There is an update with the love conquers all tattoo! The client came out and exposed that artist for lying 😱 The clients tiktok is @laibankss if you'd like to see her side of the story!!
Gotta say, I actually find it funny as hell that someone with ink all over their FACE, neck, etc... is so distraught about this. As a person who thinks most tattoos a little silly at best ridiculous at worst (face...check back in how cool you are in your 50s, 60s...share with us the missed opportunities in life, etc...that's if they reach their 50s) so few people will ever notice even if it was never fixed. I see tattoos, and could not care less exactly what you have. Also, this woman no doubt runs around like she's hard af, I am enjoying the schadenfreude
Thank u for mentioning that, I was about to swipe because I saw the red and figured I watched it but then I saw it basically just uploaded! (Also, thank u for more great content Celle!)
The saving grace for the first one is that spelling it “Everthing’s Fine” adds a beautiful hilarious irony to the tattoo and the experience of getting it that I think gives it an even more powerful meaning. I actually love it, and I’m glad that lady did too.
I have a misspelled kanji tattoo, it was supposed to say “prayer to God from Kyoto” and instead it says “prayer to God from bank account” - I love this mistake so much, I’ll never change it 😂
When I worked at a tattoo shop, we passed around stencils for every single tattoo that had text to at least 3-4 people in the shop. Everyone had to read and approve it before it went on skin.
That’s exactly what should happen. Coming from the print/publishing industry proof reading was a huge deal and you NEVER proof your own work. It had to go through a few people first.
The new age social media has caused a lack of respect and awareness. The internet gives off this idea that being a tattoo artist because you bought equipment off of Amazon. Maybe watched a few videos. Then decided it's good enough to start tattooing. In my opinion, that's a big disrespect towards the body modification industry. That lady tattooer let her ego get in the way. Why didn't she check the spelling before and after putting the stencil on??? What a lazy person. Tattooing isn't for lazy people who can't spell..... She should be fired. That tattoo was absolutely terrible anyway. It would be easy to cover up
maybe do an update on the “love conquers all” client bc i keep getting tiktoks on my fyp from the client herself calling out sprigs for lying about the experience?? idk if that’s the truth, but it’s definitely something to look into bc i STAY getting her tiktoks!!
Sprigs later blamed the client for having dark skin on why Sprigs fucked it up. Add in that she was representing a black woman as much more aggressive than she was and the fact that this happened in a very racist area of the US, it's very clear Sprigs is just straight up racist.
Omg.....in my opinion. They should have spelled BOTH tattoos without the "Y". then they would both have matching tattoos, with a funny memory... But now they have two different tattoos, they wanted MATCHING tattoos. There's nothing wrong with the missing "Y". It's the irony, the joke, .
Yeah but once, it happened. The other time, it would've been copied. I can kinda see why the artist felt that for this one, the thing that makes it perfect is not repeatable.
I just want to say that for the second tattoo TikTok thing, the client has made response videos to this and said that she never cursed out the tattoo artist. And the client says that the artist blocked her all over social media when she was commenting on the artist's videos about the situation.
I think they also showed that the artist worked the line so hard it basically gouged her skin. It doesn't help the client was black, and artists mistakenly think black skin requires working the tattoo harder
I also question why this tattoo artist felt the need to make this "poor me" tiktok, painting the client in such a difficult combative light. As for not feeling her best that day, she never communicated that to the client. In her response video she said she'd obviously have come back another day if she knew this artist wasn't feeling up to it.
There's been a video update posted from the client "love conquers all" and their side of story, apparently the tattoo artist blocked them on everything and they never were rude to the artist. So...
With the crying tattooist, the client came forward and explained what happened from her point of view and also mentioned that the tattooist blocked her when she made the video. Someone else mentioned that tattooist went through skin there was a mid hole in between her skin.
I would definitely not want to get my tattoo fixed when my tattoo artist is an emotional wreck and distracted, too. And the way she was in her video I can't imagine her being calm in person. It's kind of baffling to me that she made a video about it at all. If the client didn't post about it in the first place, what's the point?
yeah i’m assuming she’s not well versed in tattooing darker skin so that just adds insult to injury. really sucks that the client left with a wound and a fked up tattoo 😭
the client also said that she was not cursing out the artist at all! weird for her to be blocked when the artist is saying she would continue trying to fix it!
The tattoo artist ruined that person's skin. They have a sizeable slice in their skin that is not going to heal properly. The not sliced part is illegible
I also have dysgraphia (but not dyslexia) and so while I am really good at proofreading and spelling...writing, not so much. I really don't want anyone to get my handwriting tattooed on them ever lmao there would be so many crossings out and it would be basically illegible haha
The appropriate way to distinguish a scenario like this is basically as follows: • The customer is responsible for spotting any misspellings present in the example+stencil, because they're the ones approving the entire process leading up to the needle being inked. *(tattoo = stencil)* • The artist is responsible for the misspelling if they messed it up _during the tattoo,_ when the stencil and customer proofed a correct example+stencil prior to ink. *(tattoo ≠ stencil)* This is realistically the cleanest line of responsibility, IMO. However, neither party should be verbally abusive whatsoever. That said, as an artist and habitual editor, regardless, I would personally be very frustrated if I didn't notice my own misspelling, or didn't notice AND VERIFY THE CUSTOMER'S INTENTION about a misspelling in _their_ example, leading to a misspelled stencil and tattoo (in accordance with the criteria above).
what about a client telling an artist verbally what they want & the artist designs the tattoo with the wrong word & the client doesn’t notice? who’s at fault there? still the client? you don’t feel bad at all for not doing a quick google search before drawing something up? that’s what happened to the second client. tattoo artist didn’t want to deal with her at all, so she gave her poor service.
the client of the concours/conquers tattoo posted videos on tiktok with screenshots for proof. the artist lied about being cursed out, she also lied about a few other aspects of the story and then when the client saw the video and DMed her, that artist BLOCKED HER. while she was putting out videos claiming "all she has to do is reach out and I'll fix it more" she had the woman blocked so how could she reach out? you definitely misrepresented that situation
still the client's fault for it being mispelled. you sign a wavier for this exact reason. people need to read those things before blindly signing them.
Screenshots for what she spoke? Huh? How do you know who was actually lying? Was there a video of the whole interaction? Or just of DMs? She could reach out by going to the shop, maybe? Pick up the phone? I've only seen one side of the story so far.
In the second situation, the client actually came onto TikTok and said that the tattoo artist blocked her on TikTok and Instagram after the client saw her video pop up and was supposedly lying about certain things in her story and when she tried to confront her about it, that’s when she blocked her on everything. The client also showed what the tattoo looks like right now and it does not look good and it does not look like it’s healing properly. Oh and the tattoo artist also said she has misspelled tattoos before so this is not the first time she has done this unfortunately.
Doesn't matter if she has misspelled tattoos before in the past, you literally sign a wavier when you get tattoos stating that you as the client are responsible for making sure spelling is correct. Should the artist have blocked her, no. Is it the artist's fault, again no.
