Paid Members Up Chuck Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Pitcos, you've got more than 10 times as many posts as him, so if you tell him he hasn't earned the right to critique us yet, he has to either shut up or defeat his own logic.

UK Kat Von D Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Maxwell i go into your shop and ask for my first tattoo to be a neck tattoo. Are you going to refuse to do it?Yeah I will happily turn business away. I make enough money without having to tattoo anything I feel uncomfortable with. Not including the things already mentioned I also turn away stuff like racist tattoos, partner's names or designs I know will look bad. But I suppose you are all going to say I am wrong for that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hahaha... that is atrocious!! Where the fuck did you find that TripleA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Curious Orange Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 But then isn't the whole theory about tattoos and earning your dues mainly have its history in gangs like the Russian Mafia, where you have to earn your crosses and all that business? People in tattoo circles saying that kind of stuff about normal tattoos just strikes me as posing and people wanting to appear the tough guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 It's all so pathetically elitist that it's almost funny. It's also bordering on discrimination. I'm contacting my MP.I do love the idea that there is a band of militant tattooists and designers who have drawn up their own set of rules as to what people are allowed to have and not have, though.

UK Kat Von D Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Its a traditional tattoo on my best mate. Its a joke tattoo tattoo on his foot (somewhere that can only be seen when he is at home or decides to show people.) I'm just going to give up now before this goes on forever. You might not understand and thats fine with me. But like it or not there are certain traditions in tattooing that have been around a lot longer than I have. I love tattoos and I understand you guys just don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Judging by your responses, it seems like you have a million rules and beliefs on tattooing, yet have no idea why you have those beliefs. Its all "those are the rules, they've been around a million years" and all those bollocks. Yet you fail to explain why you believe in them. You seem like a follower and a muppet. A proper dribbler who just spouts off and drinks the koolaid of some gonk who tells you what you should be doing with your life. I'd have thought someone who was big into tattoos would be far more original than just following a trend handed out by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are actually interested in what I believe and would like me to explain then there is a thread in off topic.

Paid Members FLips Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2012 Have you got any links to any websites or blogs or anything that state these such well known (by only you) rules and regulations? It's just I've googled everything from "Tattoo rules/etiquette" to "disrespectful places to get your first tattoo" and nothing is coming up at all. Nothing on any famous tattooists interviews or blogs, right down to the disputable Yahoo Answers.I've also asked friends who have tie-ins with Tattoo magazines and they don't have a fucking clue what you're on about either. Me -You have a good idea about Tattoos don't you?Him -yeahMe- well some lad is claiming that you can't get a tattoo on your hand or neck unless you have like two sleeves first or something. Says you have to "pay your dues" before you can get themis that a thing, or is he chatting shit?Him -lmaowhat a twatwho is this guythat is bullshitMe -http://thisisthemaxwellmurder.tumblr.com/He said he's been a tattooist for like 10 years or something. He has a load of people telling him he's chatting shit and he's calling them all uneducated and implying they're all thick and don't have a clue.Him- what the hell, nah he is chatting shit. His profile says it all... he has to be right all the timethere's probs 2 of the most painful so you can get advised not to get it there, and start elsewhere.. but it's your decision at the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil is brill Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just out of curiosity, I only have 5 tattoos. 3 on one forearm, 1 on the other, and my most recent on my neck. Obviously I've not payed my dues according to these ridiculous rules, so will I now have to decapitate myself to ensure that I'm abiding by your standards?
