Thanks everyone for your responses.....

I would absolutely stay away from this person, but I am right in the middle of a tattoo, and I can't change artists to finish it. It is a very specific style. I do not go to Adrian, but another artist. Un fortuately, Adrian works all the same hours my current artist does. As far as I know, my tattoo only has one or two more sittings to go. After that, I was planning on having a piece I already have fixed, as I have never been happy with it. My current artist has already been working on sketches, and I wouldn't feel right about going somewhere else, especially since I have such a great rapport with him. I guess all I can do is focus on my husband as much as possible. The thing is, after seeing what a self-absorbed jerk Adrian is, I KNOW I'd never be happy with him.....I guess I just hate being hated, and I am probably more obsessed with fixing the friendship more than anything. But, if the friendship was fixed, the crush would return....ugh. i despise my weakness in this situation.
