Angela, a video editor, wanted a rose tattoo that would match her eyes and serve as a "permanent necklace". This was the result:
Looks pretty good, right? Not so fast. It is not often that I get someone sharing a tattoo with which they're not completely happy. This is one of those cases.
Angela had an issue with the artist, Jon Comstock at Skin City Tattoos, in New Windsor, New York, and felt that his vision, ultimately, differed from hers. Too much neon-like color, less realism in matching her eyes, Angela said. The end result, a fairly visible tattoo that has an ambivalent host. "I wouldn't go back to him," Angela said.
I have decided to include his credit, however, as I don't think it's so bad. Of course, I don't have to live with the end result, Angela does. In a slight reversal, however, when I showed her one of the pictures I took,
she admitted it looked better than she remembered.
Despite the mixed feelings about the piece, I would like to thank Angela for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
