There is an update with the love conquers all tattoo! The client came out and exposed that artist for lying 😱 The clients tiktok is @laibankss if you'd like to see her side of the story!!

The saving grace for the first one is that spelling it “Everthing’s Fine” adds a beautiful hilarious irony to the tattoo and the experience of getting it that I think gives it an even more powerful meaning. I actually love it, and I’m glad that lady did too.

Celle, for mobile viewers, the red border on the thumbnail makes it look like you’ve already watched the video in full

I have a misspelled kanji tattoo, it was supposed to say “prayer to God from Kyoto” and instead it says “prayer to God from bank account” - I love this mistake so much, I’ll never change it 😂

especially as it is a friendship tattoo - having a misspelling from one of the friends arguably makes it more special

When I worked at a tattoo shop, we passed around stencils for every single tattoo that had text to at least 3-4 people in the shop. Everyone had to read and approve it before it went on skin.

the client of the concours/conquers tattoo posted videos on tiktok with screenshots for proof. the artist lied about being cursed out, she also lied about a few other aspects of the story and then when the client saw the video and DMed her, that artist BLOCKED HER. while she was putting out videos claiming "all she has to do is reach out and I'll fix it more" she had the woman blocked so how could she reach out? you definitely misrepresented that situation

Omg.....in my opinion. They should have spelled BOTH tattoos without the "Y". then they would both have matching tattoos, with a funny memory... But now they have two different tattoos, they wanted MATCHING tattoos. There's nothing wrong with the missing "Y". It's the irony, the joke, .

I just want to say that for the second tattoo TikTok thing, the client has made response videos to this and said that she never cursed out the tattoo artist. And the client says that the artist blocked her all over social media when she was commenting on the artist's videos about the situation.

maybe do an update on the “love conquers all” client bc i keep getting tiktoks on my fyp from the client herself calling out sprigs for lying about the experience?? idk if that’s the truth, but it’s definitely something to look into bc i STAY getting her tiktoks!!

The client has finally broke their silence abt it and has shown live footage of what the tattoo looks like now and Sprigs absolutely TORTURED this poor girl, she is mutilated now…they went so incredibly deep into the clients’ skin and it’s healing with so much scar tissue. She also defended her behavior, she said that she never called anyone an inflammatory name but was reasonably upset

With the crying tattooist, the client came forward and explained what happened from her point of view and also mentioned that the tattooist blocked her when she made the video. Someone else mentioned that tattooist went through skin there was a mid hole in between her skin.

You should look further into the second tattoo situation. The tattooer is not telling the full story and 100% weaponized her tears to get sympathy and paint the client as the angry Black woman. She told the client, I’ll fix it “if you’re respectful.” Nah. She was microaggressive as hell. The client had receipts. Also she mangled her skin. I don’t see how people didn’t see that

as somebody with dysgraphia, i would absolutely be like the everthing’s fine girl 😭😭 lol

In the second situation, the client actually came onto TikTok and said that the tattoo artist blocked her on TikTok and Instagram after the client saw her video pop up and was supposedly lying about certain things in her story and when she tried to confront her about it, that’s when she blocked her on everything. The client also showed what the tattoo looks like right now and it does not look good and it does not look like it’s healing properly. Oh and the tattoo artist also said she has misspelled tattoos before so this is not the first time she has done this unfortunately.

The appropriate way to distinguish a scenario like this is basically as follows: • The customer is responsible for spotting any misspellings present in the example+stencil, because they're the ones approving the entire process leading up to the needle being inked. *(tattoo = stencil)* • The artist is responsible for the misspelling if they messed it up _during the tattoo,_ when the stencil and customer proofed a correct example+stencil prior to ink. *(tattoo ≠ stencil)* This is realistically the cleanest line of responsibility, IMO. However, neither party should be verbally abusive whatsoever. That said, as an artist and habitual editor, regardless, I would personally be very frustrated if I didn't notice my own misspelling, or didn't notice AND VERIFY THE CUSTOMER'S INTENTION about a misspelling in _their_ example, leading to a misspelled stencil and tattoo (in accordance with the criteria above).

