Did it hurt? When your tattoo artist didn’t post a picture of your tattoo on their Instagram?

For everyone wondering how this ended:
After the SpongeBob screenshot he said “SpongeBob is for Willies” and that he thought he should book with someone else. I never tattooed him and I guess I’ll never know what body part he wanted to get tattooed

Hi! You don’t need to lose weight to get tattooed! It is not easier to tattoo thin people! In fact it’s *harder* to tattoo loose skin (such as after weight loss)! Tattoos don’t have to be something you earn only if you lose a certain amount of weight

Big tattooers openly refusing to tattoo dark skin because it “doesn’t work with their style” is disgraceful and shouldn’t be supported in this community. You’re making the choice to not tattoo/change your style for darker skin. 🙃

This is a cross stitch piece that’s 2.5 years healed. 💕 I’d been hesitant to post a healed pic before now (aside from the one I did on myself) bc posting “healed” pics that are only a few months old is misleading. I get asked a lot about these, so here it is, 2.5 years later ✨

Someone filled out a form for a creature from the black lagoon tattoo and I asked if they wanted him scary or sexy (or both) and they said “why the hell would I want it sexy” 😭☠️ Like my B I guess we’re just two very different creature lovers

Today my client was checking out and asked me how much money I pay to the shop, so I said 40% and then she tipped me 40% of the total so I would get 100% of what I charged 😭

This is incredibly fucked up?? I can’t believe a tattoo artist would willingly put this on someone’s body or that someone would get this. I hate that a case that involves real people’s lives and trauma has become a joke and a big meme to everyone. What is wrong with some of you??

Earlier I was talking to my gf about how I recently experienced the worst pain I had ever been in and I said “it was an 8/10” and she was like “wtf it sounds like a 10” and I was like “I have to save my 10 for something really bad like if my arm got sawed off or something”

I’ll never forget when I was tattooing one of my clients and they were silent the entire time and suddenly went “this isn’t so bad now that I’m into bdsm” and then went back to silence.
I was like good for you Buddy I’m glad those were the only 9 words you spoke to me today

I sat all day Saturday at the Philly tattoo convention for this big thigh piece & scar cover up 🥲💐 (artist is Andrey Vasilyev / @ andreytattooing on insta) He also said I sat like a rock for this and I’ll be riding that high for the rest of the year tbh

Y’all if your tattooer asks you to get undressed for a tattoo where you could easily just lift up your shirt, pant leg, etc, you should run.
Even back pieces I have clients wear a button down backwards. Sternum have them wear a loose top, or a bralette that can be easily moved

Rlly annoyed at getting hate comments about the “wonky lines” on my tattoo which is covering extensive self harm scars and stretch marks 🙃 not all of us have flawless airbrushed skin & when your skin swells those scars are exacerbated

That being said all the POC in my comments talking about how their tattooers only post white people are 100% valid in being upset and y’all deserve artists who will post a variety of skin tones and will take care of your skin & you

Do the folks calling tattooers “greedy” for charging more than like one single crumpled dollar for a tattoo realize that most of us don’t get compensated for drawing time? Or for emailing? Or for being a photographer or for being our own social media manager? Lmao

“Let me know if you need to take a break at all!”
“Don’t be shy if you want to move the stencil around, now’s the time to!”
“It’s okay to listen to your body and tap out of your tattoo if you have to!”
“We’re in this together!”

I’ll never forget when I tattooed for 24 straight hours for a Friday the 13th once and after my shop percentage (I got 40% and my shop got 60% at the time) was taken out of it, I had made maybe 500 bucks. Each tattoo was $31 which means I got about $12.4 for each tattoo I did. 🙃

Recently when clients are getting lettering tattooed I started having them sign/initial the stencil because it’s 1. proof that they DID approve the stencil, however it was spelled and 2. It helps them to slow down and actually read the writing! Sometimes -

I regularly turn down Ted Bundy / true crime tattoos in this fashion. It’s extremely inappropriate and I wouldn’t be proud to be the artist who did any of these.

I debated posting this publicly tbh but, I deserve to at least be a step closer to body neutrality.
And tbh being fat & sharing vulnerable photos of your body in a fatphobic society is a radical act of self appreciation and I deserve that, too. ✨
