Lack of communication
In the video, Courtney praised the tattoo artist’s work, but mentioned that she paid US$180 (R$900) for a virtual meeting to discuss the tattoo. Lindsay offered three package options, the cheapest costing $1,500 (R$7,400) with the ability to request the change. The customer chose this option because he was convinced of an excellent result.
an unpleasant surprise
But after Courtney received the sketch, she realized it wasn’t what she had in mind. She quickly contacted the tattoo artist to express her displeasure and request the necessary changes.
Lindsay, on the other hand, said that if Courtney wanted a different model, she would have to pay the difference in the $3,500 (R$17,000) package and accused her of not providing clearer instructions.
