poor girl up and went wayyy too hard with the needle and it’s like an open wound now
You should definitely do an update on this situation because the tattoo artist is absolutely in the wrong and completely lied about the situation. The misspelling is frankly the least of the issues here. In fact, you can't even read the tattoo at all because of the massive amounts of scarring that she caused to that poor woman's arm.
NO REGERTS !!!
Hahaha, no ragrets 😎
😂😂😂
I was hungry!
That’s one of the best tattoo misspells I’ve ever seen personally
No ragrets
There’s a bit more context from the customer you’re missing because she made a response.
The customer is darker skinned and the tattoo was GORED into her body, I couldn’t even read how it was misspelled when she showed it. Even if there was a cover up the scars are gonna show through, there’s a massive misconception in tattooing where people think darker skin is thicker and you need to press harder so that may be where the ire is coming from. I’d be pretty upset about it too tbh 🤷♂️
My guess is the client didn't know that it was misspelled until someone else saw the tattoo and pointed it out and she projected her embarrassment on the artist...
Absolutely 👏
Exactly what I was thinking.
Yuup
From what I understood the client found out right after the tattoo was finished? The artist mentioned the clients kid was there etc unless I misunderstood since she was super upset while explaining
the video says she noticed as she was leaving the shop, before she went to showing it off. maybe someone online said something, if she posted it in-shop? Def customers fault, if artist is telling the truth (which is def feels like she is!)
The irony of getting a love conquers all tattoo, and then being so hateful to the tattoo artist is very blatant.
That’s why they wanted it cross out💁🏼♀️
But love concurs all.
@@rustymustard7798 😂
Love concurs all works, just means you agree with those you love.
I was always tempted to get a No Regrats tattoo and see if anyone picked up on the irony. Love the concept of typo tattoos and would have rolled with that one.
But didnt she show the client first? If she showed the client then its the customers fault too.
Exactly…I have wording on me and I say there for at least half an hour to make sure it was spelt perfectly
Yep. It's both of their faults.
Not only did the client look at the drawing on the iPad, she looked at the stencil on her body in the mirror, AND the artist took a picture of the stencil on her body and showed her… Client didn’t notice until she was walking out
No regerts.
@@sarge6283 I disagree, I place blame on the client. The artist did the design (and wrote the word out) that the CLIENT APPROVED MULTIPLE TIMES. The client who signed paperwork that states they are liable for a word they think is misspelled after they've approved it... multiple times. On the screen, as a stencil, and as a photo of how it would look on her. HER bad for being a B, calling the artist a dumb B.
The Tattoo lady Left the client scared other artists seeing it are calling it an open wound. Some people think its linked to her thinking black skin is tougher. But the client is basically mad cause she came on the internet lied about a lot of things. She charged 80 dollars to black out the old tattoo which took 5 mins. Apparently the Tattoo artist refunded the client and said she would fix it. After sending the refund she blocked her on all socials.
As someone with multiple tattoos, some of which have words, ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK SPELLING. I had like 5 people look at my words, and the lady who got tattoo'd is an absolute nightmare. She approved the design, it's on her. If I ever get a tattoo with a spelling mistake I am going to act like an adult and work with the artist to get it fixed.
Yeah, this woman getting a "love conquers all" tattoo is like the people who put "no drama" in their social media bio. They are nothing but drama, and this woman is anything but love.
@@m0L3ify I mean, she asked for it crossed out, so clearly she doesn't believe in it.
Tattoo artist here! Unfortunately my mentor ALWAYS always said "the first tattoo you'll ever mess up is going to be words" and boy howdy he was right. I have felt EXACTLY how that artist feels and that shit eats you ALIVE. Mistakes can and will happen, and it always sucks. If you have a good artist just talk it out and make a plan because believe me that stuff makes you lose sleep at night
I imagine the people who commented on her TikTok never got a tattoo and don’t know the stencil process. As someone with 50+ hours of tattoo sessions behind me, that poor artist did not deserve the treatment from the customer at all.
I asked artists to tattoo words and towns they didn’t know, so it’s 100% on me to check.
Agreed!
Maybe the "poor artist" should learn to spell at least at the level of an elementary school age child before working with needles. Man I can't believe people let you people draw permanent things on their body lol
I have a tattoo in language that my tattoo artist didn't speak and couldn't read so yes, I agree that it's customers responsibility to check the spelling EVEN IF the text is in a language that is native to the tattoo artist. Like wtf, it's insane to blame artists. I also know several tattoo artists with dyslexia and they're sweating bullets everytime tattooing words and emphasise that the person getting the tattoo should check the spelling. Why didn't the person getting the tattoo check the spelling on a stencil?