@@claytonberg721you guys are f*cking weird & if you’re a tattoo artist, pls drop your shop so i can make sure me & no one that i know goes to your shop. a bad tattoo is a bad tattoo & this was a bad tattoo plus a whiney artist. embarrassing display of bad work & emotional manipulation.
@@WinterDarkpool Two things can be true at once and although I believe the client should have been more more vigilant, at the end of the day the tattoo artist was extremely unprofessional not just the fact she ran to the internet but also the fact she lied about how the client reacted to the situation and so it’s a bad reflection on her and the shop she works for. In my opinion it is still ethically a tattoo artist’s job to also be vigilant when it comes to these things to prevent them from happening (you know since they’re professionals) because sometimes clients/customers aren’t always paying attention in the moment. PLUS the tattoo also looks like shit now on top of everything.
No! The "love conquers all" client actually made a statement. Her artist blocked her completely when she left the studio. Her client never said those mean words to her until after she left
The client has finally broke their silence abt it and has shown live footage of what the tattoo looks like now and Sprigs absolutely TORTURED this poor girl, she is mutilated now…they went so incredibly deep into the clients’ skin and it’s healing with so much scar tissue. She also defended her behavior, she said that she never called anyone an inflammatory name but was reasonably upset
So I saw a follow up from the person who actually got the second misspelled tattoo and she was saying how she didn’t understand why the artist came crying onto tiktok when the client was happy to sort things out in person (the artist blocked her on everything so she couldn’t even stitch the original post or anything) The client also said she never swore at the artist and from her pictures the artist gave her a way too deep tattoo and it looks awful. I think it’s important to note the white artist came onto social crying etc making the black client seem awful when it sounds like there is more to it than that.
I remember fussing so much over whether I needed to get my first tattoos touched up to look "perfect." Then my friend said to me that she wouldn't want her tattoos to be "perfect" because they almost wouldn't feel real, or something. It totally changed my perspective and I've been a lot more relaxed about the little imperfections in the tattoos I've gotten since. You're totally right, it's part of the character of tattoos.
My first tattoo was a Chinese dragon, small, on my hip when I was 19. I'm now 47 and it's so blurred, stretched, had a skin tag grow on it and split it in half. I think it's hilarious how far removed it is from. When I was younger, it was sexy. Now it's pathetic, and that's fine! 😅
I went to a well established tattoo shop in Los Angeles to get tattooed by a well known artist. After my first session I noticed there was a misspelling but it was in a very fancy calligraphy style so the missing letter wasn’t obvious. I waited until at the end of the second and final session. (total time for the tattoo was about 10 hours. It was a 12 inch by 8 inch realistic black & grey with mini tattoos & writing at the bottom) I waited because I knew there wasn’t much that could be done. I wanted my artist fully focused on what he was doing rather than stressing about the missing letter. Also, during the first session he bought me dinner, offered the shirt off his own back that had the shop logo because they were out of new shirts to sell and he was just all around a great person to talk to. I was having the best experience. Top it off, the morning of my first session I actually saw Bob Roberts in person. So much good was happening I couldn’t care less about the misspelling. He also had shown me the drawing several times and I missed it. But he fixed it and apologized. My approach to tattooing is that it’s done by real people in real time. Of course aim for the best. But when mistakes happen, it’s okay. Worst case scenario you can black it out or get laser removal. But the memories around getting tattoos should be forever.
Please do an update on the love conquers all tattoo because the tattoo artist went way too deep and it's a wound now that's it's a common issue that people of colour experience
You should look further into the second tattoo situation. The tattooer is not telling the full story and 100% weaponized her tears to get sympathy and paint the client as the angry Black woman. She told the client, I’ll fix it “if you’re respectful.” Nah. She was microaggressive as hell. The client had receipts. Also she mangled her skin. I don’t see how people didn’t see that
I’m a Mom who tattoos, and I just book my clients in early while my kid’s in school and they work around my schedule. It’s a lot more flexible than a lot of jobs out there
Spriggs saying “I hate when I do this” definitely says a lot about the situation. I 100% take responsibility for whatever I allow someone to tattoo on my body. If there’s a spelling mistake, I would blame myself. But her saying she’s done it multiple times, is a bit much. Yikes.
Yeah it's concerning she admits this has happened before. If you have made this mistake before why did you not learn from the situation so repeat instances don't happen to other clients? Running the design through an automatic spell check is *not* adequate diligence.
It goes beyond a misspelling. That tattoo is hammered! From the pictures I have seen of it healing, it looks infected and like it’s going to keloid on the client
The Love conquers all became Love concours all. Is actually an interesting misspell from the perspective of a French/English speaking writer. Here is why: concours is French for "contest". Which is true because after all love is a "battle field"!
The second one, love conquers all… we do indeed have a photo/ video of what it looks like after the correction! Sprigs really chewed up the clients skin on top of the misspelling! The tattoo was clearly overworked and the artist blocked the client on everything. That’s suspicious. I 100% don’t believe the customer cursed at her either.
I'm glad that people aren't too hard on the artists, I'm a graphic designer and it's so easy to unsee mistakes when you've been staring at something for hours! You're focused on a million other things, spelling is up to the copywriters, and I think with tattoo artists, the client should should stop and ask, did we both spellcheck that? The client need to take some responsibility for what goes on their own body.
“everthing’s fine” is actually perfect tbh. if ANYTHING is going to be misspelled, that is so ironic it’s hilarious and seems intentional. kinda love it
The thing that freaks me out is that she says she's done this multiple times AND forces her clients to sign waivers saying it's not her fault if she fucks up?? That's INSANE.
a lot of tattoo artists have stuff like this in their waivers. no one is being forced to sign a waiver… you can simply say no thanks and don’t get a tattoo.
Every artist has a disclaimer like this, because it's not the artist responsibility to make sure things are spelled correctly. Sometimes they are in different languages, sometimes name spellings are a little different. I expect all of my clients to be properly informed on what THEY are choosing to put on THEIR bodies.
see this is the problem with the second artist entirely. there should be waivers to protect good artists who may get effed over. a waiver should not be there to protect a straight up BAD TATTOO JOB & POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. artists should be protected but NOT THIS ARTIST.
📒As a tattoo artist, I've mispelled a few things. I was in spelling bees when I was a kid, and in honors classes all throughout schooling, so it's not a skill issue. The issue is when people give me mispellings or expect me to know the correct spelling of a language I don't speak. I've tattooed the name "Magdlena" on someone because she swore up and down that was her mother's name, but came back a week later wondering if we could change it to Magdalena. I tattooed an Lozengra when it was supposed to be Lozengara (client was drunk, and claimed it was spelled right). I've tattooed the wrong death date for someone's child even though I ALWAYS have people check the paper twice, check the stencil, I read it back to them, I hand them the paper and let them hold it for a moment. I do literally everything in my power to make sure I am not making a mistake, but it's always the clients. Then they try to blame it on me, despite me giving them multiple chances to change the tattoo before it's permanent...
