The #1 TattooTip

Today were going to talk about the number one tip to getting a great tattoo done. Be sober. This is worth repeating, be sober.
It’s not because you bleed more, you do. And granted, it’s not the greatest idea to take aspirin before getting a tattoo, to help with the pain, but it’s not the end of the world if you do, and besides, there are others who are prescribed blood thinners and they’re not restricted from getting a tattoo done. The fact is, each of us bleeds at different rates, and this is nothing more than a nuisance to the artist.
It’s not because you might pick out a stupid design. Stupid is relative. What seems stupid to one, makes sense to another, although, it can be a helpful indicator for the rest of us to determine whether or not you are in fact, stupid, and steer clear of you, because even though stupid is relative, there is a universal standard. Thanks for the heads up.
The reason you don’t shouldn't be getting a tattoo done when your drunk is because… you won’t shut up, or sit still, or quit having to go on bathroom breaks, or answering your cell. Look, drunks are very annoying and sometimes smell and what should have taken an hour takes three, and time is money.
Try getting a hair cut while you’re twitching and turning, jabbering on your cell phone, or even worse, expressively jabbering to the person cutting your hair. No one wants to hear about you miserable life or your cheating partner. Yes, misery loves company, but this is not the time, save that one for your friends or a shrink.
Your tattoo artist is being paid to do a job, not consul you. You try drawing a picture on a moving canvas, and then have to hear someone whine about the outcome and question you’re skills. Yes, it is the responsibility of the tattooist to determine if you’re intoxicated, and have you sign a waiver stating that you are not, but sometimes those six shots of jagermeister you slammed to take the edge off, take awhile to kick in. And finally, remember, a bad haircut grows back. For more tips on feminine tattoo design go to Angel Heart Tattoo.
