Three T's Tattoos

When we walked into Triple T's Tattoos the kid that ended up doing my tattoo was napping on a couch in the lobby where customers sit. I thought he was one of the tattooer's kids. Took the kid an hour to get setup. When we sat down to start the tattoo process I asked him to please pay close attention to the lettering detail as I wanted it to look like my wife had written on my wrist. I had to refocus him several times. After he was done I pointed out some errors and things left out. We consulted with shop owner who in turn did my wife's tattoo of my handwriting on her wrist that turned out better but not the pro job you'd expect for something so easy.
What "professional artist" can mess up a simple hand printed stick lettering stencil? Was supposed to be something really meaningful in my life ... now every time I look at the tat all I see is a BIG MISTAKE!
