Would this be a jerk move? (Tattoo related)?

for my tattoos i have just called in a few hours ahead of time and asked when they had an opening for that day n they let me come in. (but the place i got to is open from 2pm till whenever they feel like leaving idk what yours is like)

I don't think that's dickish, you're kind of put in a difficult spot with it anyhow.

I'd call though, that seems more personal. Just call and explain that you'd like to have gone in but you just don't have the time, and ask them who is available to do it

No thats fine, I would give them a ring though.

Just say you had an appointment with 'insert guys name' but he has to be out of town, but you wont be able to get any time off work on a dif day so is anyone else free to do it then

Don't email. It's not a dick move really, but a lot of the time people don't check their email all that regularly. It's likely that they'd miss it. Instead, just call the shop.

i dont think so - i email my tattoist all the time with pics etc

You could email then call the following day maybe or call first and then email

nah its fine. ur talkin next wednesday right? june 8 i think? nah you be fine man but they might not be available so you probably have to reshedule. :\
