JOHN, B. John customers. John to tattoo clients. A recent client, Nathan Swetlikoff, met the artist five years ago when he was a guest artist at a local studio in Fort St. Earlier this year, Swetlikoff travelled to Grande Prairie with his girlfriend, where they booked a hotel, and later had Selvidge start the tattoo. Swetlikoff says he agreed to send him an e-transfer right away since he had a history with him and Selvidge had already started on the new tattoo.
That night, when the couple was back at their hotel room, Selvidge messaged him and asked for another hundred dollars. Selvidge then started to tell him that he would pack up all of his stuff and come all the way to Fort St.
John to finish his tattoo. Swetlikoff has offered to take down the post and write an announcement redeeming the artist if he is given his money back. They explain that he was very charismatic and nice but knew precisely what he was doing to people, including taking a lot of money from her and another colleague. He would also regularly only put work in on half of a tattoo, then take the money and stop responding to the client. The colleague claims Selvidge opened his own shop under suspicious circumstances, renting a residential unit that he turned into a studio.
They are unsure if Selvidge had permission from the landlord to do so. As time went on, it became even less professional, and they say it took about six months for the two to decide that they needed to stop, and in response, he publicly slammed them on Facebook. Initially, she had heard about Mason through a local tattoo studio as well. Luckily, this client took meticulous notes to keep track of what she went through. The Fort St. On the day of her first appointment, November 23rd, she says that one of the apprentices was just starting to tattoo someone else, and by the time Mason started her tattoo, the apprentice had fully finished with her client.
She says she arrived at the home studio at 10 a. She says that Selvidge only tattooed her for a short period, approximately two hours, before saying he was starting not to feel well and wanted to stop.
