The only time I’ve ever brought more than one person with me to get tattooed is when both of my parents came because they were paying for it as a birthday present and they completely surprised me by taking me to the artist I wanted to get the tattoo that I wanted

Common sense truly has become a superpower

My artist knows I have Narcolepsy so if I start to fall asleep she looks out for me and stops cuz I can jerk when I wake up. She books me for longer just in case I have a sleep attack. But I’m only charged for the time of tattooing. She’s so caring and gives me epic tattoos with a great experience.

The sleep thing is no joke…I went straight to a session after a night shift was the worst tattoo experience I have ever had

I often hear artists begging that clients only bring one person. It’s surprising that rolling up with your entire posse like your on your death bed is such a common problem

"Make sure you shower and use deodorant" 😅 people really show up to get their tattoo, smelling bad? Thats a shame.

I always have trouble with the eating thing… I get so nervous before tattoos that I feel sick and don’t want to eat but then in the middle of it I feel starving! I usually bring snacks with me so I don’t end up passing out but it would be so much better if my stupid anxiety would just go away so I could eat beforehand!

I like being sleepy before a tattoo session . I can sleep through the painful parts

Def coming back to this in a year! I plan on getting my first tat freshly 18, so I wanna take the time to be a good client and generally just not be stupid, so this helps a lot!

Very professional lady. Prompt and to the point. 😊

I remember the night I was supposed to meet my artists late because of my work schedule. I got there early, sat a while, it was freezing out and my car had no heat. I left him a note "At the bar, come get me." it was two doors up. I had enough time for 3-4 drinks when he showed up. We go back to the shop and this being the 80s and not having KZfaq videos to teach us right and wrong he's bitching at me for drinking. He starts working, I start bleeding. . . these two teens, maybe 18? come to the door and ask if they can look around my artist says 'sure' then they come to the ledge between the booth and hallway and ask what he's working on. Dude spins me around and there's blood everywhere. The girl goes white and they beat feet out the door and I got bitched at for costing him potential customers. . . as we laughed. Don't drink and ink.

my brother took me and his two friends when he got his first tattoo. the dude didn’t seem angry or annoyed, but that could’ve been a coverup🤷🏼‍♀️

I brought 2 People. They where suppose to meet at the parlor when i was finished. But they where Early! So they got the ok to sit and wait inside

She is so tired of having to disclaim that😅 probably repeated that a billion times in her career

It's funny that this pops up as i'm getting a tattoo done in Vegas 😂

You had me up until you said artist respect my time lol

I like to shave before I go in too, especially if it is a *Hairy area that is being tattooed because those cheep dollar store razors do not do the job. 🤣

Can you suggest a tip amount for a tattoo. Is it expected. Thank you!

These are all big facts!!

The thought of people going to get inked and STINK is crazy to me?!! I don't know how people could. Embarrass themselves like that! 🤣

What I’ve learned from both my sleeves and my recent( Saturday ) left chest sessions to always eat eat eat before hand and being a ton of energy drinks and snacks and if you like to smoke bring a vape with you. Also bring a car pillow with you if their chairs don’t have one and if your shirt is off being a towel as well in case you sweat a lot while getting tattooed to lay your back on. I usually start to sweat a little bit towards the 5-7 hr mark if the artist had a heavy hand. But Saturdays didn’t even sweat a bit it was the easiest session I’ve ever had next to my right outer forearm tattoo. Next month when this is healed I’m going in for touch ups and he wants to add some more textures which is nice of him and I’ll be setting up for the next week my right chest with him. Also prepare to spend a lot of money if you want good artists because that’s what they charge when their time is always getting booked but tipping amount is up to you. I actually don’t agree with the tipping ( I still do ) of big money artists but that’s for another day

Good to know. I’m starting my full sleeve in a few months.

I loved being the kid in the tatoo shop. My mom had tattoos and had a step sibling at one point that was an artist. I was a very mature kid cause of my upbrining so you can bet no one noticed me

Very nice way to put that information out there...two 👍👍for this one Inked!

Usually we come with 3 (in total) because my mom, brother and I usually get a tattoo at the same day at the same time

Love the shop and her energy

im pregnant with my beer belly lol

Thats the face of someone who dealt with alot of idiots

As a tattoo artist I can only agree with a few of these.

I got scared when you said show up sober 😂

I hope my music has a place in the industry 🔥🙏

I'm glad she said be sober because I was gonna take a fat dab and come in lmao

Imagine bringing that home to meet the family

The only time I brought more than one person was when we was all getting tatted! Me, my mom, my sister, and my other sister!

MAD PROPS FOR THAT MALORT!!!!!

Was that Malort? Is that man sipping Malort??? Brave soul

There was only one time I went with two people bc it was a walk in thing and we didn’t plan on it but we were all just talking quietly, we all three got tats

Not sure about being on time. My son’s appointment was at noon, the artist didnt show until 30 mins later and the tat session didn’t start until over an hour later. My daughter waited over an hour for the guy to show up. Not all artists are like this but have experienced a few in my days. 🤷‍♂️

I was rollin when I got a tattoo and it tickled. Had a couple beers too and it turned out great lol

"They respect your time..." When? Who?

