🖤🖤 I couldn’t believe how awful that man was! Love your work !!! 🖤🖤

You did everything correct darling! I hope that you feel better now and that this tattoo won’t leave a horrible mess and scars (if so I would acctually go to court against these dickheads). Just want to tell you this, as a nurse, to proove how wrong they are: Doctors does absolutley have very good knowledge about how the skin work and healing processes. They all can also very easily tell the difference between infection and allergic reaction. This artist however clearly has no knowledge of any of those things nor about how antibiotics work. They do not pro-long the healing process - if that was the case you would never get strong antibiotics for preventive purposes before certain surgerys. They obviously also doesn't know how much doctors hesitate to prescribe antibiotics because the more antibiotics a person takes, the greater the risk that they become carriers of resistant bacteria - which can lead to the person having another, perhaps more serious - such as a sepsis, infection by these resistant bacteria then cannot be helped with antibiotics or at least is very difficult to help.❤

so sorry this happened to you! you deserved much more respect

​@@zannadunstrand6289I don't think OP was the one with the tattoo that was infected but she shared the messages of the girl who got the tattoo.

Oooooooh 😅🤭 I thought it was her the story was about due to her ”thank you for your kind word” 😅😅 oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️🫣

What do you call Andrew Tate in prison? Incell

"Two barfs" has me weak 💀 lol

Baahaa! I couldn't have said it better. Robert you are a genius!

I’d add “currently on trial for sex trafficking in Romania” to their description personally, but yeah lol

Nah I think it was too nice 😂

🥹🖤🖤

Yet most people in the world have herpes. You can have it without getting any breakouts.

i was wiping down my dresser and whipped my head so fast towards the screen when i heard that.. full attention type of intro

"This video isn't about herpes! It's never been about herpes!" 😂😂

Agreed 😂

😂😂😂 right!!????

As an American, is someone able to explain this joke to me? 🥺

@@RachelBubblesIt’s just a very typical thing for a lot of blokes in Britain to be really red-faced. Either from drinking or from too much sun exposure 😂 there isn’t much else to it, but a lot of guys in their mid 30s+ have the red face and are also usually football fans too

@@ghoultooth that makes a lot of sense actually. I love learning British slang.

My face is so pink I used to hate it but I’m embracing the ‘English rose’ redness 😂

Oh that so awful 😩

@@Robert_Reacts thank you. I’m really passionate about safe tattooing! 💞

Wow that is tragic. I am sorry for your loss and that he had to die so young.

That’s so sad 😢 I know how much tattooing has progressed in the last 30 years but some people still try to take short cuts sadly. There’s nothing more important than health.

Thats so sad omg. And you are 100% right, new needles is the answer. Ive got a few tatts never had an issue always healed beautifully because the artists did the tatts the right way!

😂😂🖤

Really tells you all you need to know about that dude!

When I got my first tattoo I had a reaction to the second skin and it was nowhere near what hers looked like 💀 allergies don’t make your shit infected

@@ambersmith2612 agreed. I'm a bit older than u I think. And it used to just be saran wrap none of this 2nd skin crap. My artist gives me the option, on which I want. But, I agree 1000000% it's not due to an allergy!

I have a few tats. Not many. That is infected and reminds me of tats people get from somebodies home tattoo. It’s infected. But, it is entirely possible that she didn’t properly care for it. I’ve sort of watched this drama on tick toc as it unfolded. Since there is two that came in on the same day both infected, I’m going to go with dirty shop. My daughter is allergic to certain brands of second skin. She never has a reaction within the tattoo. It’s always around it. I got my tattoos well before second skin came into play with tattoo healing. The owner of this shop needs to just admit that his shop is dirty and his artists aren’t working clean.

@@elizabetherne556 1000% agree!

@@ambersmith2612 no but dirty shops do.

Your artist is a treasure! 👌

@@bellewhite3764 he really is the nicest guy, just wanted to put it out there that not all tattoo artists are like this prick. I’d hate for this to put off people from being tattooed if that’s what they want 🙂

​@@RuthDeane you're a treasure, too, for that! 👌🖤

I suspect poor emotional control and some drug abuse might be at play.

He also said that doctors don’t know anything about how skin heals. Doctors don’t know what now?? Excuse me? Just like lab workers with health degrees don’t know an infection I guess, maybe they all went to the same school.

Plus, you're and adult and it's your body! We know when there's something wrong with our own bodies and most adults are able to diagnose a simple infection. That would have made me so angy!

It was all wrong right!??

@@Robert_Reacts, it was terrible. I do not have dyslexia, but still found it nearly impossible to get through. Incels are apparently allergic to punctuation and grammar.

