Turned down by a Tattoo Artist

You don't have to commit to today's decision. Just put that thought back up on the shelf and revisit it in a year or two. Rinse and repeat until the time is right for you to choose a different path.

He likened it to chopping up a classic ride and how some would not do that. Maybe he just didn't want my business, but I thought about it and for now, am rocking the old school faded mess that I have. What are your thoughts? Keep the old tats or get new stuff?

Do you always ask people you have never met how to make decisions in life?

Good to read reviews, sometime I don't buy it when the bad are well explain.
And those reviews are from peoples I don't know.

How many times I did some weird mistakes not reading instructions from someone's I never met; countless.

His tattoo might have be done by a well know artist, sometime worth to be ''leatherized'' when dead by the successions .

I have some old ink from my navy days.
they're a reminder of my life back then. I have thought of covering them up, but I'd rather keep the memories

I took his question as an opportunity to get different points of view that he might not have thought of. In the end, he will make his decision.
