2 years ago I got a tattoo from this tattoo artist who seemed very professional and cool. However, towards the end of our tattoo session, she seemed really bummed out about me not wanting to colour or at least shade my outline tattoo. However, this is how I prefer my tattoos to be for now.

In october last year, I decided to text her about a project that was planning because I thought that she would be the best for the job. This time, however, her replies were extremely slow and it took us a whole week to even decide when to arrange a consultation. It took her around 12 hours to reply to a single message on average. When I asked about her availability, she just told me that she would be free after the 23rd so naturally without her telling me exact dates, I suggested the 25th because that was the most convenient for me. She then liked my message and didn't follow-up with any information about the location of the studio that she was currently working in and about the time that I should come in, etc. In general, she seemed very uninterested. I waited until the 25th, but she's still hadn't followed up with the appropriate time and place, so there was no consultation.

Six months after that, I went to the studio that she was working in to get a tattoo by one of her colleagues. She recognised me and asked if we would be doing any more projects together. That's when I told her that I had previously texted her and for some reason, we just couldn't figure out when to meet and discus a design. She didn't seem to remember that it had happened. I decided to give it another chance and texted her about a new design that I would like to do and also mentioned a tattoo voucher that I got, that has her name on it. Turns out, I can't use that voucher with her anymore because she is working in a new studio now. I explained to her, that I did not know that she would be switching studios in that the voucher was technically still valid. I just wanted some info on the voucher and if I could use it in the other studio because it still has her name on it and I don't know if the money will be completely lost now. She just left me on read and didn't follow-up with any information about the voucher itself and also did not ask about the initial design that I texted her about and the confusing situation which had occurred.

I am sitting here wondering if I did something to upset her.Maybe I was too annoying or she doesn't like me in general. Now I feel shitty for proposing an idea and then not following up with a consultation. But at the same time, our conversation didn't really flow. I also worry about potentially going to that studio again and her having an attitude for some reason.