There's been a video update posted from the client "love conquers all" and their side of story, apparently the tattoo artist blocked them on everything and they never were rude to the artist. So...

Spriggs saying “I hate when I do this” definitely says a lot about the situation. I 100% take responsibility for whatever I allow someone to tattoo on my body. If there’s a spelling mistake, I would blame myself. But her saying she’s done it multiple times, is a bit much. Yikes.

No! The "love conquers all" client actually made a statement. Her artist blocked her completely when she left the studio. Her client never said those mean words to her until after she left

So I saw a follow up from the person who actually got the second misspelled tattoo and she was saying how she didn’t understand why the artist came crying onto tiktok when the client was happy to sort things out in person (the artist blocked her on everything so she couldn’t even stitch the original post or anything) The client also said she never swore at the artist and from her pictures the artist gave her a way too deep tattoo and it looks awful. I think it’s important to note the white artist came onto social crying etc making the black client seem awful when it sounds like there is more to it than that.

Please do an update on the love conquers all tattoo because the tattoo artist went way too deep and it's a wound now that's it's a common issue that people of colour experience

Concours as a misspelling is INSANE

The thing that freaks me out is that she says she's done this multiple times AND forces her clients to sign waivers saying it's not her fault if she fucks up?? That's INSANE.

The everthing's fine tattoo is the best example of a "happy accident" I've seen in tattooing lol

I think misspelled tattoos are fun if you own them

Please do an update on the second one! Spriggs really messed that clients arm up! Like it's an open wound rather than a normal tattoo

For the second, the tattoo artist blocked the girl, not only spelled wrong but damaged her skin.

I went to a well established tattoo shop in Los Angeles to get tattooed by a well known artist. After my first session I noticed there was a misspelling but it was in a very fancy calligraphy style so the missing letter wasn’t obvious. I waited until at the end of the second and final session. (total time for the tattoo was about 10 hours. It was a 12 inch by 8 inch realistic black & grey with mini tattoos & writing at the bottom) I waited because I knew there wasn’t much that could be done. I wanted my artist fully focused on what he was doing rather than stressing about the missing letter. Also, during the first session he bought me dinner, offered the shirt off his own back that had the shop logo because they were out of new shirts to sell and he was just all around a great person to talk to. I was having the best experience. Top it off, the morning of my first session I actually saw Bob Roberts in person. So much good was happening I couldn’t care less about the misspelling. He also had shown me the drawing several times and I missed it. But he fixed it and apologized. My approach to tattooing is that it’s done by real people in real time. Of course aim for the best. But when mistakes happen, it’s okay. Worst case scenario you can black it out or get laser removal. But the memories around getting tattoos should be forever.

I remember fussing so much over whether I needed to get my first tattoos touched up to look "perfect." Then my friend said to me that she wouldn't want her tattoos to be "perfect" because they almost wouldn't feel real, or something. It totally changed my perspective and I've been a lot more relaxed about the little imperfections in the tattoos I've gotten since. You're totally right, it's part of the character of tattoos.

6:17 ⭕

I don't 100% agree with the "tattoo artists have lives outside work, kids, etc, so they can get flustered, nervous, have tons of things on their mind". Yes, lives can an impact on their work but they are tattoing something that stays on the body for years. They have to make sure that what they're doing is correct. Would you want your doctor to be like "Ohh, got a small kid at home so I can barely hold my eyes open, I'll just poke you several times until I find veins..." No, you wouldn't. If an artist owns up the mistake, it's all good. But if they're making the same mistake over and over again, or getting all pissy when mistake is pointed out, then they gotta stop being an tattoo artist.

