just did the hair replication (tattoo) procedure...

To be fair to AC it is no secret that the pigment will drop a couple shades during the first few weeks. Im sure it says so on his site.

Well if that is the case then it only makes sense that the larger unnatural dots would start to look like blotches when they fade and get worse and worse with time.

If they are meant to be dark and defined then they should stay that way except very small like hair follicles really are imo.

All procedures look like that now...that's why I make my own needle sets as I mentioned several times. We are posting new photos almost every day. But you must keep in mind that most photos taken are immediately after the procedure. The irritated scalp will subside and the pigment lightens a shade or two during the healing process of about 2 weeks. You are looking at pigment that is just minutes old in some cases, hence it would be darker until it cures.

So what you are saying is that the ink does in fact fade?

And what did you tell the person with the bad job, are you going to correct it for him or does he not care that it looks so unnatural?

So the huge dots were down to dodgy needles, i really dont know what to make of you Mark or AC,
some of your results look fantastic and some not, when rightly questioned on your work you instantly try
to defame Coles character,
acuse him of wrongdoing
with the reposted pictures and then blame your customer for being a fidget and then your tools.
This does'nt inspire confidence in me.

I would need to see many more pictures (pref shaved to match tatt),
video, have a full guarantee of refund and removal as suggested by Cole and
see for myself in the flesh before i even consider this.

Just imagine what damage dodgy work could do to someones life. We cannot take that chance.

(This one of your own blown up images,
I must say this result below looks really good in my opinion. this wasnt messed with by me.)

YES, THIS pic is what I would expect to receive EXACTLY, and NOTHING less. IF these results can be achieved once, why not always?

Well this sounds reasonable, of course I would need to see the contract myself to make sure it covers the refund AND removal process fees etc and so forth but if I had that looked over and it was legit then this would be very good. Looking forward to seeing the video, when you do the video, after you do the start to finish procedure, please also add a full run around of the entire finished procedure a couple months after it had been completed so that we can see if there was any discoloration please. You could of course add that second video later.

I think we are capable of handling it without your help and direction, thank you.

Actually we are working on a video now, it will show the procedure from start to finish. As for the guarantee, this is already written into the documents the client completes when they arrive. I have had the same guarantee for the past 25 years for my custom tattoos as well. Never had any takers. Only one client came back three years later on a custom tattoo and said he thought the red was too bright........even after he tried cooking it in the sun. (He thought it would fade). 90% of my business has been referral and repeat.

If possible, get him to post some videos of course he can keep his face out, but I have honestly yet to see any finished procedure videos anywhere online, this would be much better.

As for the guarantee, instead of just verbally guaranteeing your work. Would you be willing to sign a contract stating if the candidate is unhappy with the procedure do to discoloration or unnatural look due to abnormally large dotting that you will refund the money of the procedure and pay for the removal? THAT would really be something and I am sure a LOT of folks would definitely trust your work more then.

I know that was not your post, and I did read it. But you did quote that post in your post......Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the client (Liquid) is extremely happy. I even have spoken to him very recently and he once again said that it looks great in person and no one knows the difference. I really would like to get better photos posted of him, and I will work on that. But yes, I guarantee all my work and no one yet has been dissatisfied. New photos are posted almost weekly on the site, and everyone can see the quality of the work. I utilize my own hand-made needles now, because at times I had some problems with the commerical needles being "hooked." So I feel this contributed to some of the larger "dot" areas. And you can't even see these bad needles with the naked eye; you need an eye loom. You know how it goes, just about everything is junk nowadays from China, and I have found that needles are different. And, no, I am not passing the blame on China either, it's a fact. So now I make my own needle sets exclusively and use nothing else. (yes, they are autoclaved). Hence, the later photos.

"This would be another
http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-ta...e-balding-man/"

THIS is what I quoted, I never actually gave reference to "the man standing outside the shop", kikijames did. He must have assumed I meant "a guy standing outside of a shop" but those words where not ever posted by me. You just have to slow down and read.

On another note, now that you can clearly see that several people also agree that the particular job that liq posted was done poorly, these are the corresponding opinions of others so if you could explain exactly how this happened any maybe even offer a guarantee or money back and also pay for the removal if the job doesn't turn out as good as the pic on your site with "the guy standing outside your shop" then it would make everyone feel a whole lot better. Is this possible?

"Was this job even done by your company or is it from one of those cosmetic tattoo places?"
whoops, should have read the post entirely
ok you are right cole about the guy on the website standing outside of the shop, looks amazing. I would definately have this done if I could be guaranteed kind of results. This would be another

AC, let me start off by saying this is not any kind of personal attack at all, I personally would love to have this done if it would bring resuts like the ones on your website.
but could this be a result of just a bad job, maybe one of the first replication procedures? It is clear from the pics that this is poor job. My job as a barber was not that great (as with many others) when I first started, now I am a master only because of the years of experience.

He said he was done with this thread, but yes this was HIS job done by him and not very long ago if you read back through the thread from what I can gather.

This is why I couldn't understand with all his years of experience in this how this job turned out so poorly. I would also LOVE to have this procedure done as well if it looked like the pics on his website but it simply doesn't so that is why I asked the questions that I did that as you can see he refused to give CLEAR answers to.

None of what I posted was ever meant to cause trouble, I simply wanted answers as I didn't want this to happen to me

Hmmmmmm, haven't you heard of proxy servers? Let the forum readers decide...end of communication.

Of course I have and don't you have enough common sense to think that if I was the person you keep bringing up that I would have used one to register? lol I mean geeze c'mon here, think before you speak please. The fact that I didn't should be enough to prove I have nothing to hide.

But I guess just about anyone who had an opinion or question that you didn't want to answer openly would just HAVE to be this one person who for whatever reason gave you problems then right?