I work in a private studio so we don’t get many walk ins and are responsible for our own schedules so I can’t relate to that stress. But every time I’ve ever done lettering, dates or names I make the client check it at least 5 times. I send the design days before, have them check it when they come to the shop, and again once the stencil is on. I probably annoy them I ask them to check again so many times 🫨 I always stress to them that once I tattoo it, I can’t change the spelling. It’s genuinely one of my biggest fears as a tattoo artist. I like to think myself good at spelling, but the simplest words start to look strange if you look at them too long and I totally get how this could happen.
For the second one, the client has a video on tiktok showing the tattoo and it’s bad. The artist dug so deep into her skin, it looks cut up. I think she is either going to a hospital or has gone to one because of it. On top of that, she also talked about the interaction and she was not as rude/mean as the artist was leading people to believe she was.
Thank you for explaining the "backwards tattoo" thing because I was so confused when he said that lol. When I was 18 I got a rosary on my wrist and the cross is right side up when I have my arm up, and I remember another kid at school kept saying it's upside down, it just didn't make sense to me to have the rosary oriented the other way lol 😂
Hi Celle. I recently came across your channel and I'm hooked! 😁 I personally think that it's the artist's duty and responsibility to make sure that a word is spelled correctly before tattooing it. This is for their own benefit and protection, as well as their client's. Just a quick chat with the client about the word or phrase desired, followed by a spell check would clarify things. Also, if the artist notices that a client has spelled a word incorrectly, they should point that out to the client before proceeding. Of course, if the client wants it spelled incorrectly, then that's up to them, but the artist should have that in writing!
I don't 100% agree with the "tattoo artists have lives outside work, kids, etc, so they can get flustered, nervous, have tons of things on their mind". Yes, lives can an impact on their work but they are tattoing something that stays on the body for years. They have to make sure that what they're doing is correct. Would you want your doctor to be like "Ohh, got a small kid at home so I can barely hold my eyes open, I'll just poke you several times until I find veins..." No, you wouldn't. If an artist owns up the mistake, it's all good. But if they're making the same mistake over and over again, or getting all pissy when mistake is pointed out, then they gotta stop being an tattoo artist.
Agreed. The first guy seems genuinely nice, but if he's that strung out from new baby (understandable) maybe don't take the walk-in because you're basically begging for an error to be made.
Celle, I love your videos. I don't have any tattoos, have never thought about getting one, and don't even know much about the process, but I love watching your videos! Your voice is relaxing.
lol my first tattoo i ever got was a ship with the name "ong ong" (a reference to a blur song), my tattoo artist printed the stencil out and placed it on me, but one of the words was missing a letter so i pointed it out. maybe its bc i was a huge fan of tattoo culture before i even got my first tattoo, it was a no brainer to me to throughly look and point out the mistake. luckily she put the missing letter back in with no problem! i think it's the duty of both the artist and the person getting the tattoo to ensure everything is spelt correctly, bc its two sets of eyes monitoring it. like yeah there are ways to cover up or alter a tattoo after the fact, or even in the first case you mentioned have it be hilarious -- but to berate an artist after you waived any responsibility on their part is completely irresponsible on your part :// tattooing is a mutual transaction that should be handled with respect on both ends!
I do like the idea of embracing a misspelling as a “life isn’t that serious” moment but if I was getting something really meaningful and it was misspelled I would be upset. I’m sure at some point I will get a silly tattoo to remind myself that it’s just not that serious
i can definitely see how mistakes happen like this. i went into a random shop for a walk in when i was 19 to get a song lyric tattoo. the artist had me hand write out the words three times then verify. he had another artist verify the spelling. he got the stencil ready, and i asked for it to be resized. he resized it and asked for verification again and i said "yeah. it's all good except the second word is misspelled." he was horrified. the stencil hadn't even been placed yet but he couldn't believe a spelling mistake got through so many steps.
i only have a tattoo, a quote from a book, my tattoo artist asked me twice to spellcheck the design especially because it was in english, we are spanish speakers and i guess she's not fluent in english, and since i was so paranoid i asked my friend who came with me to check it too. but the other day i was on instagram and this tattoo artist i follow posted a story with the next text tattoo she was going to do and i immediately realized it was a song title and that it was misspelled, so i quickly dmed her. she didn't know it was a song title, so even though the quote was gramatically correct, it wasn't the actual title of the song, and the client didn't catch it either (this was definitely on the client i think). 📒
I don't know, I feel there's a pretty big difference in effort between accidentally dropping a letter and not bothering to check if you spelled a word correctly in the first place. Both are bad because this a permanent change to someone's body, and while I understand that these things happen, one 2-second Google search would've made the difference.
😆😆 Excellent! I used to know someone who had sharpied "Sex Pi" on his arm and then given up!! A few years later I bumped into him again and he STILL hadn't finished it! 😆 That Sid VISCOUS one is funnier though. Reminds me of the famous well done tatt of Jimi Hendrixs head and the writing "Bob Marley" underneath. 🤣
@@splicedup13The one crying artist did use spell check, and it changed the word. The client also has just as much ability, and more responsibility, to look up the correct spelling.
i mean, when you go to a tattoo artist you're under the assumption that they know how to do their job, which includes spelling out words correctly. a lot of people are bad at spelling, but the difference is that if you're a tattoo artist, you know you can't be casually bad at spelling. it seems like a layman vs professional sort of thing
As much as I think it’s mostly the client’s “fault” if they approve a misspelled tattoo I do think its very concerning that Sprig has had this issue twice before… and the past mistakes seemed to have been totally on her. I don’t think she should be accepting script tattoos anymore to be honest…
I was going to say that a lama is also a title for a spiritual leader. Like the Dali Lama. A two L llama is a four legged beast, and a three L lllama is a really big fire.
I love what you said about tattoos not needing to be perfect. I have a lot of apprentice tattoos and I love every single one of them. Even the ones that are blown out or shaky. My local studio has had some really wonderful young women come and go as apprentices over the years (small shop so often they'll move on to something bigger). As an artist and a woman myself I feel totally honoured to be able to give other young women the chance to develop their craft. So I could never care if every line isn't perfect or if the ink doesn't hold in quite the same as some of my other tattoos. I got my thumb tattooed by my local's current apprentice recently and it was her first time doing a hand tattoo. That's invaluable to me. And she killed it btw it looks great. I'll always be happy to take a chance on young artists.
For me, the difference is in the design process, the first girls brought the sketch in, and you could see how the artist just took that and went with it, thinking of it more as a design than looking at the lettering/spelling, and he as you said, he likely didn't type it out, so it is much more understandable. In the second one, it was impromptu, and the client asked the artist if she could do that, and she said yes, and that is what makes it more on the artist in my opinion. She did the design, and with the line through it, it is a little harder to catch, and I know I would probably be more focused on the placement/font then really looking at the lettering. The client should not have spoken to her like she did, and I don't think it's all the artists fault, but that one for me is more murky.
