Professional Tattoo Etiquette Do's & Don'ts
- DON'T BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS WHILE GETTING THE TATTOO.
For one thing, it's annoying to tattoo a loud & drunk person. For another, it's hard to tattoo when you're too drunk or too high to keep still. So please, be in
your best condition. We take this job seriously, and any good tattooer will refuse to tattoo a person who's not in good condition for tattooing.
- DON'T BRING YOUR KIDS.
The Tattoo shop is a place for grownups and we all know that. Having kids running around the shop not only will distract the tattoo artist, but it also subjects them to potentially encountering the tattoo shop's biohazardous wastes which can be dangerous to their health. There's a lot of blood happening in a tattoo shop; different kinds of blood from strangers with unknown medical
histories. We want to keep our kids away from that. Also, getting a tattoo while telling your toddler to chill out every 10 minutes is just unnecessary stress to give your body. So get tattooed wisely and leave the kids safe at home. It's for you & your child's good.
- DON'T BRING AN ENTOURAGE.
At first it's fun. But when the tattoo session starts to take long & grueling hours, some might grow bored & tired of waiting. They'll stand up, walk around, check you out, and sit back again. It could be quite distracting for the tattoo artist to play host.
- KEEP STILL.
If it hurts, take some deep, meditative breathing. Clear your mind & think mind over matter. Pain is just there and it won't kill you. Think strong thoughts. You'll earn that beautiful tattoo soon.
- LET YOUR ARTIST CONCENTRATE ON HIS WORK.
If he's not talking, it doesn't mean he's being rude. He's simply just concentrating. Tattooing, as in carefully inserting pigments to the correct area of the skin, requires much concentration. So if you want the best work, let your artist focus to conserve his creative energy.
- TIP YOUR TATTOO ARTIST
Tip him as you would to a waiter or driver for his good service. Especially if you made him do a lot of revisions and a lot of laborious work. Tipping your artist makes him feel appreciated and establishes a good relationship for the next tattoo projects to come.
Etiquette is just basic common sense of good social behavior. Having this kind of wisdom gives you power to be more knowledgeable about the tattooing process and establishes a good bond with your chosen tattoo artist.
Now enjoy your new tattoo! And don't forget to take note of the aftercare procedures. The end result of the tattoo lies upon you.
