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 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
