Hey modders, got something to put to you all. Last year, we went to an old tattooist (yes we learned our lesson, she is a shotty backyarder for a reason) to get our necks done. Simple lettering, nothing flash (mods are posted up).
 
Anyways, one was to say 'Sapphire' and one was to say 'SunSpark' each was to have a little swirl underneath and that was MEANT to be it!
 
After we got home, we were having a look at the job, as you do and we noticed that on each of our tatts, there were 3 dots underneath the ink in a triangle shape ... it took us all fucking night to realise that it was actually her personal signature that she has put on the ink job and we have to say, both of us were really fucking pissed and still are, hence this forum discussion.
 
IF she had JUST told us first, if she had just mentioned that this was her new thing to protect her work, then cool, we could have somehow worked the 3 small dots into the artwork and we would have done this happily with no arguments, its just who we are ... but come on, i mean this is perm ink we are talkin, we all know this so WTF???
 
Guess we just wanna know is this really cool? Without saying anything to us? Just dotting us/branding us with her own 'signature' without a fucking mention? Bang%20Head
 
We wanna know is this the norm for artists? and what does everyone think of the situation? Unfortunately, with the crappy photos taken by us lol you cant actually see the dots, the shots are too out of focus.
 
NB: Can we just add that we do not mean disrespect to private ink artists in the above 'shotty backyard' statement ... dont hear us wrong, we have met some awesome backyarders that are as professional as you can get in a backyard set up lol but this chick, she is jst all wrong, esp after this, we just wanted to be told PRIOR that is all.

Agreed, not cool. This should have been discussed BEFORE the tattoo, and is not something you see often. I know of a couple of artists who have signed the work on the request of the client, but never have I seen one throw in a symbol or name without approval. Three dots, in many places, is a recognized gang symbol.

THanx for the response guys, we figured she was a cunt for doing it, esp without our knowing and when we first got them done, we had no fucking idea, you know what its like, you get it done and most times you just wanna get the fuck home and have a drink or smoke LOL ... so like i said, was not until we got home that we realised what she had done ... i wanted to kill her! Some people say 'oh its only 3 small dots, what the big deal?' but i think we all know what the big deal is ... MORONS!!! ... i have never seen her since but i tell you now, if i ever see her in the street again, she will have a world of trouble on her fuckin hands cause agreed with you all, what she did was not cool and not fuckin on ... she is lucky that it was not a full on signature or something else cause she would have a law suit on her hands.
 
I have no idea what the significance of the 3 dots is, our only guess, is that its a signature but it sure as hell was not part of the original design thats for fuckn sure.
 
If we were on mainland australia or internationally, then i could see the whole gang relation BUT we are from a small town south of australia, the most we have where gangs are concerned is the bikers oh and now we must not forget the teeny boppers who pull their pants down too far, get a few shotty ink jobs done, burn a few houses, bash a few people and then call themselves 'the risdonvale boys' LMAO *shakes her head*.
 
Has me beat, if i wasnt so angry i would approach her and ask her WTF? BUT im pissed, grant is pissed, she has kids, we have kids ... need i say more LOL ... no heads need to roll this time but next time, oh there wont be a fucking next time trust me!

thats assault pure and simple. DEMAND she either pays for its removal(plus compensation) or take her to court.regardless of a contract you can still clean her out.the fact that she needs to sign her work shows shes full of her own importance but doesnt give a damn about her clients, shes a scratcher(even if shes talented she just proved shes one by that act).

We had a Tattooist here in my town do that. He did a full backpiece and asked "can I sign it?" as he was working, she (client) of course thought he was joking and laughed "yeah sure".

He had to pay for the laser removal and his reputation went downhill.

Celt .. that's just it mate, we were fucking stupid and too much in a hurry to get the work done, did not wait for our own guy (who btw does not like doing small jobs hence why we also did not ask) to become avail ... she is in no way talented, trust me, she is covered in crappy artwork that she does on herself for practice, we are talkin full on back yarder here guys ... our own pathetically stupid fault but she did come highly reccommended ... if she did not have such a mean cunt of a boyfriend living with her, trust me, business would have been taken care of long ago BUT i got kids, she got kids, there is not much that can be done by law i dont think? not when they are not a registered artist? I am unsure how it works?
