Never piss off your tattoo artists.

What makes a tattoo fun toe work on artistic freedom is what makes it fun.

The more freedom I have, more fun.

It is.

I like enemy and animal portrait.

It really makes me happy to work on what our common mystic some tattoo artists make.

People may misunderstand what customer like about the colors or yeah, the shading.

Maybe the common mistake's tattoo artists make arm or on the artistic side than the technical, making it look really and look solid.

But every artist makes mistakes.

It's a matter of how well they hide them.

Lettering.

Mistakes are horrible experience.

Early in my career, I made a couple.

Ever since then, I'm a lot more careful about making sure everything spelled right.

What do you do when someone doesn't like a tattoo after it's finished?

Well, that's simple.

You club him with a baseball bat and drag him out in the back so no one finds there's one customer may be the first little second year I start tattooing.

He was just mentioned like he wants a lie and geometric, and that's it.

And he said, Oh, you can't design whatever you want.

And he said, Oh, I like it blah, blah, blah And a week later he sent me an email, and he's like, Oh, this is not what exactly I want.

Oh, you have to fix it.

I'm like, Dude, it's a wrap around arm.

If you want to fix it, you might be just remove your skin or guess I'm like laser or something because it's not my mistake.

Once you're a seasoned artists, you know how to make it clear as to what they're going to expect.

Have I ever laughed at anyone in pain?

Absolutely.

After getting my head tattooed nine hours in a concussion.

But I don't really feel pain much anymore after that experience.

So when someone's in pain, I kind of chuckle on my bedside manner is not the greatest.

So the more pain you're in, the more I kind of laugh atyou.

Maybe I'm laughing with you, not at you.

There's a mother.

Her daughter also came together with her, and she just wants a tiny batty boobs.

And she's like, Oh my God, what I'm doing Oh my God.

Oh, I cannot Oh, like like I'm like, Okay, so it's gonna just be like 10 minutes work and you gave birth to a daughter.

So it's maybe the most painful level Not laugh.

But yeah, I laughing inside of Have I ever tattooed someone's genitals?

Plenty, mostly females.

I don't know how to say I'm like what I come at your dick with a needle in direction is the last thing that's gonna happen if anything is gonna be like a turtle popping his head back in the show.

So you've got a kind of yank it, pull it over your finger and pull it tight and do the tattoo E o.

Who are the worst customers?

Well, believe it or not, I tattoo a lot of tattoo artists, and they are definitely the worst customers.

They tend to want to help you, So they're moving their body, thinking they're getting in the right position, and all of it is doing is annoying you.

You just need them to sit still.

When behave, preferably shut up half the time and just endure it.

I hate people like keep screaming and, uh, talking really loud.

Me.

If you think you cannot do with the pain, just don't do it.

What's the best way to negotiate prices.

We may ask clients, What's your budget?

And if it's close to our original price, we can do that, and we can just price down for your piece.

And but if it's too big difference, we may ask you to find another shop or some saving and come back.

Trying to negotiate down and haggle down the price is just gonna leave a bad taste in the tattoo his mouth.

And you may not get the 100% quality work that you were hoping for.

Never take a chance.

Never pissed off your tattoo artist.

What tattoos do I get nervous about giving?

I don't get nervous.

You can't get nervous.

There's no room for nervous.

Tattooing requires a great degree of confidence.

So if you're nervous for a tattoo as an artist, uhh.

You're probably not performing at top notch tattoos.

You should not get significant others.

Your boyfriend, your girlfriend.

It's a jinx, man.

It's job security for us to fix that every day.

Another one would be logos.

I don't know.

It makes you a billboard.

It seems kind of lame to me.

Unfortunately, in tattooing, there are trends like tribal was a trend for a while.

Spent years fixing that crap after it wasn't a trend anymore.

What part of the body is the most painful stomach?

The ribs, the feet, the hands lower spine.

But on the knees, close to the born back off.

Like I'm here, it all hurts.

It's an annoying pain.

And you just gotta deal with, um, Faras where it hurts the least.

Well, that's probably on someone else.

Yeah, Thank you for watching.
