30 Times Tattoo Artists Had To Deal With Customers From Hell

Well said. 👏🏼

People should realize they are not the one and only person making or breaking a business. They are just a drop in the bucket or small splat out of a full bucket. Not going to make much of a difference if one person is barred. If anything, keeping out a bad customer will prevent loss.

Now I want to go support this shop. My uncle was a convicted felon. Was he a bad person? No just stupid and made stupid decisions that got him arrested and convicted. Did his actions harm anyone? No. Does he deserve to never be given a chance to make up for his stupid mistakes? No. Everyone willing to try to make up for their stupidity absolutely deserves a chance. I'd absolutely let Bradley tattoo me if I like his style

I'll go to him in place of the jerk. So glad that you have barred him from your shop. You don't need to be tattooing idiot a*s........

I never said that man couldnt live in society anymore. I am 100% for reinsertion of prisoners. Mh sister was raped and killed when she was 16. His murderer took 10 years and served 7 before he was free and then killed again. And yes, i will hate that man forever. Thats why I would hate the idea to have a former murderer to tatoo on my skin something i would have to live for everyday. That would be my right to chose somebody else. I wouldnt have expose that like the client did in the post did thoug. Yes, I mixed up on the years count, you're right. Oops.

the last comment made me lol

Wow. As a Pagan, I am offended by the beggar. The last comment though *chef's kiss*

Goes from praise to insults in a nanosecond.

That last comment... lolllll

That last comment! Brilliant!

Meh, I'd add another $50 as a "You're An A$$" tax.

If the other place was cheaper why not go there?? I'm guessing something is making you Not want to go there.. sometimes you have to pay extra for quality 🤷🏽‍♀️

Go ahead, complain some more and then it will be $300.

If money is that tight, wtf are you doing wasting it on tattoos?

never understand this concept of price matching, if it's cheaper elsewhere, go there and stop wasting everyone's time

I'd pick her up and drop her off at the nearest costume shop since she clearly wants to be a clown.

Tattoo a car on her.

I know too many girls like this, I won't say women. Just because you have a pair of t!ts, does not make men your slave.

Again, don’t say yes to these people. Prolly pretty or used to be rich and used to getting her way.

Sure. I'll pick you up at the corner at 3.

If it's cheap, it will probably need a cover. They are okay to do that cover for mentionned price.

Freaking love this one. You are paying for a person's skill. Generally speaking less money = less skill (or at least less experience). Pay Cadillac prices, get a Cadillac tattoo, pay pinto prices, get a pinto tattoo (Also some people like a pinto or it's what they can afford, which is fine)

Good doesn't come cheap...and cheap doesn't come good.... you 100% get what you pay for.

I'm not getting the sarcasm in the sign.

Suck I'm an ignorant drunk who smokes weed, which makes me smelly and leaded to me becoming dirty and pregnant.

Good for these folks standing up to people! Nobody needs to put up with jerks who think they are entitled to yell at people to get their way! These kind of people are used to screaming and a business caves because they just want the jerk gone.

Hope we're not stereotyping people who want tattoos?

you're*

The woman is in the wrong here, of course, but idk, it seems to me that the artist's reply is unnecessarily brutal.

I loathe it when people pull the "single parent" card. I get it, it's tough to raise children, especially as a single parent, but that does not mean that the world owes you. No one owes you s**t. Also, why the f**k do these people think it's okay to use their children like this? Children are not discount cards, stop treating them like it!

Why are people like this?? I don't think it's a good idea to make a person who is working with needles and permanent ink mad. What this man could do to her. If money is tight either don't get it, ask whoever gives you a Christmas gift saying you would like this tattoo instead of a gift, ask the man if you can pay installments. I want my first tattoo but I didn't realize what the price could be and I was dumb on my part. There's just so many other ways to go about this and the artist is really being straight forward. People like this woman irks me so badly. She deserved everything he said to her but she won't learn from it. Anyone who can't pay for a tattoo and is a single mom then she has her priorities mixed up. Hey can I get a tattoo for free since I agree with the artist?!! I'll wait on the list to be seen!! LOL!

To be fair, s/he didn’t need to respond that rudely

Such a polite honest explanation. It's a crying shame that people can't grasp the concept that these people deserve to get paid for their work too 😔

I used to love the people who got mad when they’d walk in on Friday the 13th, we’d do a special event, 2x2 for $20, 3x3 for $30 and 4x4 for $40. And want me to put them down for a tapout $400 for 8hrs, any thing you want and you could break it up into 2 hour blocks. When I told them that they could pay and come back (insert date here) I’ve had them say, “well I should get a discount for having to come back”. To which I’ve replied, people like you are why I drink. They’d leave and come back at a later date.