@@badinstructor6806true! My tattoo artist has dyslexia.
So what about now?
The woman who got tattooed has made videos in response. She's claimed she NEVER cussed the artist out, and when you see the tattoo, it's BAD. It's pretty much an open wound, the artist went WAY too hard and WAY too deep. The woman who got the tattoo is black, and it's clear that the artist does not have the experience working with darker skin tones, going way too hard and way too heavy like that is a very common thing with artists who think they HAVE to go that heavy in order to get the design visible on darker skin.
It's not just the spelling, the tattoo itself is healing badly and is pretty much an open wound with how raw it is, and it's just all bad.
I JUST read this in the comment before yours but these are the first mention of that in the comments I’ve come across and have made it pretty far down the thread. YIKES this is a different situation altogether obviously the spelling was not the primary issue. Scary honestly! Hope the client is ok!
JESUS that tattoo looked bad.
I would be livid but as someone who is, at this point, covered in tattoos - I'd mostly be upset with myself for not catching it.
I would be furious as well, but not at the artist, at all. I go to them to tattoo me, not spell words for me. My secret trick to fixing a bad tattoo is to get way more tattoos, so that any bad ones can simply hide among the good ones.
@@tcaprecap1448 Exactly how I feel about it lol! Of course you'd be irritated by the situation but it's not really on them. It takes less than a minute to do a quick spell check.
doesn't relate to your comment, i just wanted to say that if that's you in ur pfp, you are absolutely beautiful omg
@@violaisfree Oh wow, was not expecting to read that. Thank you so much 💖
So no one saw her response? You can tell the tattoo artist CARVED her dang skin open 😂😂
That's not the tattoo artists fault. I have a buddy that tattoos in Arizona and they have a stipulation in the document that says it's up to them to spell check it. She doesn't need to be so upset about it. This happens.
It is on the artist as well. They were the one who tattooed it on that persons body. They should have also been checking the spelling before permanently altering someones body. If you've gotta put a stipulation in your contracts that if the artist spells it wrong then it isn't their fault then they're not a good artist. They should be double checking their own stencil.
I would say this probably applies mostly to names for words and languages they aren't fluent in. Possibly if a customer brings in their own design and it has a spelling error on it that isn't caught because that happens a lot. Sometimes you can look at a word and it looks right even though you look at it multiple times, but it's wrong. Just like in this situation.
To blame on this goes on both the artists and the client because they both looked at it and the client okayed it. @@sarge6283
Same. Every shop I've been to has had a similar stipulation. Tattoo artists don't become tattoo artists because they're really good at spelling, and tons of words have multiple spellings.
@@sarge6283 She asked the customer multiple times. the customer gave the okay multiple times.
Like. At that point, what else can you do?? Pester the customer???
@@sarge6283but what if it was a word that could be spelt in multiple different ways, like colour/color? What if it was a name? The stipulation makes sense to me because at there are a lot of situations in which it might not be immediately obvious to the artist _how_ the client wants it to be spelled.
The person who said they wouldn’t use any tattoo artist who makes them sign paperwork stating they aren’t responsible for the spelling would probably end up at some seedy trailer park tattoo shop that isn’t experienced enough to have that contract in place. Good businesses are usually the ones who have their ducks in a row on the legal side.
Seriously! You have to sign paperwork to get a piercing. Of course your going to have to do that for a freaking tattoo. Especially if it has wording.
i'm not getting a tatttoo if i have to sign paperwork stating that i'm responsible for the aftercare, either!
[for the sake of my ego, this is a Joke, i have tats and piercings, aftercare is my responsibility lol]
Yeah I'd rather sign a contract like that then have no contract and end up not being able to do anything about it when they inevitably screw up my tattoo because I didn't sign a contract lol. The contract is not just for the protection of the artist but for the protection of the client as well. That's what people don't get.
When I worked at a tattoo shop, if there was text at all, the exact phrase was on the paperwork/release form and the customer had to initial next to the text to confirm it’s correct. Text was always, at least, triple checked by multiple people.
And here was no clause about the artist/shop not being liable for misspellings. That is a bit weird. It should have to come to that, but it is possible a client could come in with a preprinted phrase with a misspelling, insist that they want that & then blame the artist for a misspelling.
