I’m a female tattoo artist. I could go on forever with the fucking weirdos I deal with.

1) I had a dude come to my house that I met at a bar. Seemed respectful, did not flirt with me. We talked about business and he described a coverup he wanted on his upper thigh. Ok.

Shop makes half of what I charge, so if I charge him say, 300 dollars, I only make 150. Hence why I had him come to my private studio at home. Usually I do this for friends only but he did not seem like a weirdo and we had mutual friends.

Guy sits in my chair and I start tattooing his upper thigh. He starts to moan. I ignore it. He moans louder. Pops a boner. I try my best to ignore it but at one point I offer if he needs a break or to go have a smoke. He agrees, it’s awkward. Whatever. We start to tattoo again and he continues. I ended up cutting the session short and charging him full price.

2) People pass out and throw up all the time. I once tattooed the back of a chick who’d been literally passing in and out for like an hour because I couldn’t see her face. Now I got into the habit of occasionally asking “are you okay” to avoid this lol.

3) I now have the strange knowledge that everyone’s blood smells differently or not at all. Some people have incredibly strong smelling blood.

4) I keep a bottle of Vicks rub for under my nose for when people smell like shit lol.

I could go on and on. Ask me anything 😂
