🚨 CLIENT CONFESSIONS FROM YOUR LOCAL TATTOO SHOP LOL 🚨
“I want something small, meaningful, and cheap.”
Translation:
👉 Full sleeve
👉 12 different ideas
👉 Pinterest collage energy
👉 Budget: $60 and a Monster
“I want it right here…”
(points to elbow ditch / ribs / straight over bone)
“…but I don’t want it to hurt.”
Oh perfect—lemme just turn pain off real quick 👍
“Can you add a lion, a clock, roses, a wolf, my kids’ birthdays, and make it tiny?”
Brother… that’s not a tattoo.
That’s a whole documentary.
“My buddy said he’ll do it for $40.”
Yeah—and your buddy’s work looks like it was done in a moving truck with a fork.
AFTERCARE:
Me: “Take care of it, keep it clean, no lake, no sun.”
You: immediately goes swimming, drinks all weekend, ignores it
Also you: “Why does it look like this??”
COVER-UPS:
“Can you just put a small flower over this?”
(brings in the worst tattoo known to mankind)
That ain’t a flower job… that’s a full-blown ecosystem 🌹🐍🌿

All jokes aside… I got you.
Good tattoos aren’t cheap, and cheap tattoos aren’t good.