@@lindseystein9676exactly, or if they want something in a different language that only the client can write in. in that situation there’s no way for the artist to check herself, and it would be on the client to figure out if she did it right
You should do an update video on this because they definitely weren't telling the whole story. The client showed the tattoo and it looks like it was literally craved into her skin.
yeah i just found out what really happened. you can't even tell what the tattoo says because of the MASSIVE SCAR.
That shouldn’t be that hard of a fix from “concuer” to conquer. The reason they aren’t responsible for misspellings is because people be wanting shit spelled all kinds of ways. So it could have just as easily been a situation where she wanted it spelled ”concuer” and the artist spelled it with a “q” .
I didn’t even realise that, wouldn’t that be just one line extra?
2:07 she said she spelled it "concour"
I had the same thought! I was with someone when they got a memorial tattoo for their mother and the name ended up missing an 'r'. I immediately got to work with the stencils to figure out how to cram the letter in there. Luckily it was super easy since it was sinple cursive writing so she got it fixed up before she even got off of the table. Never been more relieved in my life
@@carterzealand5423 shittttt
I think that instead of "conquers" she might have tattooed "concourse" or something similar, and that'd be harder to fix.
It’s low key hilarious the first customer wanted a heart with her exs name covered up and love conquers all” in the same sesh
😂😂😂😂😂
So she DID say she wanted "Love conquers all" with a line through it, so I assume that means she wanted it to look like the sentence had been crossed out
@@WaitinInAmber ooo damn that’s actually clever. But also maybe a bit psycho 😂
Yeah that customer was unhinged. The tattoo artist is a "dumb bitch" yet the customer literally got someone's name tattooed on her so she clearly doesn't have a history of making the smartest choices
Ngl misspelled words are extremely common in the tattoo industry which is why they don't exactly recommend cos of situations like this where both the artists and the client could be staring at for like 20 minutess and still miss it
Over 10 years ago I had "So long and thanks for all the fish" (if you know, you know) tattooed on my right forearm. The tattoo artist asked me to check the spelling, and after I said it was right, he asked me to check again, because he did not want to make any permanent spelling mistakes. When I said yes again he asked "Are you absolutely 100% sure?". I did come back to tattoo with him for several years. Also, he is one of those artists that prefer to do freehand than stencils (although the aforementioned sentence was in a stencil), and he does sketch some pretty big designs straight into the clients' skin, like full sleeves or backs, before actually tattooing them.
what a cool frood
“Reality is frequently inaccurate.”
Honestly maybe I just find humor in everything but if I got that, I would just get a follow up tattoo with the wrong word underlined in red and then in italics somewhere off to the side “except spelling” 🤣
😂 brilliant, I love this idea
Or possibly wait for the relationship to fail and then it's accurate.
This would be amazing lmao
Well I don't believe in ritual scarification to mimic the appearance of demons, but that's quite amusing. It's good to have that kind of open minded outlook in life.
@@CandiceGoddard The what to what now??
She’s devastated and I am having a hard time even listening to her distress. My heart. Everyone makes mistakes big and small.
I'm a tattoo artist, The artist can only be responsible up to a certain degree on spelling, but the client who wants to get whatever text permanently tattooed on their body is mostly responsible for making sure the spelling / characters are correct. (ie: tattoos in different languages / script )
as a tattoo artist- do you agree with how this artist handled this situation? as a customer, i would see her video & stay far away from any shop that employs her. not only has she admittedly made spelling mistakes multiple times, she posts on the internet complaining about the customer who trusted her with their body to a response of thousands of people also sh*tting on the customer MOSTLY bc of how distraught the artist is in the video. which to me, is extremely manipulative. most people have missed the fact that this isn’t the first time she’s made this mistake but /now/ she’s going to start being extra careful with spelling? did she simply not care before?
@@princesscherry5217she checked with the client multiple times. As someone with tattoos I pay attention to what’s going on my body, it’s not like she change the spelling mid tattoo
@@princesscherry5217 i find it hard to believe you as a tattoo artist haven't made a single mistake, let alone two
@@larrackellspelling would not be a multiple mistake escapade for me personally. let’s talk specifics on these mistakes and not leave it so vague. of course every tat artist has made mistakes
@@princesscherry5217why is it manipulative? If someone is getting in my face and callin me a dumb bitch infront of my kid I’d probably get overwhelmed and cry too. At the end of it, the client completely shirked all accountability to attack the tattoo artist which is super shitty
tattoo proofreading is always the clients responsibility because its art and some people spell stuff wrong on purpose to be "quirky and creative"
I have five tattoos and the artists are happy to let you stare at a stencil until you are sure you are happy. My last tattoo was an "equalizer" on my right inner forearm for another one I had on my right inner forearm. The tattoo artist stencilled three times and examined with me each time to make sure that the two tattoos would be aligned. The third time I said, "Yes, that looks great" and he examines it for another minute and goes, "No. It's just slightly off. I can do better" and does it a fourth time to make sure he gets it perfect. These people are artists. They want to do right by you. It breaks my heart to see her crying like this.
