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 No idea where you pulled ten years from, I'm 23. You have quite obviously written that yourself. Is that supposed to be your random mate from a tattoo magazine then?Oh are you? I just assumed you were some sort of veteran of Tattooing the way you go on. No, he wasn't the one from the magazine but he has enough tattoos and has enough tattoo designer/artist friends to know a thing or two, or at least have heard of your mad rules. You still haven't answered the question either, got any links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members 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?I actually totally agree with that, if you do a shit looking tattoo that's your reputation so turning it down is fine. I turn down Disco's I know aren't gonna go well. You're no arm of neck rule just makes you look like a massive toolbox though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted May 13, 2012 Paid Members 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?No, but you could probably sue the tattoo artist for negligence.

If someone wants Britney Spears's face on their arm, and the tattooist is known for portraits, should he still be telling a customer that they can't have what they want, just because he doesn't like the person he's being asked to draw?

Paid Members Chris B Posted May 14, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 I get the feeling that the people who were telling Maxwell about these traditions are the same kind of people that send the work experience lad to the shops for tartan paint.

neil is brill Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Are you serious?Afraid so. A tattooist told me to do it because I haven't levelled up enough to have this piece on my neck. Who needs a head anyways?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