The client posted a video. She said she wasn’t rude and didn’t call her names. The tattoo now looks awful, it’s like a gash you can see the indents in the skin
This is the first time ive had the backwards tattoo thing explained. Thanks! Ive always wondered which way is the right way but never thought to google it lmao
I actually like the typo in "everything is fine" , because it reminds you to stay cool, and be optimistic. also the Y sounds like WHY, so maybe the WHY is missing, a reminder to don't overthink things
I'm sympathetic to these artists (especially seeing how upset they are) & I understand that mistakes happen, especially in the case of a client giving something handwritten, but this is a permanent piece on someone's body; there needs to be responsibly on both client & artist. I also sympathize that tattoo artists have a lot on their plates, but so does everyone else. When I worked with graphic design, yes, it was our job to design, but if that design had text, we had to make sure everything was spelled correctly & sounded cohesive; otherwise, we correct it or bring it to the client's attention to make sure that's how they really wanted it to read. If the client is in a hurry, they need to be slowed down, or you aren't the right artist for them; don't let the client be detrimental to the outcome. In the end, tattoo artists can save themselves a lot of trouble & grief by making sure any instances of typos are confirmed & signed off by the client as correct or fixed. It will also help them be more efficient & professional. Will this prevent all mistakes, no, but it can prevent most.
Yeah, not only is it spelt wrong but in my opinion it is very poorly done. Still, what can we expect, people will always get bad tattoos and often won't notice what others do. I have one myself and people compliment me about it even though it is terrible. Fortunately it's not massive.
IF you sign paperwork saying that any misspellings are not the artist’s responsibility, then it’s not the artist’s responsibility. That said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask a client to make sure words/names are spelled correctly (or spelled the way they want it spelled) once the stencil is placed.
Update the second one please! Spriggs really messed up that girls arm... the client posted videos telling her side of the story and it's not at all what the artist said
I have a lot of tattoos but only 2 with words. I straight away checked the spelling whilst watching this video lol. I think ultimately it's up to the client to confirm everything is spelled correctly. You are choosing to modify your body for life. Saying that I don't tend to take my tattoos too seriously so the first story was so good and I loved how everyone handled it. I would have got the misspelt version though to match.
I feel like the first tattoo getting corrected before going on the second person kinda cancels out the “matching bestie” tattoo idea they were going for but I’m glad they made light of the situation!
this isn’t fair. you should be able to trust an artist to spell something you ask them to spell correctly & they should do their best to make sure it’s correct- waiver or not. people who aren’t great at spelling or have dyslexia deserve tattoos that are spelled correctly & i’m sorry you feel this way bc artists refuse to take accountability when they eff up.
Celle, did you see the reply from Sprigs’ client? I watched a different video about this before watching yours and I was surprised you didn’t show the client’s side of the story 😮
I feel the imperfections of tattoos would make a great video, not taking into account misspellings. I have one that should be symmetrical but just isn't, it's definitely a topic that would be interesting to visit.
I totally understand how these mistakes can happen. I got a tattoo of a blueberry branch and the blueberries ended up backwards (like with the "crown" part by the stem rather than on the end where theyre supposed to be) I sent my artist reference pics and was so excited for the tattoo and focused on the placement that i didnt notice the detail of the berries. I trusted my tattoo artist to do it correctly because i sent her references, but i also know i should have double checked it was correct myself. I wasnt mad at her but the situation did suck for both of us. She was super nice and apologetic when i noticed and she did her best to cover it up and fix it for free. At the end of the day, this is a risk of getting permanent art on your body. Tattoo artists are human and mistakes are bound to happen. Yes, it is the artists responsibility to be careful and check the designs, but im also sympathetic to these artists who make mistakes sometimes.
Artists are not machines and I’m all for giving people grace. But you cannot convince me that a tattoo artist who is doing word or phrase tattoos is “not paid to spell”. They quite literally are being paid to spell something permanently on a body.

Gotta say, I actually find it funny as hell that someone with ink all over their FACE, neck, etc... is so distraught about this. As a person who thinks most tattoos a little silly at best ridiculous at worst (face...check back in how cool you are in your 50s, 60s...share with us the missed opportunities in life, etc...that's if they reach their 50s) so few people will ever notice even if it was never fixed. I see tattoos, and could not care less exactly what you have. Also, this woman no doubt runs around like she's hard af, I am enjoying the schadenfreude
I was just about to point this out as I had seen the response from the client and she refutes this narrative of her swearing and being rude.

@@dot4562exactly! 😂😂
especially as it is a friendship tattoo - having a misspelling from one of the friends arguably makes it more special
Agreed! I would smile that much more when looking at it. 📔
I was thinking "is she the first one to get it? If so the rest should be the typo in solidarity, it would be awesome"
I have a misspelled kanji tattoo, it was supposed to say “prayer to God from Kyoto” and instead it says “prayer to God from bank account” - I love this mistake so much, I’ll never change it 😂
omg 😂
That's hilarious, I'd prolly keep it too haha
Who doesn’t prayed to this God if we are honest🤣🤣
Bank account 😂
Hahahahaaaaa, I LOVE IT!!
When I worked at a tattoo shop, we passed around stencils for every single tattoo that had text to at least 3-4 people in the shop. Everyone had to read and approve it before it went on skin.
That’s exactly what should happen. Coming from the print/publishing industry proof reading was a huge deal and you NEVER proof your own work. It had to go through a few people first.
The new age social media has caused a lack of respect and awareness. The internet gives off this idea that being a tattoo artist because you bought equipment off of Amazon. Maybe watched a few videos. Then decided it's good enough to start tattooing. In my opinion, that's a big disrespect towards the body modification industry. That lady tattooer let her ego get in the way. Why didn't she check the spelling before and after putting the stencil on??? What a lazy person. Tattooing isn't for lazy people who can't spell.....
She should be fired. That tattoo was absolutely terrible anyway. It would be easy to cover up
❤
maybe do an update on the “love conquers all” client bc i keep getting tiktoks on my fyp from the client herself calling out sprigs for lying about the experience?? idk if that’s the truth, but it’s definitely something to look into bc i STAY getting her tiktoks!!
Yea I came to the comments to see if someone was mentioning this. Spriggs also damaged her skin severely on top of the lying.😊
I did not mean to add a smiley face lol
Sprigs later blamed the client for having dark skin on why Sprigs fucked it up. Add in that she was representing a black woman as much more aggressive than she was and the fact that this happened in a very racist area of the US, it's very clear Sprigs is just straight up racist.
Omg.....in my opinion. They should have spelled BOTH tattoos without the "Y". then they would both have matching tattoos, with a funny memory... But now they have two different tattoos, they wanted MATCHING tattoos. There's nothing wrong with the missing "Y". It's the irony, the joke, .
