@themindfultattooist: Tattooing is every bit as much about art as it is about...customer service! (Louder for those in the back.) If a #tattooartist ever says things, I would take your money elsewhere. There is no lack of talented tattoo artists out there! Find one who will treat you well. #rosesandrivets805
I had a potential artist say “I guess I can try doing that.” Nope!

I had an idea for a tattoo just inside my hip bone/pelvis area. My tattoo artist talked to me about how that area can stretch with pregnancy and is unlikely to go back to the way it was originally. I was thankful for that information.

My artist told me one of my ideas was dumb but he did it in a nice way and it turned out he was right. What I ended up getting was sooooo much better. If he had just outright said it was dumb I would have been miffed

I understand the impact of AI on art. What I don’t understand is why it can’t be translated into a tattoo. Can you give some examples on why AI can’t be made into tattoos? Thanks! Love your content.

My boyfriend went to get a tattoo one time of a traditional style dove and he wanted the face to be facing forward, the tattoo artist simply didn’t want to do it facing forward he wanted to do the face looking to the side, there was no technical reasons or anything. My boyfriend asked for him to change the design to make it face forward and he said he would then he was saying that it looked stupid like that and refused to do it like that so we left.

My artist told me while he was almost done that he was dreading doing my tattoo because he hates doing birth flowers, but that it came out "sick." Not going back.

Walked out of a shop when the artist dramatically rolled his eyes at my idea. Don’t need that negative energy—no thanks!

Can you provide links for your outfit? do you have an amazon storefront? How does one become as cool and hip as you? You must never work because you love your job so much!

Do you have any tips about how to be aware of a client’s pain? Or how do you know if they are going to pass out and need a break? I’m a relatively new apprentice and I am super worried about the social aspects of tattooing.

Before I started getting lots of tattoos I thought of tattoos like a painting. I learned that not everything can be a good tattoo bc of how tattoos are created. It was informative and helpful when discussing potential ideas with an artist.

even if an artist thinks it's dumb, they could say "for longevity/fine line/clarity, i think this style design should be done like this, lmk what you think" and then you can work with the artist to create a design that works and will look good

What do you do for people who think they might be allergic to adhesives? Are they just not able to get one because of the need for a second skin?

Last year I got a tattoo of my favorite Pokémon Gengar and the tattoo artist printed a stencil off of an image on Google. Should I have told them I wanted an original artwork done by them by them?
