tattoo

, but maybe people who are drunk. that's the only time we like to do that oh you can get that too you're too drunk that's all people come saying for example I want to have a chicken wing up my butt you know you're going to regret it , that's love when they suffered that kind of thing, you know what a client asked me to

tattoo

his stain, but you know that after talking to them and what he wanted, he wanted his lover's initials, we don't tattoo his lover's initials. no lover or partner, independently of him. he wasn't going to tattoo me, I told him $2,000 and he walked out the door just because of the insanity of the fact that someone had to be in a happy baby pose while I tattooed everything.

I try to stay away from what I think is dumb because my name is on it you know so I don't want any kind of feedback, bad feedback, so well today I

d hmm to do tribal senses last time I did it I think that I was falling asleep because I was just doing this. and this and this again is very boring you know honestly I'm dyslexic I can't do letter

tattoos

I can't do them so I refuse to do them because they're not going to look good I'm a In general, I would refuse to do

tattoos

on my face, especially on younger boys or girls.

It's true, I almost always try to convince people not to get tattoos on their hands if they don't have sleeves yet. Some people just come in and say, "Oh, I won face." tattoo or I want a tattoo on my finger I want - under my foot like, oh, like these young couples who are like 18 and just mm-hmm and then they've been related for four months and they want to get matching tattoos. or most of the time only girls like a tattoo, they have to do it, but everyone I can cover it up later. I just want the guys name and they're like, "Okay, what are you doing like the guys who never want?" Chat with them like it's oh wait, oh wait, they're smarter.

Actually, I won't touch your romantic partner's name under any circumstances. For a while I was working with a women's shelter and all these women who were leaving. These domestic abuse situations had that person's name on them, it was almost too consistent, so I made the decision to never do that again and I won't make any hate symbols. I have a couple of people. I came in asking about Nazi tattoos that they use for graphic design, things that Nazis used to have, yeah, like swastikas, like iron crosses, eagles, and I was like, Sorry, I can't do that, this is not something I'm going to do for myself. .

It's wrong, it's wrong for my beliefs, I'm not going to do that, yeah, they don't think they're racist because they think this is a good thing, this is the right thing to do, yeah, so don't keep it a secret, just If they ask you to Whatever you do, they probably model things like they're racist and I tried not to do it with religious tattoos like how much they look like separatists to me, so if someone asked me for a cross, I'm the wrong guy. Nicki, I can do it the other way around, but I try not to reject tattoos.

I'm pretty open because my tattoos are like fine lines, but I definitely don't like racist tattoos or anything like symbolic symbology or for us. example in Colombia in which people receive the logo of their soccer team. I wouldn't do that goula for me, yeah, this guy was trying to get like an angel in the ribs and he was very adamant about whether she could ever get her tits out and I was like no, like I wasn't doing that, but he , what I know I am, can she ever take her tits off? Not for me, a lot of tattoos I guess I've recently said it's not the writing on the sides of the fingers here, yeah.

Because, I mean, even if you're a good tattoo artist and you apply tattoos very well, it's a very suspicious place and there's nothing a tattoo artist hates more than having to work, no, he knows he's going to have to touch others, so I. I guess some foundation for me would reject most tattoos that I know aren't going to last. stand the test of time, that's very important to me in tattooing and it comes from experience, you know, I've done tattoos that, you know, when I was three years old, 84 years that I've seen, you know, now I'm 10 years of tattooing and like oh man you know the red outline should have been black because bread doesn't age that well so learning things has made me realize you know those amazing watercolor looking tattoos that people like They love them, they have no blacks or outlines.

I won't look this good in five years. I don't like him personally. I don't like giving face tattoos to young people who are just starting to get tattoos, but you know, I don't want to say that they should have it. a life, a good career, but I want you to think about it more, you know, if you're going to do it, I made myself press L, I don't even have a face like that, I have something like my sideburns, well, but I'm in the industry. You know, it's like I'm not trying to go anywhere. I'm not planning any of that, but I feel like in this modern era a lot of 18 year olds are getting face tests everywhere and it's like no.