I’m a Mom who tattoos, and I just book my clients in early while my kid’s in school and they work around my schedule. It’s a lot more flexible than a lot of jobs out there

Noo, the friend should have got it matching! If that’s what she wanted fine but if it was me I would have happily got everthing 😂

“everthing’s fine” is actually perfect tbh. if ANYTHING is going to be misspelled, that is so ironic it’s hilarious and seems intentional. kinda love it

The second one, love conquers all… we do indeed have a photo/ video of what it looks like after the correction! Sprigs really chewed up the clients skin on top of the misspelling! The tattoo was clearly overworked and the artist blocked the client on everything. That’s suspicious. I 100% don’t believe the customer cursed at her either.

I really disagree with the statement "it's the tattoo artist's job to make sure it's spelled correctly" - no, it's not? it's their job to tattoo you. of course, ideally they would notice and point it out to the client, but their job is not to be a spell checker

For the second one, the client has a video on tiktok showing the tattoo and it’s bad. The artist dug so deep into her skin, it looks cut up. I think she is either going to a hospital or has gone to one because of it. On top of that, she also talked about the interaction and she was not as rude/mean as the artist was leading people to believe she was.

i mean, when you go to a tattoo artist you're under the assumption that they know how to do their job, which includes spelling out words correctly. a lot of people are bad at spelling, but the difference is that if you're a tattoo artist, you know you can't be casually bad at spelling. it seems like a layman vs professional sort of thing

I'm glad that people aren't too hard on the artists, I'm a graphic designer and it's so easy to unsee mistakes when you've been staring at something for hours! You're focused on a million other things, spelling is up to the copywriters, and I think with tattoo artists, the client should should stop and ask, did we both spellcheck that? The client need to take some responsibility for what goes on their own body.

I think a lot of people don't understand personal responsibility. If you want a tattoo, it is your job to make sure it is spelled correctly.

I like the “Everthing’s fine” tattoo. What a nice little memory

I do like the idea of embracing a misspelling as a “life isn’t that serious” moment but if I was getting something really meaningful and it was misspelled I would be upset. I’m sure at some point I will get a silly tattoo to remind myself that it’s just not that serious

There's an update on the love conquers all tattoo ! Would love to see a follow up video on that ^^

There’s been an update on TikTok from the client of the love conquers all tattoo. She claims that she never cussed at her or anything like that. 😬

As much as I think it’s mostly the client’s “fault” if they approve a misspelled tattoo I do think its very concerning that Sprig has had this issue twice before… and the past mistakes seemed to have been totally on her. I don’t think she should be accepting script tattoos anymore to be honest…

Having “Everything’s fine” misspelled is actually so perfect

📒As a tattoo artist, I've mispelled a few things. I was in spelling bees when I was a kid, and in honors classes all throughout schooling, so it's not a skill issue. The issue is when people give me mispellings or expect me to know the correct spelling of a language I don't speak. I've tattooed the name "Magdlena" on someone because she swore up and down that was her mother's name, but came back a week later wondering if we could change it to Magdalena. I tattooed an Lozengra when it was supposed to be Lozengara (client was drunk, and claimed it was spelled right). I've tattooed the wrong death date for someone's child even though I ALWAYS have people check the paper twice, check the stencil, I read it back to them, I hand them the paper and let them hold it for a moment. I do literally everything in my power to make sure I am not making a mistake, but it's always the clients. Then they try to blame it on me, despite me giving them multiple chances to change the tattoo before it's permanent...

I don't know, I feel there's a pretty big difference in effort between accidentally dropping a letter and not bothering to check if you spelled a word correctly in the first place. Both are bad because this a permanent change to someone's body, and while I understand that these things happen, one 2-second Google search would've made the difference.

