Thanks so much for your replies :D
Yes, it was exactly that and after I found her a photo of something similar she was a lot more sure of it!
I actually had a very funny chat with a tattooist, apparently they have the same issues! She said what she finds helpful is to ask their budget right at the beginning thus saving this back and forth and of course the “oh my god how much…?”from the customer and then the whole idea having to then be simplified etc… She also mentioned that whilst she wants people to obviously be happy with their tattoo, she assumes they have come to her because they like her particular style and so feels comfortable leading the ideas discussion…
Next tricky customer I get I’m gonna try for being clearer and more comfortable with taking the lead…. yes. I. am! :D
Anyhoo… thanks for the advice guys :D xx
Keep Calm and Get Your Bake On!
