Being under the influence is a big no, no, you should definitely do it." . For many reasons, you know, I mean the tattoo will bleed a lot more, causing week teks to make the tattoo heal poorly.

For you, I know it's annoying as a stylist if someone tries to tell me what to do and constantly bothers me about everything. It's like no, no, let me talk for a minute, but you really have to trust your

artist

. The worst thing you can do is you. you know be like oh what's up with this little place here you know what's up with this there what's up with that you know you can do this you can do that you know it's important to be specific about what you want to get but you don't want like you know point out every little detail and simply lean over your tattoo

artist

's shoulder.

I mean, personally, I like it when people aren't looking, you know, it's like letting me do my art, you know, you look. after it's done it's going to look amazing, you know, obviously, if there's something you know, obviously point out, but you don't want to be over the shoulder, like if you're driving in the backseat, you're not going to be in the backseat, adding yeah, There we go, so talking. on that last note, um, but being disrespectful, you don't want to show up in a store, being disrespectful, disrespectful, I don't think anyone appreciates you and you included someone who came to your house and was rude to everyone, that's the worst.
Honestly, what to me is people coming in like trash in the bathroom, it doesn't happen very often, but it's like you know when you go to a friend's house it's almost like people come out, whatever, no It's my bathroom, no. I don't have friends like yeah, I got rid of them like their food in the trash, yeah, it's like, first of all, a medical procedure was

tattooed

, you know, so you want to be clean, you want to be respectful and you also don't want to like leave it as food and you know, throwing trash in the bathroom and stuff like that because you want to be nice, we try to keep the place as sterile as possible so I feel like doing your part is very important, I mean who wants it if someone is being rude? for your employees, I'm sure that affects your mood, like with the person you're tattooing, it's like ah, I don't know if I want to do this, so the headgear is putting permanent ink on your body, do you really want to do it? ? be disrespectful to the guy who bothered to do something permanent to your progress in your life, you piss him off, there you go, so another disrespectful, very disrespectful, advice for people watching this video is to ask yourself if you are an artist, a copy, another artist is working now.
Obviously, bringing in reference photos is absolutely fine, but the worst thing you can do is get a tattoo and it will be exactly what I wanted because not only is it disrespectful to the artist who did the original design, but it's also disrespectful. of respect for the artist who is about to tattoo you right now because he doesn't want to copy and wants to do something original. As an artist, you want to make something your own, something your own, your own style, so telling him to copy someone else's work is almost Hey, your works aren't as good as this guy's work, so make it more like this guy, okay so I'm going to let Romeo take this one too because you mentioned this and I can't believe this happens yeah

things

not to do. in a tattoo shop, don't vomit on your tattoo artist, it's not true, you might be wondering: how is that possible?
Believe it or not, and I really hope this girl is not watching this video. This is embarrassing, but one girl actually threw up. I once was

getting

her first tattoo. She hadn't eaten a full meal. She was very nervous and ended up exploding at me while she was doing her first tattoo. Yes, so you have to stop there. Did you continue well? Obviously you have to ask that I mean, yeah, obviously I didn't, you move on, you know, a whole ordeal had to end, I had to clean, she had to go change, yeah, it was also quite a sterilization disaster that took , as you know, a good few minutes. and obviously I wasn't in a very good mood after finishing the tattoo, so eat on a full stomach, you know, on a full stomach, another thing you don't want to do is rush your tattoo artist if you have a certain amount of time and that's. everything you have and the artist doesn't agree with that amount of time then you need to reschedule it.
Have you been rushed? Yeah, I mean, this happens, I mean, it doesn't happen all the time, but every once in a while this happens, you know? I've had people come in, book an appointment, and show up and say, "Oh, by the way, I have to be. You know I have to go to a concert after this. You know, can we do this in 45 minutes in person?" When I get

