'I had a guy who spelled his own kid's name wrong...'

A girl wanted a phrase in Italian. She wrote it down no less than five times on paper. I told her to make sure it was correct, as I don’t speak Italian. She insisted it was correct. I drew up some nice script, tattooed it with no issues, bandaged it, and she paid and left.

"My worst mistake was made when I was learning to tattoo. As an apprentice, I had to take what I could get when it came to practicing . Well, one of the other guys in the studio overheard us and said he’d actually been wanting to get his fingers tattooed for a while, so, if my mentor was okay with it, he’d let me practice on him. My mentor okayed it, so he got to work on the stencil. The tattoo artist I was practicing on is ambidextrous, and had an exact font in mind for his finger tattoos, so he said if I got everything set up, he’d freehand the script on his hands, and then we could just get started.

Well, of course, one of my first clients came in and asked for a tattoo to be covered because another artist screwed it up. The tattoo was meant to be a peanut riding a motorcycle, however, the tattoo artist screwed up so bad that it looked like a penis riding a malformed motorcycle from hell. I didn't cover the peanut part of the original tattoo properly, so the raven looked like it had a little penis coming out of it. When she realized, she was angry and demanded it be fixed. The only solution I saw was to attach another smaller raven to the original one as a sort of chain link.