Yeah but once, it happened. The other time, it would've been copied. I can kinda see why the artist felt that for this one, the thing that makes it perfect is not repeatable.
I just want to say that for the second tattoo TikTok thing, the client has made response videos to this and said that she never cursed out the tattoo artist. And the client says that the artist blocked her all over social media when she was commenting on the artist's videos about the situation.
I think they also showed that the artist worked the line so hard it basically gouged her skin. It doesn't help the client was black, and artists mistakenly think black skin requires working the tattoo harder
That part.
I also question why this tattoo artist felt the need to make this "poor me" tiktok, painting the client in such a difficult combative light. As for not feeling her best that day, she never communicated that to the client. In her response video she said she'd obviously have come back another day if she knew this artist wasn't feeling up to it.
Overall it's pretty sus on the part of the tattooer. I think celle should make a followup on this story, simply to show the client's side.
@@kiwikomo486 I had the same thought; especially since all of the information is available to her
There's been a video update posted from the client "love conquers all" and their side of story, apparently the tattoo artist blocked them on everything and they never were rude to the artist.
So...
With the crying tattooist, the client came forward and explained what happened from her point of view and also mentioned that the tattooist blocked her when she made the video. Someone else mentioned that tattooist went through skin there was a mid hole in between her skin.
I would definitely not want to get my tattoo fixed when my tattoo artist is an emotional wreck and distracted, too. And the way she was in her video I can't imagine her being calm in person.
It's kind of baffling to me that she made a video about it at all. If the client didn't post about it in the first place, what's the point?
yeah i’m assuming she’s not well versed in tattooing darker skin so that just adds insult to injury. really sucks that the client left with a wound and a fked up tattoo 😭
the client also said that she was not cursing out the artist at all! weird for her to be blocked when the artist is saying she would continue trying to fix it!
What
The tattoo artist ruined that person's skin. They have a sizeable slice in their skin that is not going to heal properly. The not sliced part is illegible
as somebody with dysgraphia, i would absolutely be like the everthing’s fine girl 😭😭 lol
Same! The first time I saw that video I had no idea what was wrong 😂😂😂
I also have dysgraphia (but not dyslexia) and so while I am really good at proofreading and spelling...writing, not so much. I really don't want anyone to get my handwriting tattooed on them ever lmao there would be so many crossings out and it would be basically illegible haha
Sameee, dysgraphic and dyslexic person here
The appropriate way to distinguish a scenario like this is basically as follows:
• The customer is responsible for spotting any misspellings present in the example+stencil, because they're the ones approving the entire process leading up to the needle being inked. *(tattoo = stencil)*
• The artist is responsible for the misspelling if they messed it up _during the tattoo,_ when the stencil and customer proofed a correct example+stencil prior to ink. *(tattoo ≠ stencil)*
This is realistically the cleanest line of responsibility, IMO. However, neither party should be verbally abusive whatsoever.
That said, as an artist and habitual editor, regardless, I would personally be very frustrated if I didn't notice my own misspelling, or didn't notice AND VERIFY THE CUSTOMER'S INTENTION about a misspelling in _their_ example, leading to a misspelled stencil and tattoo (in accordance with the criteria above).
Yes!
what about a client telling an artist verbally what they want & the artist designs the tattoo with the wrong word & the client doesn’t notice? who’s at fault there? still the client? you don’t feel bad at all for not doing a quick google search before drawing something up? that’s what happened to the second client. tattoo artist didn’t want to deal with her at all, so she gave her poor service.
the client of the concours/conquers tattoo posted videos on tiktok with screenshots for proof. the artist lied about being cursed out, she also lied about a few other aspects of the story and then when the client saw the video and DMed her, that artist BLOCKED HER. while she was putting out videos claiming "all she has to do is reach out and I'll fix it more" she had the woman blocked so how could she reach out? you definitely misrepresented that situation
still the client's fault for it being mispelled. you sign a wavier for this exact reason. people need to read those things before blindly signing them.
@@WinterDarkpool ngl the artist dumb for that how they fuck up that bad
@@XO.tattoosByLaliSome people have dyslexia. Doesn't mean they're dumb.
How did the client fuck it up? Is she also dumb?
Screenshots for what she spoke? Huh? How do you know who was actually lying? Was there a video of the whole interaction? Or just of DMs?
She could reach out by going to the shop, maybe? Pick up the phone?
I've only seen one side of the story so far.
Honestly the spelling would be the last of my concerns. That artist chewed tf out of her skin
In the second situation, the client actually came onto TikTok and said that the tattoo artist blocked her on TikTok and Instagram after the client saw her video pop up and was supposedly lying about certain things in her story and when she tried to confront her about it, that’s when she blocked her on everything. The client also showed what the tattoo looks like right now and it does not look good and it does not look like it’s healing properly. Oh and the tattoo artist also said she has misspelled tattoos before so this is not the first time she has done this unfortunately.
Doesn't matter if she has misspelled tattoos before in the past, you literally sign a wavier when you get tattoos stating that you as the client are responsible for making sure spelling is correct. Should the artist have blocked her, no. Is it the artist's fault, again no.
@@WinterDarkpool This is correct. Although the artist is free to block anyone they want, if you ask me.
@@claytonberg721you guys are f*cking weird & if you’re a tattoo artist, pls drop your shop so i can make sure me & no one that i know goes to your shop. a bad tattoo is a bad tattoo & this was a bad tattoo plus a whiney artist. embarrassing display of bad work & emotional manipulation.
@@WinterDarkpool Two things can be true at once and although I believe the client should have been more more vigilant, at the end of the day the tattoo artist was extremely unprofessional not just the fact she ran to the internet but also the fact she lied about how the client reacted to the situation and so it’s a bad reflection on her and the shop she works for. In my opinion it is still ethically a tattoo artist’s job to also be vigilant when it comes to these things to prevent them from happening (you know since they’re professionals) because sometimes clients/customers aren’t always paying attention in the moment. PLUS the tattoo also looks like shit now on top of everything.
@@claytonberg721she said the client is free to reach out whenever they want to fix it again
No! The "love conquers all" client actually made a statement. Her artist blocked her completely when she left the studio. Her client never said those mean words to her until after she left
The client has finally broke their silence abt it and has shown live footage of what the tattoo looks like now and Sprigs absolutely TORTURED this poor girl, she is mutilated now…they went so incredibly deep into the clients’ skin and it’s healing with so much scar tissue. She also defended her behavior, she said that she never called anyone an inflammatory name but was reasonably upset
So I saw a follow up from the person who actually got the second misspelled tattoo and she was saying how she didn’t understand why the artist came crying onto tiktok when the client was happy to sort things out in person (the artist blocked her on everything so she couldn’t even stitch the original post or anything) The client also said she never swore at the artist and from her pictures the artist gave her a way too deep tattoo and it looks awful. I think it’s important to note the white artist came onto social crying etc making the black client seem awful when it sounds like there is more to it than that.
