crummy tattooist mascarades as pro in t.o.

1 message · last activity 7/1/2004

i used an artist by the name of "daemon" who owns "urban primitive tattoo" in toronto. i needed reworking/cover-up of older work. i don't see why this dude had any "consultation" w/me prior, 'cause when time came he didn't execute the way he&i agreed upon during said consultation. now i'm looking into laser removal of some of my tattoos, including the keif this guy left me with. moral: research any tattoo artist as thoroughly as possible, and even then, let any doubts turn you away or cause you to take pause! also, don't allow artistic license unless the ideas are sketched & ok'd by yourself personally. experience means nothing if you&artist aren't on same exact page. i will likely get more/new tattoo work in said area apres laser removal/lightening, but i urge anybody getting tattooed in toronto area to stay clear of "daemon"/urban primitive 'cause you might just end up w/the tattoo he wanted to doodle that particular day instead of what you originally had in mind. p.s. dude is astronomically over-priced... even if he was any good!