Please make an update video on the crying tattoo artist. Seems like the client had received a scar from her and it’s really prominent- it’s bad.
I knew that a one sided story with no response shown from the other side seemed odd and impossible to come up with a conclusion.
The customer is at fault. They ask you several times is this correct? DOUBLE CHECK IT!
I'm still wondering how two adults, who presumably have driver's licenses, and can legally vote, can't spell "conquer" properly. That's elementary school vocabulary. It's seven letters. Two syllables. How do you not, as a native English speaker, know this?
For everyone who criticizes the vocabulary and grammar police, this is exactly the kind of crap you get when you think proper spelling and grammar are NBD.😂
Yeah there is some of it on the artist, but also, if I have something spelled wrong and miss it, it's on me as the customer
That isn't how tattoos work.
@@Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard yeah it is? If you aren't asked at least 2 times if you approve, them your artist did you dirty
I agree with you. The customer approved it TWICE. Too bad so sad, the customer said it was great. Its not the artists fault for tattooing what the customer said was right. Like?!?! She also signed a contract saying the artist wasnt responsible for mispelled words.
Contracts MEAN something. Too bad so sad, the customer should have been more on the ball and NOT said it was great TWICE .
Personal responsibility is important. This is as someone who has worked in shops, and as a customer for decades.
Spell check everything yourself and read the contracts you sign.
@dismurrart6648
I’ve been getting tattoos for almost 30 years at a variety of shops all over the US. Every single release form has stated they are not responsible for misspelled tattoos. They don’t free hand and yeah…once you tell them the stencil is right the responsibility is on the client.
i'd say most tattoo artists have some form of "if it's misspelt it's not my fault" clause. some even have the client spell everything themselves. at the end of the day, yeah, its a pretty bad misspelling but the client didn't know how to spell it either, clearly.
I am heavily tattooed, and not a single artist didn't SHOW ME THE STENCIL BEFORE I APPROVED IT. This is the customer's fault, for sure. In fact, some of us get ironic/sarcastic tattoos, and shit isn't always spelled correctly...ON PURPOSE. This is NOT on the artist, if they were in a legit shop, had their client sign a waiver, and they showed their client a final approval.
Ya she said she approved it many times I blame the customer
The Ephemeral tattoos end up looking like poorly done at-home stick n poke tattoos. I don't get it either.
They do not tell people that it also scars them depending on how deep they did it most people will still and do have the white scaring when they have fully faded a proper tattoo or stick on is probably best
The irony of wanting a tattoo that says love conquers all, but she’s being hateful AF.
She wanted it crossed out so there you go ig
did you see the client’s response video? really makes you think about taking one side of the story for face value.
The client came forward and turns out the tattoo artist wasn't telling the full story. The tattoo is so awful and the spelling mistake is frankly the least of the issues. That poor client has an open wound on her arm. It looks like the tattoo artist carved it into her skin. It's so bad. It's circulating on Twitter right now.
@@ava_marie_v nah I saw the clients videos on TikTok - ain’t no open wound.
@@NellieNutkins She literally has deep marks on her arm. Yes that's an open wound. That's what tattoos are at first. That's why we cover them. That tattoo is going to become a chunk of scar tissue on that poor woman's arm all because of an incompetent tattoo artist who should not be in the profession.
Lol! I was thinking "conquers" was misspelt as "conkers". That might actually have been amusing.
If I had “conkers” on my tattoo I would def keep it, I think it would be super funny
Conkers sounds like a fun racial slur.
Markie, not sure if you’ll see this but have you seen the update to this story of the incorrect spelling. It apparent wasn’t that, but the tattoo artist went too deep and sliced the poor woman’s arm open. I saw a thread on Twitter showing the pics and it’s horrific.
Man, I feel so bad for her. Not all prople have a thick skin as some people like to call it. or maybe she has social anxiety and cannot deal with being yelled at. I don't blame her at all. We all make mistakes and she showed the stencil to the client multiple times. I hope she can grow and learn to stay calm in these situations, forgive herself while also keeping the client is king mentality - but that doesn't mean being stepped on.