I remember fussing so much over whether I needed to get my first tattoos touched up to look "perfect." Then my friend said to me that she wouldn't want her tattoos to be "perfect" because they almost wouldn't feel real, or something. It totally changed my perspective and I've been a lot more relaxed about the little imperfections in the tattoos I've gotten since. You're totally right, it's part of the character of tattoos.
My first tattoo was a Chinese dragon, small, on my hip when I was 19. I'm now 47 and it's so blurred, stretched, had a skin tag grow on it and split it in half. I think it's hilarious how far removed it is from. When I was younger, it was sexy. Now it's pathetic, and that's fine! 😅
The everthing's fine tattoo is the best example of a "happy accident" I've seen in tattooing lol
I think misspelled tattoos are fun if you own them
As long as they enhance or make the message still meaningful tbh
Depends
Depends, imagine if it was your dead relatives name. I think the "everthing's fine" thing is the only type of scenario that works in.
I went to a well established tattoo shop in Los Angeles to get tattooed by a well known artist. After my first session I noticed there was a misspelling but it was in a very fancy calligraphy style so the missing letter wasn’t obvious. I waited until at the end of the second and final session. (total time for the tattoo was about 10 hours. It was a 12 inch by 8 inch realistic black & grey with mini tattoos & writing at the bottom) I waited because I knew there wasn’t much that could be done. I wanted my artist fully focused on what he was doing rather than stressing about the missing letter. Also, during the first session he bought me dinner, offered the shirt off his own back that had the shop logo because they were out of new shirts to sell and he was just all around a great person to talk to. I was having the best experience. Top it off, the morning of my first session I actually saw Bob Roberts in person. So much good was happening I couldn’t care less about the misspelling. He also had shown me the drawing several times and I missed it. But he fixed it and apologized. My approach to tattooing is that it’s done by real people in real time. Of course aim for the best. But when mistakes happen, it’s okay. Worst case scenario you can black it out or get laser removal. But the memories around getting tattoos should be forever.
This is such an important comment
Please do an update on the love conquers all tattoo because the tattoo artist went way too deep and it's a wound now that's it's a common issue that people of colour experience
I like the “Everthing’s fine” tattoo. What a nice little memory
You should look further into the second tattoo situation. The tattooer is not telling the full story and 100% weaponized her tears to get sympathy and paint the client as the angry Black woman. She told the client, I’ll fix it “if you’re respectful.” Nah. She was microaggressive as hell. The client had receipts. Also she mangled her skin. I don’t see how people didn’t see that
I’m a Mom who tattoos, and I just book my clients in early while my kid’s in school and they work around my schedule. It’s a lot more flexible than a lot of jobs out there
Spriggs saying “I hate when I do this” definitely says a lot about the situation. I 100% take responsibility for whatever I allow someone to tattoo on my body. If there’s a spelling mistake, I would blame myself. But her saying she’s done it multiple times, is a bit much. Yikes.
Yeah it's concerning she admits this has happened before. If you have made this mistake before why did you not learn from the situation so repeat instances don't happen to other clients? Running the design through an automatic spell check is *not* adequate diligence.
Also major red flag that she was upset someone was at the shop because, "I didn't want to tattoo anyone today at all." Like, girl.. what?
It goes beyond a misspelling. That tattoo is hammered! From the pictures I have seen of it healing, it looks infected and like it’s going to keloid on the client
Concours as a misspelling is INSANE
I know right? It's not even English. When I heard the mistake, I was thinking she wrote conkers not concours
The Love conquers all became Love concours all. Is actually an interesting misspell from the perspective of a French/English speaking writer. Here is why: concours is French for "contest". Which is true because after all love is a "battle field"!
Please do an update on the second one! Spriggs really messed that clients arm up! Like it's an open wound rather than a normal tattoo
Noo, the friend should have got it matching! If that’s what she wanted fine but if it was me I would have happily got everthing 😂
The empathy and compassion you have for both customers and artists is really refreshing, Celle. Subbed!
🤣🤣🤣Celle! I saw the misspelled name on the tombstone- hilarious! Thanks again for another great vid!
6:17 ⭕
I thought I was going crazy when I saw that 😭
is she trying to mind control meh? i caught it, then paused at 0.25 speed. it's ominous. and creepy. voodoo?
I saw it too!! Ok glad I’m not the only one lmaooo I almost feel like she put it there so we’d comment on it 😹😹
Someone messed up lol
@@harshdeepbilaiya3076I did the same exact thing 😭😭😭
The second one, love conquers all… we do indeed have a photo/ video of what it looks like after the correction! Sprigs really chewed up the clients skin on top of the misspelling! The tattoo was clearly overworked and the artist blocked the client on everything. That’s suspicious. I 100% don’t believe the customer cursed at her either.
There's an update on the love conquers all tattoo ! Would love to see a follow up video on that ^^
I'm glad that people aren't too hard on the artists, I'm a graphic designer and it's so easy to unsee mistakes when you've been staring at something for hours! You're focused on a million other things, spelling is up to the copywriters, and I think with tattoo artists, the client should should stop and ask, did we both spellcheck that? The client need to take some responsibility for what goes on their own body.
“everthing’s fine” is actually perfect tbh. if ANYTHING is going to be misspelled, that is so ironic it’s hilarious and seems intentional. kinda love it
btw “lama” is her surname (LaMattin) shortened, hence the spelling haha!
Appreciate your tone and approach. You sound like the sweetest girl. Good content.
You're almost at 100k!!! congrats giirl
Thank you I know crazyy!! 😋
@@celle_tattooyou are now! Wooo
The thing that freaks me out is that she says she's done this multiple times AND forces her clients to sign waivers saying it's not her fault if she fucks up?? That's INSANE.
a lot of tattoo artists have stuff like this in their waivers. no one is being forced to sign a waiver… you can simply say no thanks and don’t get a tattoo.
Every artist has a disclaimer like this, because it's not the artist responsibility to make sure things are spelled correctly. Sometimes they are in different languages, sometimes name spellings are a little different. I expect all of my clients to be properly informed on what THEY are choosing to put on THEIR bodies.
see this is the problem with the second artist entirely. there should be waivers to protect good artists who may get effed over. a waiver should not be there to protect a straight up BAD TATTOO JOB & POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. artists should be protected but NOT THIS ARTIST.
For the second, the tattoo artist blocked the girl, not only spelled wrong but damaged her skin.
Congrats on your 100k subscribers!🎉
📒As a tattoo artist, I've mispelled a few things. I was in spelling bees when I was a kid, and in honors classes all throughout schooling, so it's not a skill issue. The issue is when people give me mispellings or expect me to know the correct spelling of a language I don't speak. I've tattooed the name "Magdlena" on someone because she swore up and down that was her mother's name, but came back a week later wondering if we could change it to Magdalena. I tattooed an Lozengra when it was supposed to be Lozengara (client was drunk, and claimed it was spelled right). I've tattooed the wrong death date for someone's child even though I ALWAYS have people check the paper twice, check the stencil, I read it back to them, I hand them the paper and let them hold it for a moment. I do literally everything in my power to make sure I am not making a mistake, but it's always the clients. Then they try to blame it on me, despite me giving them multiple chances to change the tattoo before it's permanent...
