The first few posts about it were pretty informative, you'd have to admit. I didn't know that the ink was so much different with all the extra risks (okay "risks" since rejection isn't really going to hurt you any).
But more on topic, I went in on March 4th to get something drawn up- a stocking of a bunch of creepy monsters in the style of Creatures in my Head. The guy said he'd have something ready in about a week, so after a week and a half, I sent an email asking about the progress, and I haven't heard anything back. Then I called today; the artist was with another client but I gave all my contact information and he still never got back to me. I'm a little worried about this... I know the studio is nice and clean (which is really my main criteria) and the artist is a very good tattooist, but the lack of communication doesn't seem that professional.
I'm wondering, from people more tattooed than me, or not, if I should just go in, grab the papers and stuff I gave him for reference and go somewhere else. Or am I just being too paranoid? He might just be really busy.