Thick skin not even relevant here being called a dumb B!tch is BEYOND unacceptable at that point the appointment is over toodles 👋🏻
Funny how you'd phrase it as "not all people have a thick skin" when the client's arm literally looks like the artist carved into it with a knife. The artist didn't tell the whole story.
Hey you should do an update video! The client did a video and showed the tattoo and its horrifically done, practically gouged into her arm!
Ephemeral tattoos are basically the "what happens in vegas, stays in vegas" of body art 😅 it doesnt and vegas changed their slogan lol
Really? What's the new slogan for vegas?
The ironic part of all of this is that the misspelling isn’t actually a real issue because it was just as much the customer’s fault as it was the tattoo artist’s. The real issue is the tattoo itself was an open wound. That tattoo artist did a horrible job at actually tattooing her skin, & that’s likely due to the myth that you need to go deeper into the skin for darker skin tones.
The second part reminds me of stick and poke tattoos. They don’t fade like people expect
One of my cousins got a tattoo once that said "Only God can juge me". Posted the pic on fb and I was the first to notice the mistake and told him. He called his artist, told him about it, and the artist apologized and fixed it. If people talk like adults, things like that can be worked out.
At least he wrote judge in French, it was the correct spelling somewhere:-)
@@ellaella5537French? Even worse.
With the "fading" tattoos i actually suspect they werent going as deep as they would for a regular tattoo, so its closer to the surface, and as their skin regenerated they lost the pigment...so its "fading" but thats because we shed skin, not because of the ink
hahah me when I first started & was scared to go deep enough & so bits of ink would fall out I should’ve just rebranded them as ~fading tattoos~
It's because of the technique. It's not disingenuous to say it's not a standard tattoo and the ink was never toted as being different
The funny thing is ephemeral are now largely out of business and getting sued by multiple people. They can't have done enough testing on different skin types. But anyone who has been around tattoos a long time knows that different skin types soak up colours and black differently. I'm lucky that my skin loves colour as much as I do - even yellow which fades fast for some people *sticks* for me. I couldn't imagine going through the process of an actual tattoo hoping it'll fade in a year, just get inkbox at that point. Yeah it's a shorter period again, but no needles or scarring risk (short of a severe allergic reaction)
This shouldn't have even been that big of a deal. She actually got lucky with this word and it's really easy to turn concour into conquer with the right artistic design. It's not like she misspelled Heaven like Hevin or something that's incredibly hard to readjust.
I think the ephemeral studio in my area is still open. The ink is supposed to be plant based and biodegradable so it's removed by your body over time. Problem is different bodies process things differently. So one person's immune system can clear the ink out in a year and another person's body takes longer. Their website says it can take up to around 3 years to clear the ink now. Im pretty sure the website used to say 2 years at most. It seems like they're extending their time estimates as more and more people's bodies are just holding onto the ink.
Of COURSE there’s going to be a paper to sign about miss spelling. Nobody knows all the words in all of the languages. It’s up to the person that wants it permanently on their body. If I wanted something written in another language or something. There are just reasons that make sense to have people sign something like that.
The tattoo artist not only messed up but tattood way too deep into the skin! Those are crocodile tears🙄
HA im currently about to start a tattoo listening to this doing my set up. Theyre tattoo artists not spelling bee champions. She had the design, the stencil and the stencil on before tattooing to correct it, She could have changed it at any time she probably sent a picture to a friend who pointed out that it was wrong, she probably didnt even notice it. It has a line through it just say thats why
Theres an update to this markie!! The client made a video.. the tattoo is p horrific 😢
We have known for years and years that "temporary" "fading" tattoo ink doesn't exist!! 😭😭
To be fair, nothing exists until it does.
@@williammiller3277 trusting a one off tattoo parlour to be the sole vendor of it isn't exactly a great indication on it existing lol
The "permanent" makeup fades though. But I feel like maybe people are likely to exfoliate their faces more frequently than the rest of their body and that would make a difference. Regular tattoos do fade over time though, I have one on my chest that I got almost exactly 30 years ago that has faded a lot but it is also in color, there's no black ink it at all, and it's had a lot of sun exposure both of which are also factors that will make tattoos fade. But it's tiny and now that I'm old, no one sees it other than my doctor and the mammogram tech. 😂
It actually does there’s a shop here in LA that does it a friend of mine from the Masonic Lodge has one on his neck that’s been fading. He’s actually getting it photographed today because it looks super cool. I’ll broken to get it tattooed permanently that way, but it does. I think there’s only a few shops in the United States right now that have it, but it is a thing.
