Not sure about other artists in the shop but from my personal experience and opinion, don’t get tattooed by Kai unless u wanna be talked into parts of your design that u don’t want to get, then gaslit into thinking it was your idea, then argued with over changes u wanna make to the design, then almost charged for an extra hour of time (I always time it myself to avoid things like this) and then finally hate your tattoo so much that the minute u walked out the door started looking for a different artist to do a complete cover up/rework.
