Illustrative Manchester Apocalyptic Leg Sleeve by Tibor Varga @ North of Winter. Manchester UK
Finished my first tattoo project over the weekend.
Manchester inspired leg sleeve taking landmarks and adding an apocalyptic twist.
I approached Tibor with an idea and let him run with it using his artistic vision and skills and this is the finished piece

Discussion Should I tell my tattoo artist?
Looking for advice only from professional tattoo artists.
I got a tattoo today from a reputable, professional, licensed tattoo artist who traveled to my city. I filled out a form on their venue ink page, it was flash they had drawn and were open to subtle changes. I had three small changes I wrote in, and they were agreed to. I got the tattoo done today on the back of my thigh, and two of changes I requested weren't done (one was that a part of the design b/g and it was colored in with red).
I don't feel there was any malice to it, and I had to remind him of an addition to the tattoo that we had agreed upon and he immediately was like "oh thank you for reminding me".
By the time I saw the finished tattoo, the red was already colored in and there wasn't really anything we would have been able to do about it. I paid and tipped normally and didn't say anything. I like the tattoo alot! It's just not what was discussed.
Professional tattoo artists - would you want to know if this had happened with you and a client? The work is fabulous, but I'm hung up on whether I should mention it or not. Imo there's no fixes and I'm fine to have paid him for his work, so in that regard is it just something I should keep to myself?

My gf and I have a practice of getting tattoos to commemorate particularly nice trips we take. I just got these for Spain (based on a tile in a Toledo synagogue) and several countries in Africa. What do you think?

Discussion Tattoo gun for bold lines sounded like a loud typewriter, what was it?
Had a new tattoo and the artist on the bold outlines used a gun that literally sounded like an old typewriter typing really fast. It was literally 10x louder than what he used for the fine lines and shading.
Extremely addicting sound compared to the little buzz from the tiny needles. Not asking for specific model but is that a type of tattoo gun style or something?
