I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate my dad’s first death anniversary this October. My brother recommended Best Friend Co, so I checked out their Instagram and really enjoyed their work. I messaged one artist and I got a few replies until I eventually got no reply back. I waited a while because one of their replies took over a week, so I assumed they were busy and I was okay with that. Then, when it had been over three weeks, I messaged another artist and got no reply back as well. I am really disappointed with this outcome. I reached out 1.5 months ahead of the day I wanted it, but maybe that was short notice? I also confirmed the price was okay and sent my reference photo, so I’m not sure what made them want to not book with me. I may have made a few mistakes, but I really don’t know because this was supposed to be my first tattoo and I’m not aware on how far out I should book.
And because I waited this long I don’t think I’ll be able to get my tattoo in time for my dad’s death anniversary, and this really upsets me. At the very least I wish they would have communicated with me that my request was not possible so I could have booked for a later time or with another artist. I just feel a little disrespected I guess, my dad means a lot to me.