And I just screamed at 'scrumt'! Brilliant! 😂😂

It's not an allergic reaction and that's evident from the concentration of inflammation and purulence SOLELY where the skin was penetrated with the needle with no telltale hives/rash on the entire area of skin. Not that anyone with any sense confuses a crusty, oozing infection with an allergic reaction but unless she applied the saniderm precisely only to the tattoo rather than over the entire patch of skin, it doesn't make sense even if there weren't obvious signs of infection... But I'm sure we can trust the diagnosis of a grown man who still calls people the r-word, and can't even manage to spell it correctly 💀

@@LunarEleven not to mention the fact he doesn't use punctuation, can't spell or comments on someone's appearance. What a piece of trash!

😂😂😂… where was it though…

I love tattoos. My skin develops keloid scar tissue so badly so I’ve never gotten any. But this is scary!!!!

Love how they blame the doctors as well... for an infected tattoo, yes, you should get an antibiotic and a strong one at that. Omg

@@kszoknyikIt depends on what kind of infection it is, if it’s a deep-tissue infection then 100% otherwise they’ll usually give you an antibiotic ointment.

@@kszoknyik I don't think that tattoo was actually infected (I used to be a tattoo artist) I think what happened is the client either got bad aftercare instructions or was having a reaction to the ink + colored tattoos tend to look super gross when healing because of the pigment & the blood/enzymes all mixing together and can be mistaken as an infection especially if the persons skin is rejecting the ink. Antibiotics can slow the healing process on a tattoo because it doesn't work the same as say a cut due to the ink being a foreign object in the body. The artist was correct in everything she said. The owner on the other hand is (in my opinion) where everything went wrong. If he wasn't so awful I think this could have been handled very easily and calmly but unfortunately he seems like a terrible human and caused a lack of trust in the client which is where the real problem happened. Tattooing is all about trust and vulnerability so him saying what he did no one can blame the client for not listening to anyone else at the shop even though the artist was saying all true things. Even the Neosporin part, you really should never put that on a healing tattoo even if infected bc it will make It worse. The best thing to do is keep it clean by washing with gentle soap, my favorite is orange dial and keep it dry but not like super dry so the infection can heal up. If this tattoo was infected it would have been red/swollen/hot to the touch and it didn't look red at all just like the skin was rejecting the ink which isn't uncommon especially with pigments containing red and yellow. red/yellow are the most common pigments people reject and or are allergic to. The tattoo really didn't look that bad...obviously it didn't look good either but it was nothing to be super concerned about which is why the owner really f**ked up by reacting the way he did. I'm sure if he had a calm conversation with the client about the healing process on color tattoos and what rejected ink looks like it would have been fine. In my opinion I don't blame the client or the artist and fully blame the owner.

@@schuii6195, I believe the second photo we saw was taken after the infection had started to clear, so that's why it doesn't look so bad. It was taken at a point when the situation wasn't at its worst. Justine, the former nurse/tattoo artist whom Robert cites in this video, says as much in her coverage on Twitter. (To be clear, Justine was not involved in the incident.)

me too i just went silent like 👀😂

I loved that he used the "r" word (and apparently not autocorrect) pretty early on, that's always such a reliable indication that everything else he says is fking stupid. If only every disgusting creep waved their red flags so confidently.

100% agree about tattoo artists, I hope nobody lets this guy scare them away from getting ink because he is not a representative of the majority. DO let it be a lesson to vet any person who will be permanently modifying your body in any way! No shade to victims of people like him, but that's the only message anyone should take away.

And the thin is… I can’t even use grammar correctly and even I know it’s meant to be there!

I have scaled way back on my tendency to correct grammar because I know it comes off as offensive and elitist, but when the individual is this repulsive, I don't feel bad at all. I have a feeling that reading through his Facebook posts would put me in into a coma.

​@@claritybadbSame! I only correct people if they spell things wrong or use poor grammar while also making fun of someone else or leaving a generally hateful comment.

Punctuation Paul! 😂😂😂

Balding incel with a terrible jawline AND a pencil neck. 😂

I would worry about anyone who wasn't disgusted by him, it goes so far beyond unprofessional, no man his age should be talking like that to anyone. He is close to my age and literally sounds like every angry millennial teenage boy ever, it's disconcerting to read that in 2024. Peaked in high school and he's still there, I suspect the awful tattoos are the only thing he's added to his existence since then and I can't say it's an improvement.

