state of pennsylvania doesn’t require a license to tattoo and some of the best work i’ve had done was by people without apprenticeships (blood borne pathogens test is required though). plus apprenticeships often result in an artist getting complete advantage taken of them, honestly more often than not. i think you can get knowledge about tattooing and in person experiences with other artists that aren’t full apprenticeships and still be okay if you do enough research. i’ve been more comfortable at in-home studios with said artists than in the full tattoo studios with the ones who are certified (and some of the tattoos by the ones without certification are even better). but this is also pennsylvania specific.

I've heard quite alot of negative things about Daisy too. One being that she started from PMU and transitioned into smaller body tattoos without going through with an apprenticeship also while being unlicensed for awhile.

So as far as I know, Daisy has had a tattooist license until awhile AFTER she started doing body tattooing from PMU. Lovesick also has no senior artists and from what I've seen from my experience there, Daisy kind of just lets the artists do whatever tf they want despite most of them being apprentices or very new artists. Also Daisy has allowed a certain artist who I wont name to guest in her shop who has been fired from MULTIPLE tattoo shops around Brisbane for a multitude of reasons, one of those being stealing supplies and openly making fun of others artists transgender client in the shop. It doesn't surprise me that she surrounds herself with shitty people and people should 100% stay the absolute fuck away from her and her shop.

i've followed daisy when she would regularly post on her youtube channel and generally liked her story times and such. you could tell that she was not the easiest person to get along with even then, and that she probably embellished her stories to fit a certain narrative. nonetheless, i liked all of it, it made for good entertainment. then she disappeared from youtube and i would check on the instagram from time to time, see what she was doing, how she got on, etc. when i saw that she started her own studio (i think it had a different name at the beginning and was mostly cosmetic tattooing) i was like eeeeeeeeeeeh ... because you could tell, she didn't do the greatest of work. and mind you, if what's shown online is not the greatest (which supposedly you would only show your best work), god knows how many people walked away with horrendous permanent lipliners/eyebrows/freckles whatever. it doesn't surprise me at all that there would be some problems.

Can I just say I find it really classy and cool of you to ask for permission to make this video. Not a very common practice on KZread, and it really makes me happy to see, thank you for your thoughtfulness!!!

Having been an admin in many groups over the years i absolutely want to stress that strict, consistent rule enforcement is everything. It's better to have a smaller but well run group than a large wild west one. Also big kudos for not allowing AI art theft in there.

wow i had no idea it was DAISY LOLA you were talking about until you showed her 2014 tweets. the way that i cackled - i hadn’t seen her name in probably 8 years but she rly has been acting like an absolute insufferable idiot on the internet for so long. not surprised she’s still being a delusional mean girl but i am surprised to hear she’s trying to pass herself off as an artist!! the fact that sammy was charging any money at all, let alone thousands, for some scratcher in their mom’s garage level tattooing is absolutely wild. someone take their machines away and give them some crayons

I remember that video too, if I recall correctly the issue was that she had asked for a bearded mermaid with different colors and the tattoo she got was different. But. Didn't she see the drawing before? Or the stencil on her actual body? Or the ink pots? If the artist didn't want to tattoo what she asked for, why didn't they communicate it or refuse to do it? Maybe it's that I have younger artists who are trained in a more "modern" way, but I find this whole story weird.

Oh wow, didn't realize who this was. I used to watch Daisy's videos a lot when she did videos about tattoos and being a stripper, I was also in her Facebook group back in the days. I stopped watching and left the group in 2018 because it was starting to be so toxic and she definitely gathered toxic yesmen around her and started having takes that just made me very uncomfortable.

I agree, I used to follow her but I kept getting the feeling from the way she interacted with people that she thought she was better than other people and chose to view everyone in a negative light and always assume the worst out of everyone who commented.

Man I remember watching Daisy years ago and thinking she was mean, but I was in my mean girl era too so I was like “oh this is fine! hehe she’s so right everyone else is stupid” but as I’ve aged I’ve been like wow. People like Daisy deserve some form of comeuppance.

