LOL! You gotta go read the rest of those. I can't spell. I claim Dyslexia. (yeah, spell check just corrected that for me) That's my story and I'm sticking to it. However, I do not write permanent (<-- Thanks spell check!) misspellings on people's skin.
The linked articles talk about a "Chi-tonw" tattoo trend. The artist said that he was so involved in the artistic values of the piece, that he didn't notice the misspelled word and neither did the client when he approved the art work on paper.
My first husband was a T-shirt artist back in 1980ish when airbrushed shirts were trendy. He misspelled Hixson High on some guy's expensive shirt. Left out the S. Heck, he was from Brainerd, he didn't know about that S. Another time someone wanted a Camero painted on their shirt. He put the wrong model on the shirt, it was off by one year. The client hit the ceiling. It was beautiful work, could have sold that shirt a hundred times over if it didn't say "Jamie" across the top.
Yeah. I learned a long time ago that you either charge 2-3 times what your work is actually worth to do custom order jobs (factor in a screw up allowance), or you just don't DO custom work. About 1 out of 3 clients will HATE what you do, even if they approved the work every step of the way. Then they will refuse to pay a penny because it's not right... it's only what they asked for, not 'what they had in mind.'