Put face tattoos like browse lips Etc the reason they fade so quickly is because people are very oily compared to other parts of their body . When I got my brows done they told me they will probably fade in a few years just because I was extra oily of a person 😅@@phaedrapage4217
The update is that the client is a black woman who was left with an open wound and now will have to deal with a keloid scar. Please don’t be biased Markie. The tattoo artist was unprofessional and put clients at risk
Even if I was mad I would not verbally abuse the tattoo artist. Is it an expensive mistake? Yes!
But its horrid to be so verbally cruel to someone for something that can be fixed. Something that you gave the okay for multiple times too!
I have a lot tattoo artist friends and all of them have that contract. It's basically saying I'm not liable if it gets infected.If you mess up the spelling or I mess up the spelling.And that's because they show you over and over and over. Some will make you come back after 20:04 hours.They want you to really look at it and decide if you want it. Others they give you 10 up 15 minutes.Just sit alone and decide.
My very first tattoo has a mistake. It happened so fast I didn't stop him in time, but I had the word Qyv tattoo'd on me, and that was how it was stenciled on me. He added .'s between the letters at the end, cos I guess he thought it wasn't a word! I don't care, it's been 20+ years and I just laugh about it. I could have had the dots covered by a pattern around it or something, but it does make for a funny story.
Also I wasn't mad at the guy, we literally just laughed about it at the time.
He probably laughs about it, too. It's one of those things he probably randomly thinks about now days and thinks "I can't believe I did that." Lol. I think we all have those moments when we remember something silly we did years ago 😂
What does "qyv" mean? I can't find it on any dictionary site.
@@popartpistol right? I'm so confused...
I am covered in tattoos, EVERY SINGLE tattoo I have gotten has me sign the same type of paperwork, I have copies of each one and EVERY ONE of them has the same clause of - Artist is NOT responsible for misspelling of any words. Along with - Artist is not responsible for any color changes/differences that could happen on a tattoo with age.
Anyone saying they would "find a different artist" if things said that are lying and never read their contracts they signed. OR dont have tattoos.
Its not the sole job of the tatt artist to spell check, as a customer YOU should be checking that the thing youre putting on you for the rest of your life is correct.
I think the fix should be free, but its not the job of the artists alone.
The waiver for misspelling is REALLY understandable. I have a tattoo in Spanish. How on earth would I expect my artist to be fluent in Spanish so they can check the spelling and grammar?!
ON THIS EPISODE ON THE MARKIE CHANNEL WE TAKE ON TATTOO DRAMA PART 3000 (imagine this in a presenter voice)
This is exactly why none of my tattoos have any type of lettering. That is too easy to fuck up in exactly this way.
Im on your side...it was autocorrected, sure but the customer seen the stencil a few times...thats when you should check everything thoroughly, not just glance over it
Why would auto-correct change a word to a non-existent word? Everyone is defending the artist here, but she is the one providing a very permanent service. If it were just an auto-correct issue, wouldn't she have noticed it in the hours that she was tattooing?
If you are not a good speller, no shade (I am a dyslexia teacher, I get it), but you need to be triple checking your work before you forever etch it into someone's skin. (The customer may have just looked at the design and missed the spelling error. In that sense, she would have learned a valuable lesson about being more thorough before approving it.) I think in the end, it is the artist's fault, albeit an accident, and she should try to make the situation better for her, understandably, upset customer.
@@miss_daniele_83 1) its in the video
2) template and stencil will be given multiple times. If there was error in spelling, the customer should also thoroughly give it a check because its going on THEIR skin
3) she did try to make it better
@miss_daniele_83 If someone is getting something they know will be permanent on their body and also they should know what they signed. Most artists don't really pay attention to the tattoos they are doing since they do it for a job and its not very significant to them and they expect the customer to say the things they dont like. (Obviously artists arent all the same but most of the ones i know are) and the customer should know and say what they want. Its like blaming a cook for making a meal with onions in it when they showed you the ingredients they were gonna put in. (Random example but it works lol)
@@miss_daniele_83 I thought she said autocorrect didn’t run without her knowledge when it was supposed to. Hence her thinking it had been auto corrected. Also some people try to scam artists when they notice something’s wrong by not saying anything until it’s over. They think they’ll have the right to compensation, so they just stay quiet. The clause is to protect artists from that, so it’s actually the client that has the responsibility to do what you’re saying. Obviously a good artist tries their best, and it sounded like she did. She said she wasn’t supposed to tattoo that day and her daughter was with her… I wouldn’t expect anyone in that position to catch a detail like that. I wonder if the client had insisted on that time slot, since she wasn’t supposed to have an appointment, and just personally I would have rescheduled the moment I realized she had a kid to watch.