Iv only brought another person when I got my first tattoo, my mom was paying for it and I was hella nervous

She professional

bro had a ginormous bottle of malort

People who don’t turn up on time would be the worst I have always gone early I haven’t been drunk I have been high for some of mine and I’m always clean. I would just charge drunk people way more for being drunk

Personal note: When i had my first session with the artist (who i’m now good friends with!) i had saved up and told him what my budget was before we booked the day. Difference is: «Hey man, my budget is 1400$. I wish i could go higher but that’s all i can afford» Sounds better than: «Can i get it for 1400$? How mich is it gonna cost? Could you cut me a deal if it’s more expensive?» Luckily that was his rate for a full day, and i think we might’ve gone a bit longer as well. He told me before we started that it was completely cool to bring up cost and budget, as long as one does it in a nice way.

I take contraceptives due to medical conditions. I always want to get tattoo and it's my 1st time am I eligible?

I like how Malort was chosen as the alcohol in the video.

“Show up on time” maybe you should be making this for the artists not the canvases fr😂

Feel like we need more explanation on number 6.

Could I bring my friend Mary?(Jane)

Back in my drink all night, sleep tomorrow night and forget the shower days, artists loved me 😂 Everytime "you were drinking last night werent you?" These days i do EVERYTHING i can to show my artist respect. Also the fact my artist keeps a meat cleaver right next to his machine and weapons EVERYWHERE also helps keep me in check. One of the straightest shooting, nicest dudes out there, but you couldn't even pay me to get on his bad side.

I’m bringing my squad. Lol

with #4 my artist was like 2 hours late and i showed up 15 minutes early LMAO the tat came out good tho

damn so i do have to sleep 😭

I never eat before tattoos, and never had any issues, sometimes I get them on empty stomachs, don’t know why I see this so often? Can anyone explain why?

Does anemia count as a medical condition they would be worried about?

The fact that INKED offices has a bottle of Malort is so unsettling lol

Uh oh, there was 2 people there when I got my first tattoo. But then my brother also got a tattoo right after lol

"Artists respect your time", I think I need a new parlour.

Funnily enough I'm usually the one who's one time and the artist is the one who's late. They're too good to complain tho

हा वीडीयो आवडला 👌👌♥️♥️♥️💘💘💘♥️♥️♥️👌👌👌💋💋💋💋💋🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

So basically have common decency

So i can get a tattoo eventhough im anemic???

The same rules vise versa

I brought my roommate with me when I got my last tattoo only cuz he was gonna get one but the artist left for the day before he could get to my roommate lol (we were walk ins)

Yeah I usually don’t bring anyone

Is it okay to bring my bf and mom ? It’s my first tattoo

I was so drunk my first tattoo and my friend was like your bleeding alot. You been drinking? 😂 .... nahh

What if I tell you when scheduling up front that we have multiple people wanting to get tattoos at the same time?

Things have definitely changed a lot since I got my 1st tattoo

My dad gave me my first tattoo.

if you go into a shop and theres no flash, walk out

I'm judging society hard because these things have to be said at all. Common sense, hygiene, and good manners have to be taught to whole ass adults. Ugh!!! 😩

I requested the day off months in advance and plan to go alone. My partner wishes he can go. I didn't think to invite him because I want it early in the morning when I don't have to worry about coming home from work, showering, and running to the shop. Shop emails to not bring anyone. 😂 I was like no problem.

I am always stoned when getting tattoos lmao

I spy Malort!!!

🙌🏻🙌🏻

Ehh every time I ever been tattooed it’s been with a group and they never cared since they’re getting $1000 with tip each time 😂😂

Do you guys have studios outside US?

did my tattoo today, arrived 10 min late and brought 4 people with kkkk

Hi, biologist here. Alcohol doesn’t thin the blood, it makes your capillaries dilate and that’s why you bleed more. It’s a common misconception in the tattoo industry and I feel like it needs to be clarified

So I comment a year ago on this since then I got a tattoo and the person before me was an hour late so I had to wait an extra hour and it took 4.5 hours to finish my tattoo I was so pissed at the girl before me

I always smoke before I get a tattoo

She sounds like my science tracher

Should I shave before too? I'm not particularly hairy in the area I'm gonna get tattooed, but there's still that really fine hair you can't see unless you look up close (does that make sense?).

At the shop I went too you can't bring someone with you sadly. Because of covid

But if you have a new born and cant get sleep at night 😂😂 what should i doo doing 4 maby 6 tattoos in 2 days 😅

Ok 👌

Got my tattoo with a hungover 2x within 2 consecutive days. I am not gonna do that again.

would i have to inform an artist that i have anemia (iron-deficiency in my blood)

First don't do what all these people do. Do what you want to do. Think before you act,( even if you can't act) you will thank yourself for the fact.

The best tattoo parlor I have ever been at had free soda to keep the bloodsugar high and if you have a whole day session you get a free sandwich halfway through

100

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate and pack snacks for long sessions.

Artists should show up in time take their own advice

#3 is bullshit depends on your artist.

Don't forget to tip your artist!!!

It's cool if we stoned right obviously if we know how to handle it

I smoke a fat joint before I get inked 😚💨💨💨💨💨🐾🤷🏼‍♂️

Who knew white hair can be so sexy???!!!💥💥💥💥💥💥
