I know this is mean but my first thought was a couple words does not make her a collector. Honestly in my neck of the woods it makes her basic..

I also love how the post itself basically reads like some buzzfeed listicle for “Top 8 Customers Tattoo Artists Hate”

- customers who want trendy, overly precious script font tattoos that will look dated in 20 years
- customers who insist on poor placement
- customers who have had scratch-work done and think that it’s…

Eh, a few people have brought that up and it’s kind of a non-comparison, though. A baker refusing to bake a wedding cake because it’s for a same-sex wedding is discrimination. The same baker refusing to decorate any cake with a specific message that offends his or her beliefs (no matter how narrow and stupid they are)…

On top of everything else... She’s got the ultimate non-tattoo person set of tattoos. Randomly placed small text tattoos are not at all evident of the kind of investment in tattoos that a person getting a neck tattoo should have in order to convince an artist.

God, this is just the pettiest, most bullshit fucking entitled post I’ve ever seen. Jane Marie, you are an awful, whiny, petulant, entitled person. Get fucked.

YES. I’m not heavily tattooed but I have many tattoo artist friends & shop managers and this is such a common policy (and IMHO should be even more common). Just because tattoos are gaining popular acceptance doesn’t mean that tattoo artists who care about their craft are just going to slap something on you. Back in…

Aside from the reasons people have mentioned, it’s also something that old school tattoo artists consider is more for tattoo artists, musicians, and gang members. It really only used to be those types that would have them. Hands and necks are serious decisions.

You don’t seem to understand where the artists are coming from and I find this whole article to be in incredibly poor taste, especially the bratty insults directed at someone who simply told you “no.”

Should he also be forced into doing cool work like these sick lightning bolts? I mean, your dime, your design, right?

Clearly it is someone who knows little about tattoos, she made sure to tell us about the grand total of 3, 1 inch script tattoos that she already has!

Female artist here. Don’t tattoo faces, necks, hands or genitals as standard. My choice. If anyone wants to bitch they can go elsewhere because guess what, artists are not machines and are allowed to have some agency over who and what they tattoo. Just as I don’t need to tattoo a swastika and white power slogans on…

Not to mention that the work that she included is on the bodies of other people who didn’t ask to be dragged into this and publicly mocked.

Yeah, as a heavily tattooed woman I agree. I’ve had most artists make recommendations about placement and style to me. In fact, I’ve had sort of the anti-Dan experience (with a guy who also refuses to do hand and neck tattoos on people who aren’t already covered in tats, btw—it’s seriously a common policy) where my…

People don’t seem to get the give-and-take that comes with tattoo artists and clients. You can get exactly what you want...but it’s still their work. Their art, part of their repertoire! They have every right to refuse a job, just like as a photographer I have every right to refuse a job that I don’t see fit for me. I…

Most respectable tattoo artists will not do necks, hands, or faces unless you are a collector or another tattoo artist. It seems both a matter of ethics and culture in the industry, and personally I would be cautious of artists willing to break those norms.

Fuck you Beyonce you will pry my stilton cheese from my cold dead fingers.

One thing I loved about this is that they somehow managed to make a two-hour car chase into a movie about broken people remaking themselves through their choices. Everyone faces at least one — Furiosa and the slave wives made theirs before the beginning of the movie, Max makes his when he decides to help them even…

I am naming my next dog Furiosa. PERIOD.

It’s dangerous driving in a car after that movie. I just wanted to slam the floor to 130 mph and yell out “WITNESS ME!”. Not the best thing to do in a Honda Civic.

Because it’s much easier to manipulate a 12 year old than an 18 year old?
