Tattoo artists hear some absolutely criminal sentences in the chair.
1. “I haven’t eaten today.”
Amazing. So now we’re tattooing you and preparing for a medical episode. Love a two-for-one. 😭
2. “Last time I got tattooed I passed out.”
Really useful information to mention after we’ve started.
Now every time you blink for too long I’m checking for a pulse. 💀
3. “Wait… I think I spelt it wrong.”
You had one job.
Please don’t make us permanently memorialise “Micheal” because you panic-typed your own child’s name. 😂
4. “My mate can do it cheaper.”
Perfect. Go to your mate.
We’ll be here when you’re ready for the cover-up. 👀
5. “I spent all my money last night… can I pay you next week?”
This is a tattoo studio, not Klarna with needles. 😭
Tattoo artists are part artist, part therapist, part problem-solver… and occasionally just trying to process what they’ve heard in the last ten minutes.
What’s the worst / funniest thing someone could say in the tattoo chair? 👀
