My worst tattoo experience was dealing with an artist who was a heroin addict. This guy was an addict, but he did awesome work. Mainly (over the years) the only problem was he had dozed out a few times and I had to leave because he was to messed up.

The main event, was one day I was getting work done, and about five cop cars pull up to the parlor, jump out of their cars and bust in to arrest my tattoo artist. Not only did my work have to stop but the guy ended up getting sentenced to 5 years in jail for armed robbery.

He had robbed a liquor store to feed his growing addiction. I never saw the guy again and had to have another artist finish the seascape theme on my back. That sucked because like I said, the dude has massive talent.

That sucks for the artist. They must love him inside the joint.

Holy sh*t!! Did you have to pay the other artist, or had you not paid the artist who got arrested? I would have been so mad! i hope he at least got through the line work!!! Whats it look like now? Have you posted a picture?

Wow what is the name of the shop so I can be sure to never go there?

WTF you had to leave because he would doze off. Nodding off in the middle of a session means he was HIGH doing your tattoo. You have got to be high yourself to ever go back to that guy no matter the quality of work