I'm just going to say it, Daisy is not a nice person. I used to watch some of her videos. Over time I'd see her responses to her subscribers comments and sometimes they were quite rude. The way she treated her audience really rubbed me the wrong way. If this is how she treated the people that supported her how did she treat everyone else? She puts herself up on a pedestal like she's better than everyone else. When I recently saw that she was tattooing i was so confused. Because I remember her very clearly saying she could never be a tattoo artist because she can't draw and doesn't have an artistic bone in her body. It makes me wonder, is Andrew drawing everything up and she's just tracing the lines? I also remember her being quite snarky and rude towards you Lauren. She used to do a series where she would judge her subscribers tattoos. She was ruthless. She held nothing back. Well around that time you started your series of reacting to and sharing your subscribers tattoos. And i remember her making some comments that you stole her concept. Frankly the only thing they had in common was the fact that subscribers shared their tattoos. Overall they felt very different. Yours was a safe space where we could all come together and share our love for the art form. Daisy's was all about whether she liked your tattoo or not. And if she didn't she had no problem telling you exactly how she felt. I'm glad you were finally able to share your experience. You're certainly not the first or sadly, the last.

The owners should have never opened a studio piggybacking off their social media “fame”. It’s sad that they don’t have respect for peoples skin and the tattoo industry/doing apprenticeships let alone supporting their staff. This is a classic situation where if the artist had more support and experienced artists around her this never would have happened. The blame should be directly on the owners behaviour. 😢

I paused at 27:12 to read the exchange about that horrendous snake tattoo and omg.... The way she was patronizing the client while also CLEARLY being so wrong about the reality of the tattoo had me cackling. Who the hell is she trying to convince that the tattoo isn't a laughable mess, the client or herself? She's either completely delusional or she's manipulative/disrespectful AF. Absolutely unhinged behavior

The line work is genuinely awful. My first tattoo is 99% line work and only one area has color filling it in. There is a small messy area, but that's on me because I flinched unexpectedly, and it caused a little bit of messiness in the lines. Otherwise, it's a great tattoo. Linework should be able to stand alone. I hop Christina can get her tattoo fixed or Lazer removed.

I don't have a single wobble on my mostly-linework sleeve that's all STRAIGHT lines of hexagons and triangles. Even on my inner arm, where it hurt really bad and I was trembling from the pain, flawless and straight lines with perfect thickness consistency. Studied, experienced artists can do some incredible work when they care about their craft! Linework isn't a "sketch layer," it can and should stand alone, just like you said.

Anecdotal personal experience or whatever, but I’m soon done with my snake sleeve, And I went to a tattoo artist that charges a premium and does work slower than some other artists, But I also got some of the cleanest lines I’ve seen. And I still question myself sometimes if the price isn’t too high for the time my tattoo artist take and the amount of work that gets done, So I really feel for this gal because I would’ve been crushed if I spent a premium on my tattoo and received the result she got

Lauren, it would be wonderful if maybe once a month, whatever works best for you, you could pick an artist somewhere to highlight as really talented, kind and reputable, in the UK, US, Canada or Australia. It would be nice to cover someone positive sometimes. Lol. 😊❤

Thanks for covering this. My bestie had a tattoo by Andrew and let me know that this was going on, which was lucky because I was considering them as a studio. Good to see so many Brisbane girls in the chat ❤

BRO okay holy shit- the quality of the tattoo in question is equivalent to a tattoo i was given by a friend who was still apprenticing, for $200😭 its shitty but i knew what i was getting into and i love it for what it is. The amount she paid for that is actually horrifying i would sob for weeks. As someone who has never once been able to set aside that kind of money for a tattoo,, i cannot imagine the genuine devastation.

This is reminding me of when I got my planet tattoo, most of the ink disappeared and when I told the artist she said it was my fault that I messed up the aftercare even tho I do the same aftercare with all my tattoos and have never had this problem before she then went over the tattoo again and the same thing happened the ink just fell out I then went to a different tattoo artist who re did the whole tattoo and had no problems with it. I understand sometimes things happen but the way she blamed me was really upsetting.

My dad started learning to tattoo on his own at home (guys he's almost 50 with too much time on his hands lol don't come for him) and he's done 2 "real" tattoos on my mother and they look better than this.... Yikes.

"a very slow day in self-absorbed land" HAHA you're hilarious, found your channel recently and am so in love with it!

