More Laws to Protect Victims of Bad INK

After my first born son passed away I got a white tiger butterfly tattooed on my chest to memorialize him.

It was all I could afford at the time and I had to save for three months just to get it. I'm doing much better financially now and recently I went into Artistic Kreations, owned by April Jordan, located at 85 Wahconah Street Pittsfield, MA 01201 to add a more to the original and things went HORRIBLY WRONG!

I asked for something Dark and Beautiful with a Little but of Heaven Peeking Through. Instead My Body was Destroyed and My Memories were Massacured!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!!!

April Jordan owner of Artistic Kreations

Located at 85 Wahconah Street Pittsfield MA 01201

HACKED ME UP!!!

And REFUSES to even Speak to Me about this Horrible Mess.

Once upon a time, when someone commented on my chest tattoo, I always began my story like this:

"This is the tombstone of my first born son because he's not in the ground, he's in a little box in my room. The butterfly is an ancient Chinese symbol that represents a child's departed spirit trying to find his mother, those are my son's real eyes from his graduation photo and he loved white tigers"
I then go on by pointing out that my youngest son wrote his oldest brother's name and birth date and it was a symbolic connection meaning; "From the first to the last, you're always in my heart."

I know everyone has a reason for getting inked and mine was simple, I wanted to remember my son because I have lost everything I have so many times, I wanted something nobody could ever take away.
Sadly, April Jordan owner of Artistic Kreations has managed to do just that.

April Jordan not only destroyed my most precious memories but she refuses to even discuss the issue with me. She has banned me from her shop and told me that if I go there she will, "Throw me out and have me hauled away in handcuffs"

Is this even legal? Can a shop owner refuse to take responsibility for selling a person a defective product? She turned my son's hazel eyes blue! This tattoo no longer represents ANYTHING about My First Born SON.

Is it really ok for April Jordan to make these kinds of threats to a supposedly valued customer?

I have so many questions but I digress.

I would like to see more laws protecting people who have been butchered by bad ink and I'd like it to be more difficult for incompetent artists to get away with destroying another human being's body.

I was balled up on my bed for two days unable to work just from the emotional trauma alone. I can't look at my reflection without wincing and turning away. I still randomly burst into tears and I feel like I'm all alone with this delima.

Aside from all the emotional stuff, what about the physical damage, why does this not count as "Personal Injury" for a lawsuit? It's is going to cost me an excess of 10,000.00 to have this mess removed from my chest. It will leave a permanent scar and eventually I would like to have something tattooed over the scar to hide this tragedy. I don't believe I should have to pay to correct any of the damage April Jordan owner of Artistic Kreations has carved into my skin. I also believe I should be compensated for the emotional damage not only caused to me because of the ruin of my first born son's tombstone but for her horrendous unprofessional behavior as well.
