God. Damnit. People.

Okay...I'll be honest.

I'm a little peeved.

What the fuck is wrong with people? I just don't fucking understand.

This girl came in tonight with this "start" to a candy themed "half sleeve."

Isn't that just sweet!?

(see what I did there?)

I'm going to give you an important life lesson.

A lesson that could really help you out in the future.

Shut up. Fucking listen.

If you get tattooed out of someone's house (regardless of whether or not they "used to have a shop" or "I've actually seen them do good work), you are an idiot.

If you go to a shitty shop and get a shitty tattoo because you're going to save a measly $20 instead of going to a different shop and paying a pinch more to get a REAL tattoo, you are a piece of shit.

If you let some fuckwit who bought a "tattoo kit" off of the internet "practice" on you for the sake of letting them gain "experience", you are a really big piece of shit

If YOU are the one who buys a "tattoo kit" off the internet and aspire to "learn" how to tattoo out of your house, you are the biggest piece of shit and you need to get your goddamn thumbs cut off.

It boils down to this:

Save up your money. Go to a GOOD tattooer, a tattooer who has a portfolio that you have looked at. A tattooer at a REAL shop who went through a REAL apprenticeship. Get a fucking real tattoo.

Brutalize a scratcher.

Sorry to pop off like that. Was this a little too serious for this site?