As an artist, they should know typos happen, check for typos, and if they find a typo, ask if the client wants to keep it or not

The client posted a video. She said she wasn’t rude and didn’t call her names. The tattoo now looks awful, it’s like a gash you can see the indents in the skin

Not going to lie, as someone who just got their first tattoo with lettering, it took me until this video to realize that I didn't even check to see if the spelling was correct when she tattooed me. Thank God it is spelled correctly but I was so excited for the tattoo my brain didn't think to check the spelling. So while I do think it is both parties' responsibility to make sure words are spelled correctly, I can also understand how a client could miss something like that.

the 2nd person who got the tattoo done posted an update and it looks like it was done sooo deep she literally cut through the skin

🤣🤣🤣Celle! I saw the misspelled name on the tombstone- hilarious! Thanks again for another great vid!

The client posted a picture of the tattoo spriggs did. It looks awful and it’s scarred.

The love conquers all tattoo has an update! I know nothing about tattoos but apparently the tattoo was way too deep

Appreciate your tone and approach. You sound like the sweetest girl. Good content.

i only have a tattoo, a quote from a book, my tattoo artist asked me twice to spellcheck the design especially because it was in english, we are spanish speakers and i guess she's not fluent in english, and since i was so paranoid i asked my friend who came with me to check it too. but the other day i was on instagram and this tattoo artist i follow posted a story with the next text tattoo she was going to do and i immediately realized it was a song title and that it was misspelled, so i quickly dmed her. she didn't know it was a song title, so even though the quote was gramatically correct, it wasn't the actual title of the song, and the client didn't catch it either (this was definitely on the client i think). 📒

The empathy and compassion you have for both customers and artists is really refreshing, Celle. Subbed!

I work in a private studio so we don’t get many walk ins and are responsible for our own schedules so I can’t relate to that stress. But every time I’ve ever done lettering, dates or names I make the client check it at least 5 times. I send the design days before, have them check it when they come to the shop, and again once the stencil is on. I probably annoy them I ask them to check again so many times 🫨 I always stress to them that once I tattoo it, I can’t change the spelling. It’s genuinely one of my biggest fears as a tattoo artist. I like to think myself good at spelling, but the simplest words start to look strange if you look at them too long and I totally get how this could happen.

Thank you for explaining the "backwards tattoo" thing because I was so confused when he said that lol. When I was 18 I got a rosary on my wrist and the cross is right side up when I have my arm up, and I remember another kid at school kept saying it's upside down, it just didn't make sense to me to have the rosary oriented the other way lol 😂

Hi Celle. I recently came across your channel and I'm hooked! 😁 I personally think that it's the artist's duty and responsibility to make sure that a word is spelled correctly before tattooing it. This is for their own benefit and protection, as well as their client's. Just a quick chat with the client about the word or phrase desired, followed by a spell check would clarify things. Also, if the artist notices that a client has spelled a word incorrectly, they should point that out to the client before proceeding. Of course, if the client wants it spelled incorrectly, then that's up to them, but the artist should have that in writing!

I met a guy in a tattoo shop with Sid Viscous tattooed across his throat in the traditional ransom note letters. Amazing

You're almost at 100k!!! congrats giirl

lol my first tattoo i ever got was a ship with the name "ong ong" (a reference to a blur song), my tattoo artist printed the stencil out and placed it on me, but one of the words was missing a letter so i pointed it out. maybe its bc i was a huge fan of tattoo culture before i even got my first tattoo, it was a no brainer to me to throughly look and point out the mistake. luckily she put the missing letter back in with no problem! i think it's the duty of both the artist and the person getting the tattoo to ensure everything is spelt correctly, bc its two sets of eyes monitoring it. like yeah there are ways to cover up or alter a tattoo after the fact, or even in the first case you mentioned have it be hilarious -- but to berate an artist after you waived any responsibility on their part is completely irresponsible on your part :// tattooing is a mutual transaction that should be handled with respect on both ends!

Best way to start the day - with a Celle post

I'm dyslexic and I'm never getting text tattoos because of if this.