Think yeah, you're living off your mom now and it's cool that you're facing a hat, but in 30 years you're gonna have to pay your own damn bills and stuff, you know if you ain't rapping or you ain't Testament like they are. you're really going to work at McDonald's for the hat with a face or something and it's like I don't want to fail unless you already have it, if you already have it then I can add an extra one, but I don't want to be the first one to hurt you one way, you know, this guy wants to get a tree tattoo and he wants a very specific tree and we make trees all the time, so I wasn't really thinking about it much, but he was really In particular, the tree needed to be an exact replica of this other reference.

My assistant takes me aside and says, Hey girl, I'm not sure I want to do this, it's very associated with this rapper whose values ​​definitely don't align with yours and this is it. Definitely the kind of thing we normally reject immediately. Then I let him know that you know I don't. I just asked him, "Hey, could you tell me about this tattoo?" I really don't know what it means to you and me. I want you to know, create a dialogue there and he immediately got defensive, which I said, okay, great, so it's exactly what I thought it was and I'm not doing it, to which he was so angry and really. annoying and like my assistant, you know?

I just said, "We're not going to do, we're not going to do that" and he just insisted that he was like a feminist and a really good guy and I was like, "Sorry, but like a feminist and a really good guy." He doesn't align himself with guys who aren't really good, so that would be a time where he would turn down a tattoo. I really try hard to steer people away from certain violent and evil tattoos that, as you know, don't do them any favors, but I. I've still done a lot of really strange ones. I've made a lot of SWAT stickers in the past, but you know, there are a lot of good SWAT stickers, they were a very deep and meaningful symbol before the Nazis took them over.

Having said that, although you know, I said no to this Beatles tattoo, I just didn't want to talk about the Beatles for six hours while he did the portraits, no offense to the Beatles, they are a wonderful band, but you know that It's like the sticks in your head become annoying. I had to tell him no, listening to the Beatles so much was too much. This one recently came into Three Kings and he's a favorite among us to talk to, but this guy came in and was like, "Hey, me." Can? I got a quote on my eyebrow and I'm like, I don't know, man, what are you thinking? and he's like, I want to die and it was like, how about we call the suicide hotline instead?

You know, it builds hope, it really bridges the gaps between depression and life, let's do that instead buddy, it's like inner finger tattoos and I won't do them just because they don't stay, and even if you have one that stays like you. you're one in a million like I just don't know it always comes back to the artist people think we did a shit job and we were very adamant in telling them you know it doesn't stay it's not it's not the best place to get a tattoo so I would say About two years ago I was at the Baltimore tattoo convention and there was a guy who walked by the booth and was pacing back and forth and I stopped what I was doing for a second to go talk. to Mrs.

LaHaye I was gone, blah, blah, blah, he says, I love you, work, your work is really great. I've been trying to get a tattoo where everyone is giving me a hard time, blah blah blah, and the guy wanted a rocket on his penis and I like it. that every time I can't do it and he says man I really want you to do it, you know you have a very good job, well I don't like doing it with the kids, you have to get out of here, the worst thing is that I think it has to be hard to have Walt in your hand while you tattoo him and that's not fun, it doesn't sound like a fun activity so I'm French and people like to have French words or French words on themselves and I had that. girl who came one day and wanted me to tattoo her Mooka rib, a bell which is completely wrong in French because she's a monk on a bow, so I said, you can't write, I don't know, it doesn't mean anything, so it means my heart is beautiful, which already felt good, well it's strange to want to tattoo yourself, but why not?

But you can't write it this way and she said, but this is how I want it. I'm like I'm French. I'm not going to associate with something that's wrong with you and people will make fun of you and she said, well, I love the sound of it and this is ridiculous, I won't do it, I'm sorry, I won't do it and she was very insistent, I think we can change it, maybe my soul is beautiful, so if you like the specific world of Bell, I can ring it and it took me like an hour and a half to convince her that it manam a bell for my soul.

It's beautiful it was better than my heart is beautiful and I couldn't believe that she was almost shouting at me that that's what she wanted but this is very wrong yes let's trust the French girl when they write to us in French and I don't speak French if you