I work in a private studio so we don’t get many walk ins and are responsible for our own schedules so I can’t relate to that stress. But every time I’ve ever done lettering, dates or names I make the client check it at least 5 times. I send the design days before, have them check it when they come to the shop, and again once the stencil is on. I probably annoy them I ask them to check again so many times 🫨 I always stress to them that once I tattoo it, I can’t change the spelling. It’s genuinely one of my biggest fears as a tattoo artist. I like to think myself good at spelling, but the simplest words start to look strange if you look at them too long and I totally get how this could happen.
There’s been an update on TikTok from the client of the love conquers all tattoo. She claims that she never cussed at her or anything like that. 😬
For the second one, the client has a video on tiktok showing the tattoo and it’s bad. The artist dug so deep into her skin, it looks cut up. I think she is either going to a hospital or has gone to one because of it. On top of that, she also talked about the interaction and she was not as rude/mean as the artist was leading people to believe she was.
Thank you for explaining the "backwards tattoo" thing because I was so confused when he said that lol.
When I was 18 I got a rosary on my wrist and the cross is right side up when I have my arm up, and I remember another kid at school kept saying it's upside down, it just didn't make sense to me to have the rosary oriented the other way lol 😂
Hi Celle. I recently came across your channel and I'm hooked! 😁 I personally think that it's the artist's duty and responsibility to make sure that a word is spelled correctly before tattooing it. This is for their own benefit and protection, as well as their client's.
Just a quick chat with the client about the word or phrase desired, followed by a spell check would clarify things. Also, if the artist notices that a client has spelled a word incorrectly, they should point that out to the client before proceeding. Of course, if the client wants it spelled incorrectly, then that's up to them, but the artist should have that in writing!
I don't 100% agree with the "tattoo artists have lives outside work, kids, etc, so they can get flustered, nervous, have tons of things on their mind". Yes, lives can an impact on their work but they are tattoing something that stays on the body for years. They have to make sure that what they're doing is correct.
Would you want your doctor to be like "Ohh, got a small kid at home so I can barely hold my eyes open, I'll just poke you several times until I find veins..." No, you wouldn't.
If an artist owns up the mistake, it's all good. But if they're making the same mistake over and over again, or getting all pissy when mistake is pointed out, then they gotta stop being an tattoo artist.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Agreed. The first guy seems genuinely nice, but if he's that strung out from new baby (understandable) maybe don't take the walk-in because you're basically begging for an error to be made.
Celle, I love your videos. I don't have any tattoos, have never thought about getting one, and don't even know much about the process, but I love watching your videos! Your voice is relaxing.
lol my first tattoo i ever got was a ship with the name "ong ong" (a reference to a blur song), my tattoo artist printed the stencil out and placed it on me, but one of the words was missing a letter so i pointed it out. maybe its bc i was a huge fan of tattoo culture before i even got my first tattoo, it was a no brainer to me to throughly look and point out the mistake. luckily she put the missing letter back in with no problem!
i think it's the duty of both the artist and the person getting the tattoo to ensure everything is spelt correctly, bc its two sets of eyes monitoring it. like yeah there are ways to cover up or alter a tattoo after the fact, or even in the first case you mentioned have it be hilarious -- but to berate an artist after you waived any responsibility on their part is completely irresponsible on your part :// tattooing is a mutual transaction that should be handled with respect on both ends!
I do like the idea of embracing a misspelling as a “life isn’t that serious” moment but if I was getting something really meaningful and it was misspelled I would be upset. I’m sure at some point I will get a silly tattoo to remind myself that it’s just not that serious
I like the bob-omb from the first story.
Also, the om-nom-nom kitty from 16:47 was totes adorbs.
you're so close to 100k subs. You've come a long way :)
i can definitely see how mistakes happen like this. i went into a random shop for a walk in when i was 19 to get a song lyric tattoo. the artist had me hand write out the words three times then verify. he had another artist verify the spelling. he got the stencil ready, and i asked for it to be resized. he resized it and asked for verification again and i said "yeah. it's all good except the second word is misspelled." he was horrified.
the stencil hadn't even been placed yet but he couldn't believe a spelling mistake got through so many steps.
Will you be doing a follow-up video on the 2nd issue? With the Love "conquers" all drama?
Came here to ask the same thing! Everyone’s getting the wrong side of the story
i only have a tattoo, a quote from a book, my tattoo artist asked me twice to spellcheck the design especially because it was in english, we are spanish speakers and i guess she's not fluent in english, and since i was so paranoid i asked my friend who came with me to check it too.
but the other day i was on instagram and this tattoo artist i follow posted a story with the next text tattoo she was going to do and i immediately realized it was a song title and that it was misspelled, so i quickly dmed her. she didn't know it was a song title, so even though the quote was gramatically correct, it wasn't the actual title of the song, and the client didn't catch it either (this was definitely on the client i think).
📒
The love conquers all tattoo has an update! I know nothing about tattoos but apparently the tattoo was way too deep
Best way to start the day - with a Celle post
omg so happy to hear that :)) !!
I don't know, I feel there's a pretty big difference in effort between accidentally dropping a letter and not bothering to check if you spelled a word correctly in the first place. Both are bad because this a permanent change to someone's body, and while I understand that these things happen, one 2-second Google search would've made the difference.
I met a guy in a tattoo shop with Sid Viscous tattooed across his throat in the traditional ransom note letters. Amazing
😆😆 Excellent! I used to know someone who had sharpied "Sex Pi" on his arm and then given up!! A few years later I bumped into him again and he STILL hadn't finished it! 😆
That Sid VISCOUS one is funnier though. Reminds me of the famous well done tatt of Jimi Hendrixs head and the writing "Bob Marley" underneath. 🤣
@@Rugmunchersauce3
So is Sid “Juicy” too?😂😂
I think a lot of people don't understand personal responsibility. If you want a tattoo, it is your job to make sure it is spelled correctly.
Absolutely but it makes sense to want an artist to have enough pride in their work to be attentive to those types of details
Sure but wouldn't you want to make the very minimal effort it takes to spell check? So your art isn't misspelled??
@@missknight9 That's fair
Absolutely. End of story. They are not an English teacher, they aren't expected to be able to spell any better than the client.
@@splicedup13The one crying artist did use spell check, and it changed the word. The client also has just as much ability, and more responsibility, to look up the correct spelling.
i mean, when you go to a tattoo artist you're under the assumption that they know how to do their job, which includes spelling out words correctly. a lot of people are bad at spelling, but the difference is that if you're a tattoo artist, you know you can't be casually bad at spelling. it seems like a layman vs professional sort of thing
+1
As much as I think it’s mostly the client’s “fault” if they approve a misspelled tattoo I do think its very concerning that Sprig has had this issue twice before… and the past mistakes seemed to have been totally on her. I don’t think she should be accepting script tattoos anymore to be honest…
Congrats on hitting 100k, dear! Nice work!