Thank you for this video. Daisy and Andrew have honestly been terrors for a long time…I’m glad it’s at least not in the dark anymore.

I'm really grateful you brought up your personal experience because it feels very genuine and sincere to preface a commentary-critique with, like, your own frame of bias, you know? It lets those of us watching understand that you hold a certain perspective based on past experience, so that we can--well, observe your journalism more objectively, if that makes sense? Anyway, that just felt so responsible of you and I wanted to pay my respects to that decision, haha 🌺🌺

"unfinished tattoos will always look unfinished" like yeah, but they won't look shit 😂 she is talking down to this girl after wrecking her arm for life.

I’m a tattooer in the US and I would be absolutely mortified if any of my clients came to me and said they were unhappy with my work. I take extreme pride in my tattoos, and I work really hard to make sure that I am giving the client what they want while also applying my knowledge as a tattooer to give them the best possible outcome. It really is a collaboration between the artist and the client, and it makes me so sad to see tattoo artists that genuinely don’t care about their clients’ opinions. Coverups can very much be a trust the process kind of project, but this lack of technique is inexcusable. If you can’t pull a clean line, you can’t do a coverup, and you most certainly shouldn’t be tattooing. I could understand if it was one or two little spots because mistakes happen, we are human, and usually things like that are easily corrected during the next session. I hate that she had this experience, but I hope she’s doing much better now.

I had a similar experience with a tattoo artist here in U.K. The woman who tattooed me made so many mistakes on two tattoos that she did in the same time frame - one on each arm. On the half sleeve piece she did a background dotwork pattern of the flower of life, it goes around my arm and that was extremely badly done was completely mismatched and the dotwork was terrible- she also did line work around the dotwork pattern for some reason. When I raised my concerns, the artist didn’t apologise at all and said that I didn’t give clear enough instructions and that it seemed that I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted. All this happened just before the pandemic and she said that her colleague at the studio would contact me after lockdown and he would fix anything. I of course didn’t hear back from them and the whole experience was horrible - this is a very short version of the whole story. Anyways I’m now in the process of going over the tattoo, done by a different studio and artist, to fix some the fixable mistakes and had to spend more to do this obviously. All the artists that looked at the original tattoo, all couldn’t believe how badly done it was. The artist I’m working with now is an apprentice and is a 100x better artist than the original artist was even tho she had 10yrs experience at the time. The original artist is actually from Brisbane too but was working in a studio in Milton Keynes at the time I got my tattoo.

All the way back in 2018 Daisy was trying to control the narrative around her… I would be shocked if this victim was the first. She reads as a two-faced individual that is enabled by her romantic/business partner 🥴

Looking up neotraditional snake tatoos...the lines do tend to be a pretty important part of the tattoo...as a person with no tattoo experience yes the linework being clean is majorly important

Now it isn’t just a terrible tattoo on her arm-it’s a continual, painful reminder of the ill-treatment she suffered. And the road to fixing it will be arduous. I feel so badly for her!

i can not imagine in this economy not only spending that much money but also regretting even spending that amount? i just paid 4,000 USD for my half sleeve and it was rough ngl but i NEVER have looked at my arm and regretted the decision and the price i paid for it. poor girl now went through the pain thru the tattoo, the financial pain, and now emmotional pain along with future trust issues with artists

As a tattoo artist if you dont have the skill to do a tattoo you will lose out on far more work ATTEMPTING to do the tattoo than passing it up. People will avoid your shop for a long while if you put out trash work. If you practice, get better, and gain skill over time, you will get many more clients. If you have the stain of trash tattoos hanging over you, regaining trust is far harder when you do have the skill set. I hope that made sense, im very sleep deprived haha.

For every 1 good tattoo artist, there are 100 bad ones like this one, unfortunately. Extremely unbalanced, unregulated profession. The health board should have more input. There should be ACTUAL classes, like in a trade school. Apprenticeship is a joke, and it's just an excuse for (most) tattoo artists to just use the "apprentice" as a slave more or less. If I have to take a 1200 hour course to be able to give someone a HAIR CUT WHICH IS TEMPORARY, there needs to be regulations on Tattoo Artists. It's not fair that you can permanently scar someone up with no real training.