Congrats on your 100k subscribers!🎉

Lama in the creator's username clearly comes from their last name 😂😂😂

For me, the difference is in the design process, the first girls brought the sketch in, and you could see how the artist just took that and went with it, thinking of it more as a design than looking at the lettering/spelling, and he as you said, he likely didn't type it out, so it is much more understandable. In the second one, it was impromptu, and the client asked the artist if she could do that, and she said yes, and that is what makes it more on the artist in my opinion. She did the design, and with the line through it, it is a little harder to catch, and I know I would probably be more focused on the placement/font then really looking at the lettering. The client should not have spoken to her like she did, and I don't think it's all the artists fault, but that one for me is more murky.

If it's the artist's design, then it's 100% their fault. If it's the client's design, then that's 100% their fault. Everybody should be aware that mistakes can happen and it should be talked through BEFORE. I also think that everybody should just take 2 minutes to read and not only look at the lines, placement etc

Thats the reason why crosses are interesting to me. When people want them on their arms or hands, they often want them facing towards themselves but anyone seeing the tattos from their perspective will see the cross upside down lol

Celle, I love your videos. I don't have any tattoos, have never thought about getting one, and don't even know much about the process, but I love watching your videos! Your voice is relaxing.

IF you sign paperwork saying that any misspellings are not the artist’s responsibility, then it’s not the artist’s responsibility. That said, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask a client to make sure words/names are spelled correctly (or spelled the way they want it spelled) once the stencil is placed.

I'm sympathetic to these artists (especially seeing how upset they are) & I understand that mistakes happen, especially in the case of a client giving something handwritten, but this is a permanent piece on someone's body; there needs to be responsibly on both client & artist. I also sympathize that tattoo artists have a lot on their plates, but so does everyone else. When I worked with graphic design, yes, it was our job to design, but if that design had text, we had to make sure everything was spelled correctly & sounded cohesive; otherwise, we correct it or bring it to the client's attention to make sure that's how they really wanted it to read. If the client is in a hurry, they need to be slowed down, or you aren't the right artist for them; don't let the client be detrimental to the outcome. In the end, tattoo artists can save themselves a lot of trouble & grief by making sure any instances of typos are confirmed & signed off by the client as correct or fixed. It will also help them be more efficient & professional. Will this prevent all mistakes, no, but it can prevent most.

I like the bob-omb from the first story. Also, the om-nom-nom kitty from 16:47 was totes adorbs.

Love the videos been watch for months now!!!

The second one, the client has responded..

I actually like the typo in "everything is fine" , because it reminds you to stay cool, and be optimistic. also the Y sounds like WHY, so maybe the WHY is missing, a reminder to don't overthink things

Update the second one please! Spriggs really messed up that girls arm... the client posted videos telling her side of the story and it's not at all what the artist said

The client who got the loves conquer all tattoo made a video in response and I think you should watch that video too

Artists are not machines and I’m all for giving people grace. But you cannot convince me that a tattoo artist who is doing word or phrase tattoos is “not paid to spell”. They quite literally are being paid to spell something permanently on a body.

The best advice is to go to the bathroom with stencil away from artist and text a pic of the tattoo out looking for a 3rd unbiased eye to check tattoo. This can help with placement, angle, and spellcheck because someone who isn’t involved in the process will have fresh eyes instead of the expectations that you and the artist have.

Getting Spelling wrong, dates wrong, all kinds of things like that happen more often than one would think..

you're so close to 100k subs. You've come a long way :)

Ok am I the only one that saw the red circle flash on the screen a little after the 6 min mark?? 😳😳

I feel the imperfections of tattoos would make a great video, not taking into account misspellings. I have one that should be symmetrical but just isn't, it's definitely a topic that would be interesting to visit.

Nowadays I still never understand misspelled words. EVERYONE and their mom has a cell phone. How hard is it to pull it out and make sure you spelled it right before putting the stencil on? Not sure how hard this is.

