    i have a 'consent form' here... it says...



    that's from the consent form where you give your name/address/medical conditions etc. about a year old, but can't imagine they've changed it, really.

    tehre could be another one specifically for the tattoo stuff... but that's the smallprint on the consent form.

    That's the one, cheers Crumblo Froo ;)

    If it does, he could at least have the decency to apply such interpretation BEFORE he tattoos you - not during the bloody thing! If he felt a change was needed after the stencil was applied, he should have stopped, and spoken to you about it.

    There was no stencil, it was done free-hand. He pre-drew a rough outline of what I wanted with what I can only assume was an iodine pen, but then ****en proceeded to ink something different into my skin.
    The waiver, can cause no problems thankfully.

    Aw man, thats bad form.

    Well he's just lost over €1k in business from me, a full back piece, and possibly two thigh pieces and a lot of work for my bro too, I'm not risking that happening to me.

    I've always gone to snakebite, not to him, but loyalty goes out the window when it comes to permo marks on me!

    No reason to deprive an artist that you're perfectly happy with from earning that.

    Depends on the work involved Raze, how complex the work is will can determine how long it will take, as will the size of the back, and these will determine the cost.

    And she said over a grand

    I've never had any work done by him before, but he was on my shortlist due to other reviews I'd heard, and Snakebite are one of my favourite studios. But after hearing that I'll be looking at others on my list first.

    I've decided not to make my final decision until after the convention anyway, see what else is out there :)

    Have to say thought, John in Inkwell is currently in the lead artist wise!

    only copped the over a grand part there now.
    I know what would determine the cost, but seriously a full back piece is usually around 2k at least right??? It's what i was given as an "at least" price for my where's wally idea

    What I want is not a "full" back piece, well not to start with anyway, the lower part of my back is already done, it's the center piece I'm getting next, and that will only go up to just under my shoulder blades, so I'm guesstimating €1k for the next installation, nowhere near €1k in total for the entire back! (Wish it was though ;))

    I went in to Snakebite today and spoke to Rob about our.. predicament and he couldn't have been nicer nor more friendly. He apologised several times on behalf of himself but not Pawel,who was sick off work apparently. Rob has promised me that he's going to get Pawel to give me what I wanted if he had a good attitude about the situation. If he didn't, he's going to find another artist to do it. I was also offered a full refund.
    The man said everything I wanted to hear.


    I'm feeling pretty awful about the fact that this thread will have an effect on Rob's business. Pawel, is an amazing artist despite what happened and he'll get a good talking to i'm sure and hopefully cop himself on.
    Rob has an American artist coming in in the next 2 weeks I hear so that might be worth investigating.

    Rob is awesome, so I'm not surprised that he's making sure you're gonna be sorted out, but two thumbs up to him for resolving this for you. :)

    This really shouldn't put people off any of the other artists, and it shouldn't even put them off Pawel if they like the art that he does and want something of the styles that he does best.

    I'm glad that this is going to get sorted out, and that you end up with the tattoo that you truely wanted. :)

    glad to hear, hats off. hope it is fixable alright, and i really am glad to hear that snakebite have lived up to their customer service rep anyway. i would definitely avoid this pawel fella. but mariusz and denise still seem to have some excellent work to offer.
