Too legit to spell check? Sorry, but I think they have a reasonable duty of care to protect their patrons from things like this. If the customer insists then that's on the customer, but the studio shouldn't let this kind of work out the door otherwise.

Even if the customer insists, a legit studio would refuse to do this tattoo.

because of pictures like this. Not hard. Not everything is worth money and your reputation is one of those things.

Upside down and misspelled?

No, it is not a legit anything with two obvious and easily avoided mistakes on a simple tattoo.

I’m with you on the spelling thing, obviously. But you lost me with the “upside-down” part.

I had this argument with a tattoo artist, when I insisted on having a wrist tattoo done “upside-down.” His argument was that my arm hangs downward, so other people will be seeing it the wrong way. I told him idgaf, because I specifically want it to look right-side up when holding my viola with that arm. It’s a symbol representing the instrument (alto clef), so that was the whole point. Also, I only care how it looks TO ME. It’s not for others.

So yeah, if that’s how a client wants it. Do it that way. Our bodies are constantly in motion anyway.

For you or not, it’s still upside down.

Upside down alone, maybe a reputable shop will let that go, but misspelled? Nah.

And I maintain that’s a matter of opinion. I don’t think it’s “upside down,” since we hold our arms in different positions throughout the day.

But, you see, it is upside down and your feelings on that don’t matter one whit.

There is no opinion involved. Conventions are conventional for a reason, and this is an absolute.

Do people wear tattoos upside down? Yes.

Does it mean they’re wrong? Not necessarily.

Does it mean they aren’t upside down? No.

A tattoo like this is absolutely considered upside down.

maybe the mistakes were not mistakes and were in fact intentional.