tattooed

, I obviously do longer sessions so I usually don't do anything else for us that day, but even if you're getting something small, make sure you set aside a good amount of time because you don't know how. how long it will take the artist to draw it, you don't know if there will be back and forth traffic.
I mean, just look, you know you want to plan ahead and make sure you don't have to rush the artists because it's not going to be with you forever and that's probably the artwork why would you want to rush? I mean, someone's stuff is common sense, but you still have to let people know that it just doesn't look like you're going crazy, you see it as appropriate. amount of time there you go, so we've talked about this before, but I think it's really important to mention again that you definitely don't want to bring a whole team of people with you, so bring it as a group and bring everyone as you. you know the whole football team, your whole class, you know the family like you, I know Jim, grandma, Tim Tom, everyone else likes it when you get a tattoo, it's a very intimate experience and personal and you also want to make sure that the artist can Focus now, obviously, bringing a friend or two.
I usually try to limit myself to one, it's usually fine, but you also have to keep in mind that the artist has to focus and concentrate, so bring seven or eight people with you and they. Being loud and rowdy is something you definitely don't want to do, so I only have one tattoo, but I'm definitely guilty. I brought like a little heart tattoo, but I wanted moral support, so I was that annoying girl. that broke my tattoo It was probably nice Oh, slide on your tattoo yeah, I thought you had like five or six people Wow, okay, this one's for you, this tip is for you, I'll

never

do that again, okay though, Romy , I'm really curious to know your opinion on this because I've definitely heard it from a couple of tattoo artists, but you guys who haggle over prices

never

know, so yeah, I was having it before.
It's so important that I think it's very important to mention it if you know. Yeah it's okay to have a budget, but I think you should definitely contact the tattoo artist or for some reason I think what usually happens to me is sometimes people who show up for their tattoo appointment say, "Hey ". In fact, I no longer have the full amount we talked about in the email. I think you know things happen from time to time, but I feel like it's good to communicate with the artist beforehand so the artists can do it. You already know half the tattoo or maybe reschedule it for later, but you definitely don't want to show up after you've already communicated and agreed on a price with the artist and okay, great, so I went with you.
I know I went and wasted all my money, you know, at the mall last week, so now I only have half, so can we do half? Because yes, because she is very annoying, for artists like me, who to tattoo by appointment if not. If you have a certain amount of time, you know it's like this is purple for the artist and it also makes it harder for the artist to plan ahead if you come in last, then you're fine, great. Well, you know, let's just do this or that. I don't know if you've noticed, but this is a respect list, so we try to avoid being disrespectful or rude in any way, so that's definitely another point that you guys already know. be respectful remember people's time at the right time exactly be respectful of people's time so I've talked extensively about this just so you guys know that you guys life in general always have good hygiene but especially When they get a tattoo and I'm sure you get very close to people's bodies.
I think that's a very important point, yes, so I wish I didn't have stories to tell, but unfortunately I have quite a few, so what happens quite often is that girls get tattoos on their feet. So, you know, I do a lot of tattoos on girls' feet and then they come in with sneakers and sweaty socks. Oh, it's like you tattoo your foot, shouldn't you wear sandals and wash your feet before you show up? to the tattoo shop, but yeah, you think that happened. Several ladies, come on, you're getting a lot more death, I don't know how, and death doesn't want to have it, no, we don't need these police officers to show up. clean and surely dying, so before we move on to the next point, if you have been enjoying this video, make sure to like it, subscribe to my channel for more videos like this and hit the Bell icon to get notified every time I go up a video and I'm going to link to Romeo's YouTube channel in the description below, so definitely be sure to check it out for all the tattoo related content.
That's pretty good, and the last point is that it sounds very obvious. I hope it's obvious, but don't do it. Come unprepared, yeah, so it's really important that if you're going to change your mind about your tattoo, you don't want to show up at the last minute and say, "Okay, so I want to completely change my idea after the artists are you." ". I've been planning ahead for your tattoo or you know change, like you know the location or the idea. I mean there are so many things that you weren't deaf at first, come prepared when it comes to your tattoo because nothing is more than a headache for the artist, they have already been planning ahead, they have to change everything and redo everything in last minute and you might not end up on the bike, whatever you changed your mind on Tuesday, sure, you know what you want, make sure of it and then do it, execute it or you shouldn't. just get it, you're not sure you're changing your mind, you should probably even get tattoos, that's a good point, that's true, okay guys, thanks so much for watching, thanks for joining, thanks for having me and I'll see it on the next, good, bye