Love the videos been watch for months now!!!
thank you so much 🤗
Lama in the creator's username clearly comes from their last name 😂😂😂
I was going to say that a lama is also a title for a spiritual leader. Like the Dali Lama. A two L llama is a four legged beast, and a three L lllama is a really big fire.
The client posted a picture of the tattoo spriggs did. It looks awful and it’s scarred.
Where can we she it?
Love's revenge.
It took me about TWO MINUTES but I absolutely get why she’s LAUGHING like that at “Everthing’s Fine” the Irony has me CRYING 😂😂😂
I love what you said about tattoos not needing to be perfect. I have a lot of apprentice tattoos and I love every single one of them. Even the ones that are blown out or shaky. My local studio has had some really wonderful young women come and go as apprentices over the years (small shop so often they'll move on to something bigger). As an artist and a woman myself I feel totally honoured to be able to give other young women the chance to develop their craft. So I could never care if every line isn't perfect or if the ink doesn't hold in quite the same as some of my other tattoos. I got my thumb tattooed by my local's current apprentice recently and it was her first time doing a hand tattoo. That's invaluable to me. And she killed it btw it looks great. I'll always be happy to take a chance on young artists.
Having “Everything’s fine” misspelled is actually so perfect
omg YOU MADE IT TO 100k congrats 🥳🥳
As an artist, they should know typos happen, check for typos, and if they find a typo, ask if the client wants to keep it or not
For me, the difference is in the design process, the first girls brought the sketch in, and you could see how the artist just took that and went with it, thinking of it more as a design than looking at the lettering/spelling, and he as you said, he likely didn't type it out, so it is much more understandable. In the second one, it was impromptu, and the client asked the artist if she could do that, and she said yes, and that is what makes it more on the artist in my opinion. She did the design, and with the line through it, it is a little harder to catch, and I know I would probably be more focused on the placement/font then really looking at the lettering. The client should not have spoken to her like she did, and I don't think it's all the artists fault, but that one for me is more murky.
100k!!!! Congrats Celle!!
The second one, the client has responded..
The client posted a video. She said she wasn’t rude and didn’t call her names. The tattoo now looks awful, it’s like a gash you can see the indents in the skin
Came across the channel by accident & enjoyed watching👍
This is the first time ive had the backwards tattoo thing explained. Thanks! Ive always wondered which way is the right way but never thought to google it lmao
I actually like the typo in "everything is fine" , because it reminds you to stay cool, and be optimistic. also the Y sounds like WHY, so maybe the WHY is missing, a reminder to don't overthink things
I'm sympathetic to these artists (especially seeing how upset they are) & I understand that mistakes happen, especially in the case of a client giving something handwritten, but this is a permanent piece on someone's body; there needs to be responsibly on both client & artist. I also sympathize that tattoo artists have a lot on their plates, but so does everyone else. When I worked with graphic design, yes, it was our job to design, but if that design had text, we had to make sure everything was spelled correctly & sounded cohesive; otherwise, we correct it or bring it to the client's attention to make sure that's how they really wanted it to read. If the client is in a hurry, they need to be slowed down, or you aren't the right artist for them; don't let the client be detrimental to the outcome. In the end, tattoo artists can save themselves a lot of trouble & grief by making sure any instances of typos are confirmed & signed off by the client as correct or fixed. It will also help them be more efficient & professional. Will this prevent all mistakes, no, but it can prevent most.
the 2nd person who got the tattoo done posted an update and it looks like it was done sooo deep she literally cut through the skin
Yeah, not only is it spelt wrong but in my opinion it is very poorly done. Still, what can we expect, people will always get bad tattoos and often won't notice what others do.
I have one myself and people compliment me about it even though it is terrible. Fortunately it's not massive.
IF you sign paperwork saying that any misspellings are not the artist’s responsibility, then it’s not the artist’s responsibility. That said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask a client to make sure words/names are spelled correctly (or spelled the way they want it spelled) once the stencil is placed.
Update the second one please! Spriggs really messed up that girls arm... the client posted videos telling her side of the story and it's not at all what the artist said
I have a lot of tattoos but only 2 with words. I straight away checked the spelling whilst watching this video lol.
I think ultimately it's up to the client to confirm everything is spelled correctly. You are choosing to modify your body for life. Saying that I don't tend to take my tattoos too seriously so the first story was so good and I loved how everyone handled it. I would have got the misspelt version though to match.
I feel like the first tattoo getting corrected before going on the second person kinda cancels out the “matching bestie” tattoo idea they were going for but I’m glad they made light of the situation!
I love the first one! It's cute. I'm from the south and that sounds like something someone's little maw maw would say. It's sweet.
I love that the client was laughing hysterically 😂
love your new hair! ☺️📔
I'm dyslexic and I'm never getting text tattoos because of if this.
this isn’t fair. you should be able to trust an artist to spell something you ask them to spell correctly & they should do their best to make sure it’s correct- waiver or not. people who aren’t great at spelling or have dyslexia deserve tattoos that are spelled correctly & i’m sorry you feel this way bc artists refuse to take accountability when they eff up.
I love how "Cele" is misspelled on your metaphorical tombstone 😂
I love your eyebrows, literally obsessed 📔❤
Celle, did you see the reply from Sprigs’ client? I watched a different video about this before watching yours and I was surprised you didn’t show the client’s side of the story 😮
i love the new hair style celle, beautiful as always, i wish i lived on the west coast so i could hangout with you
Could've been worse - could've said, 'CONKERS'. 🤣
The first one is perfect. Inside joke between friends just adds to it. ❤
I feel the imperfections of tattoos would make a great video, not taking into account misspellings. I have one that should be symmetrical but just isn't, it's definitely a topic that would be interesting to visit.
I totally understand how these mistakes can happen. I got a tattoo of a blueberry branch and the blueberries ended up backwards (like with the "crown" part by the stem rather than on the end where theyre supposed to be) I sent my artist reference pics and was so excited for the tattoo and focused on the placement that i didnt notice the detail of the berries. I trusted my tattoo artist to do it correctly because i sent her references, but i also know i should have double checked it was correct myself. I wasnt mad at her but the situation did suck for both of us. She was super nice and apologetic when i noticed and she did her best to cover it up and fix it for free. At the end of the day, this is a risk of getting permanent art on your body. Tattoo artists are human and mistakes are bound to happen. Yes, it is the artists responsibility to be careful and check the designs, but im also sympathetic to these artists who make mistakes sometimes.
Artists are not machines and I’m all for giving people grace. But you cannot convince me that a tattoo artist who is doing word or phrase tattoos is “not paid to spell”. They quite literally are being paid to spell something permanently on a body.
Love your videos. Always chill.