As a pro, do you think anything can be about that poor decision he got inked on the side of his head? The way the bottle is drawn makes it look like plastic and the water flowing out resembles poorly drawn anime hair... If I saw that when I walked into a tattoo studio I would spin 180° on my heel and keep walking. But I have designed cover-up tattoos for friends with bad jail ink and that looks like a fun challenge for a more talented artist. At what point do you tell someone it's hopeless??

@@LunarEleven some of my artists specialise in coverups, obviously sometimes the client may need to Lazer the ink abit first especially if it's very big and colourful. I don't think we've ever told anyone we can't do their tattoo, the whole point is that you work together with your artist to bring your idea to life, they'll draw it up as many times until you're satisfied then tattoo it. The problem is people don't research first, I always tell people visit a few studios first, make sure they're clean and the equipment is sterile. Ask to see portfolios. In my studios we try to match you with the artist, if you want black and grey you'll get my best black and grey artist, same for colour, portrait etc.

I can say it so clearly in my mind .. then I go to say it and it just doesn’t come out my mouth 😂

@Robert_Reacts 😂😂 You did great! Being from Texas I can say y'all, but not mirror or horror. 😂😂

@@melissaselenebeautyhorror always comes out…. Not horror if you know what I mean 😂💀

@@Robert_Reactsyeah, when I was a child I had a lot of trouble with that word, but I eventually got it with speech lessons

@@Robert_Reacts I learned that Y'all is just short for you all, so I just say it that way. But it actually really changes the tone of the sentence 😂

Ah well, the latter half will get the tattoos they deserve. (Shittyyyyy.)

Andrew TAINT omg 💀

Same!! A lot of people (including tattoo artists) are commenting how getting an infection is "not acceptable" - when it's actually quite common (because usually they are simple bacterial infections that can happen from an allergy reaction or excessive heat, especially if you live in a warm country, and can be easily healed with a course of topical and oral antibiotics), when two of my coloured tattoos have been infected and the second time I realized that this only happens to me when I do large coloured tattoos (FYI, I have a total of 37 tattoos, both black and coloured). Regardless, my tattoo artist always checked up on me (both times), every single day, helped me to properly care for it... and that was it!! I felt a lot less anxious and both my tattoos healed amazingly. It doesn't take money to be nice and empathetic ❤

😂😂😂… you now when people just need some good sassin’

@@Robert_Reacts this individual needs a lot of sassing

Ohhhh really!!?

@@Robert_Reacts We have rather a "Don't go there list" that covers tat artists all over the world. The street people in China that look the grungy ickyiest do the best safest work, in general.

@@THEMamaVickyI’m fairly inked myself and had no idea about this 😅 I suppose it’s a good idea though!

@@ghoultooth maybe it's a (mostly) female thing? I think we tend to have unbroadcast lists of things and people to stay away from, these days.

​@@THEMamaVickyMakes sense! I feel like when there's a male dominated industry that has male dominated artists and customers, it absolutely makes sense for women to have a list for eachother to stay away from. Especially when those male artists or shop owners are Tate muppets 🤢

I'm glad that it turned out good in the end. It is scary when something goes wrong

Bulbasaur!!!

@@quester09 Always 💚🍃🫶.!

Obviously! 😂

That makes sense right? You would want to be responsible for your work!

absolutely!

@@Robert_Reacts Exactly!

She probably still can...especially if that infection gets worse

With that type of infection and proof with sources and reaching out to him, then blaming the customer? she absolutely can get him shut down

I left. That's how I dealt with him. Lol.

@@heathersamms8873 🙌🙌🙌 Good for you girl!

@@heathersamms8873, good for you. I am glad you no longer have to work for him.

I mean, ive had an allergic reaction to ink (all my tattoos are blackwork) and the skin around the lines literally split open and was so incredibly sore... the ink did reject once the splitting healed but its not as simple as your skin just spitting out the ink and scabbing over...

😂

that was so funny

That’s what I was thinking.

That 'better yourself' read took. Me. Out. 💀

DO ITTTTT!!!!! 🥸

Oooo that's a good idea. Now I wanna do that!

Or one that say, "Grammar, Paul!"

They’re not the same person?

The poetic reading of the screenshot messages was sending me 😂😂😂

🥸🥸🥸

😂

I used to be a tattoo artist and an infected tattoo will be red and swollen/hot to the touch. That tattoo wasn't red at all. I think her skin was just rejecting the ink which isn't uncommon with pigments containing red/yellow (the pink will have red in it). Do I think the owner handled it well at all?? ABSOLUTELY NOT. but I also don't think it was infected.

😛🖤🖤

Ooooh. Get well soon 😊

Ugh I’m sorry I know the feeling! 😩 hope you feel better soon!