@@zbsosb3477 if your job is to put words on a body, you should spell check them.
we need an update video the client posted a vid .. she admits she should have checked it but the tattoo is ROUGH
oh and said she didn’t call her names & was blocked when she tried to contact her
Hey there has been an update to the “love concurs all” story that I think is worth talking about!
there has actually been an update to spiggs's situation, spiggs actually cut open her clients skin and im pretty sure the tattoo is infected now because of it
I feel for the artist because obviously it must suck to do that but at the end of the day if the client approves it then that’s on them. Every tattoo I’ve ever gotten I’ve looked over really closely. You don’t know what a clients vision is so that’s like the whole freaking part of approving it.
Edit: omg have ppl in her comments never gotten a tattoo before? That’s a standard clause in every tattoo I’ve ever gotten.
okay im coming back to this video bc the client posted her side of the story. this tattoo artist is definitely in the wrong. the client said she agrees that she couldve looked at it better to check. but the client never cussed at her, got aggressive w her, or called her all those names. that tattoo looks like the artist went WAYY too deep in her skin and it looks terrible, it literally looks like a wound. briggs also sent the girl her money back (client didnt ask for her money back) and blocked her. she even blocked the client on tiktok when she was trying to ask why briggs was lying abt the situation. while the client does have some fault here, briggs is definitely way more in the wrong here
Is it dumb that she misspelled it? Sure is. Is it the fault of the artist? Absolutely not. It's not as though she free handed it, she put a stencil on with the words misspelled before she did the tattoo. That is the moment that any issues you have with the design should be mentioned. It is 100% the responsibility of the client to make sure things are the way they want them.
I almost witnessed a spelling mistake once and spoke up because neither the artist or the customer were realising. IT CAN HAPPEN! it's your body so it's your responsibility before it's the artist's, they didn't do it on purpose.
the constant grind is commendable-
Btw this situation got a lot worse, the tattoo artist is the one who f-ed up big time. She also apparently lied about some stuff. And completely butchered the poor client's arm.
I have a tattoo that says "set me free, my honeybee" and i couldn't imagine not rereading it 15x
Steam Powered Giraffe?
@@sylverscale indeed! It's me and my husband's song 😊
Honeybee is what some of my friends call me because of this song!!
The person who said "I'm looking for an artist who doesn't make me sign paperwork that says they're not responsible for misspellings" is going to be looking for a while. All tattoo shops make you sign liability waivers.
Their only option is to find someone willing to do it who doesn't work for a shop. That's already a big red flag 😂
It’s totally normal to sign - it’s typical along with all the other waiver stuff you have to sign - I would be worried if you Didn’t have something to sign as that shows a lack of experience
This is the problem with word prediction. It has made everyone forget how to spell...including myself.
I have a judge dredd/fallout tattoo with "eat Recycled Food" on my arm. My artist told me straight up that tattoos with words tend to have mistakes or be misspelled. We checked 6 times that it was correct. Then partway through he paused to check again just in case. It turned out fine
BUT that being said, it was my 5th tattoo and literally every place I've gone to had me sign something waiving any responsibility on the part of the artist for misspellings or mistakes. Not only is it normal, but it is the STANDARD. I've even cautioned my partner against getting tattoos that are wordsy because mistakes are so common. I mean, remember Energy angel? Remember Murpy's law? It's a risk you are taking as a canvas.
My most recent tattoo has the word "breathing" in it and when the gal wrote it out, she forgot the "r". I caught it and she fixed it, if I hadn't, I should probably check myself before calling someone a crappy name. We're all human and make mistakes, it's up to you to make sure none end up on your body. Not to mention, seems like changing a c to a q wouldn't be that hard or make it look crazy depending on the script she used.
I guess love doesn’t conquer being upset at a tattoo artist lmao 😂
I totally agree with you, I only have one tattoo but my experience was just like yours - I got a print of the tattoo first and placed it on my body, looked at it a million times. Then the stencil was used to sketch the tattoo on my body, and I got to look at it again. I had a lot of opportunities to notice any mistakes or ask to get them fixed. If my tattoo included text and it was misspelled, I’d totally blame myself and not the artist, because I was the one who approved the design with a misspelling in it.
