I’m a tattoo artist and I’ve had a few people drift off lately. As a professional, I actually take it as a compliment because it means they’re relaxed, but I’m curious, do people think we hate it? Ask me anything about the shop ‘green flags’ or ‘red flags’ you’ve been too afraid to ask your artist!


Haha, art is definitely subjective! One person’s ‘clipart’ is another person’s meaningful symbol or aesthetic choice. As an artist, I just love that people use their skin to express themselves, whether it’s a tiny simple design or a massive custom piece. To each their own!