I totally understand how these mistakes can happen. I got a tattoo of a blueberry branch and the blueberries ended up backwards (like with the "crown" part by the stem rather than on the end where theyre supposed to be) I sent my artist reference pics and was so excited for the tattoo and focused on the placement that i didnt notice the detail of the berries. I trusted my tattoo artist to do it correctly because i sent her references, but i also know i should have double checked it was correct myself. I wasnt mad at her but the situation did suck for both of us. She was super nice and apologetic when i noticed and she did her best to cover it up and fix it for free. At the end of the day, this is a risk of getting permanent art on your body. Tattoo artists are human and mistakes are bound to happen. Yes, it is the artists responsibility to be careful and check the designs, but im also sympathetic to these artists who make mistakes sometimes.

The first one is perfect. Inside joke between friends just adds to it. ❤

i can definitely see how mistakes happen like this. i went into a random shop for a walk in when i was 19 to get a song lyric tattoo. the artist had me hand write out the words three times then verify. he had another artist verify the spelling. he got the stencil ready, and i asked for it to be resized. he resized it and asked for verification again and i said "yeah. it's all good except the second word is misspelled." he was horrified. the stencil hadn't even been placed yet but he couldn't believe a spelling mistake got through so many steps.

Came across the channel by accident & enjoyed watching👍

I have a lot of tattoos but only 2 with words. I straight away checked the spelling whilst watching this video lol. I think ultimately it's up to the client to confirm everything is spelled correctly. You are choosing to modify your body for life. Saying that I don't tend to take my tattoos too seriously so the first story was so good and I loved how everyone handled it. I would have got the misspelt version though to match.

Disappointed to see you didn’t see the video of the client in the love conquers all tattoo

The irony of happy tattoos making you unhappy

I am so over “tattoo rules”. Pre-pandemic, I reached out to an artist that had done 3 of my tattoos prior and asked for a whale shark swimming up my thigh. She told me it would have to swim DOWN my thigh and I was like oh okay, well I want it swimming up, that something you can do? She said no, and went on this whole rant about “the proper” way. I had significance in the way they were swimming up my leg so I didn’t want to go with her. She deleted my posts of my tattoos that she had done on her instagram page after this interaction, may just be coincidence but idk.. Then, I still tried to get in with her again about a year later for a rose on my hand (I know, not super original but they are so stunning) and she asked if I had a full sleeve on the arm I wanted it on. I said no, I have it started but still have some gaps to fill in. She said she would never give someone a hand tattoo that didn’t have a full sleeve, it didn’t matter how many were on the arm if it wasn’t fully covered. I have since never reached back out and have found lovely artists that listen to what I want and their work is amazinggg

I love what you said about tattoos not needing to be perfect. I have a lot of apprentice tattoos and I love every single one of them. Even the ones that are blown out or shaky. My local studio has had some really wonderful young women come and go as apprentices over the years (small shop so often they'll move on to something bigger). As an artist and a woman myself I feel totally honoured to be able to give other young women the chance to develop their craft. So I could never care if every line isn't perfect or if the ink doesn't hold in quite the same as some of my other tattoos. I got my thumb tattooed by my local's current apprentice recently and it was her first time doing a hand tattoo. That's invaluable to me. And she killed it btw it looks great. I'll always be happy to take a chance on young artists.

It took me about TWO MINUTES but I absolutely get why she’s LAUGHING like that at “Everthing’s Fine” the Irony has me CRYING 😂😂😂

Probably my favorite tattoo typo story is that someone planned to get a tattoo that said “See You in the Future” after a song by the band Waterparks, but the tattoo artist accidentally added another “in” so that it said “See You in in the Future.” She tweeted Waterparks about it and they changed the song title to “See You in in the Future” on all streaming platforms so that her tattoo would be correct

Maaaan if i was a tattoo artist you couldn't waterboard this messup out of me

the missing l in "earthy lama" is because her last name is "lamattina" so it's a play on words from that!