It’s definitely always the customers fault if they were shown the tattoo first or didn’t look at the stencil before the tattoo was started. My husband has a misspelled tattoo on his arm and we just laughed cause I mean what are ya gonna do? It’s his fault for not knowing how to spell something before getting it permanently on his skin. And my husband still goes back to the same guy, no grudges. The artist needs a little back bone though, you can feel sorry for them and say “yeah that sucks, we can try to fix it if you want real quick or when I’m doing free touch ups I’ll fix it then but take this as a lesson to check everything before we get started” getting emotional and freak out is just going to make the customer freak out even more.
ive only been in shops where you had to sign a waiver stating theyre not at fault and i never thought twice about it. i get why they have to do that and it was just never a big deal to me 👀 on top of that they do ask multiple times for you to verify before they start, both on the ipad, once its printed, and once the stencil is on the skin.
I watch every video you put out. I think that you’re so sincere, charming and very fair in the commentary you provide. Great voice. Great accent
Imagine doing a ”Love Conquers All” tattoo and reacting with so much HATE against the artist when you were just as much to blame 😂😂😂
Big hugs to this Artist!!
Happened to me and the artist, myself AND another artist missed it lol
My friend noticed it. I went back and she fixed it. There’s NO NEED to be so awful when YOU also checked it. Some people are just awful!
Eyyyy i saw this one unfolding live on tiktok lmao
It's so funny you say they went out of business, I got an email this morning (10 April) saying "they've been busy and opening new locations in 18 new cities. I have 13 permanent tattoos but I did consider getting one in a spot I wasn't certain about with the design placement. I never went through with it, but I guess I'm still on the corporate mailing list.
Customer: It is spelled wrong.
Artist: It PROVES the point. 😂
I have a tattoo that’s a direct quote. The tattoo artist asked ME if it was correct. The only things they asked were punctuation like if I want the comma, if I want “we’d” with the ‘, and if I want a period at the end of it or not. I checked it on the iPad, I checked the stencil, I checked online to make sure it matched before he got the needle out. This was MY FIRST EVER TATTOO AT 18 AND I KNEW THIS ! Yes I’d be so upset if it was wrong. But it would also be my fault as well for not checking it myself.
AFTER SEEING THE TATTOO NOW JESUS CHRIST THE ARTIST HAS DUG INTO HER SKIN AND SCARRED IT-
We’re so close to 500k it’s making me anxious 😂 love you markie!
She actually botched the tattoo more than just the words. She went too deep and scarred her client.
And she makes the mistake of misspelling often. It's all over tik tok. People see her crying and immediately take her side. She actually made a huge mistake and is making herself the victim.
Tattoo artists are artists, and ultimately it is the customers responsibility to ensure that what they are getting is correct.
Obviously tattoo artists should take every reasonable precaution - which is what it sounds like she did.
Regardless of what anyone believes about where the fault lies, it should go without saying that verbally abusing someone is never the right way to go about any situation.
I really feel for that tattoo artist 💔
Why are you only hearing out one side in the first situation…
Because the other side didn’t come out yet. A huge mistake on his part but he always does follow up videos.
I have a quote on my arm from my favorite song of all time. It was fundamental to my life growing up. It helped me grow. I triple checked every word before it was tattooed on me... The docs you sign have a stipulation for a reason. You could want something misspelled on purpose. That poor tattoo artist didn't deserve any of that
oh no not another tattoo gate 😂
This happened to my friend when he was 17. He shows up to my house so excited to show me his tattoo. I had to be the one to tell him it was spelled wrong🫣
the client actually came forward recently and her tattoo was BAD. the artist went wayyy too deep on her skin and it looks awful. also she said she never cussed her out. i think these are crocodile tears cuz she knows she was wrong. 50/50 fault to me. artist went too hard and can’t spell a word that is tattooed VERY often on people. and the client should definitely have checked if the spelling was right cuz it’s YOUR tattoo.
This artist seems like such a sweetheart. She needs a hug.
That client is having some big regerts…😅
Every tattoo place I have been too, on the consent/ declaration form when you sign in, it asks if you have an words in your tattoo and for you to write them out. Then asks you to sign that that's what you want, and that you are aware any spelling errors written down may be used and it's not the artists fault. It seems like a good safety net for tattoo artists to use.
also she didn't send the idea ahead of time, she just said "oh can we do this while we're here." if she's cruel enough to walk back in and call the artist a dumb bitch then imo she deserves that misspelled tattoo lmfao...
