Ok, so my self-esteem isn't the greatest so this could be me overreacting . . .
Had a friend talk me out of going to a local studio to get a tattoo done because the one she uses, an hour drive away, is really great. So today I drove out there to make an appointment because they needed to look at my design. When I walked in, no one acknowledged me and I didn't think anything of it at first, except when other customers walked in, they were greeted and approached immediately. After a few minutes I walked up to the counter and was asked if I needed any help, I said I wanted to make an appointment for Saturday and the guy who spoke with me told me that the cashier would do that for me. Okay . . . but then he looked at my design and while, admittedly being helpful about what would and wouldn't work with it (it can't really be downsized like I would have liked), he and another artist started laughing and said it looked like a penis. I won't be going back there ever, really unimpressed.
