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!
I’m one of those that tend to sleep, I also like to speak and would never look at my phone as I find that both disrespectful and a loss of a nice shared moment.
If the artist is zoned in and won’t speak I will just chill and fall asleep, but will happily talk for a few hours if spoken to. I am just a bit sensible to endorphines so I am actually quite drunk while getting a tattoo, and probably not a very good converstation partner.
I love this! The ‘tattoo drunk’ feeling from endorphins is 100% real, and honestly, it’s one of the best ways to handle a long session. I never find it disrespectful when a client zones out or naps, it actually helps me stay ‘zoned in’ on the work. It’s definitely a shared moment, even if it’s a quiet one… i also kinda wanna see your tats lol
Nah, not posting as I like to keep it anon sorry. I am a beardy guy with a lot of cute cartoonish animals and characters. My goal is to have my and my friends kids pass the afternoons colouring in my rabbits and fishies on my arms
