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.

I can’t stand people who think that everyone wants to hear the story behind/symbolism of their tattoos. I say this as a tattooed person.

and you are publicly shaming him because...?

She just really comes across as the Hipster wanna be tattoo girl. I hate those girls, but thats another story. Someone watched too much LA INK.

Nope, totally with Dan on this one. Took me a long time to find someone to tattoo my hands. If you want a neck tattoo so bad, Jane, instead of smearing artists who say no, just go to a parlor where gang members go. They’ll hook you up, no problem.

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…

So he refused to perform a service he was uncomfortable with—artists are allowed to turn down commissions—and you are publicly shaming him because...?

Man, how do all these people in the comments not know about Gucci Mane?!

I hate to be Team Tattoo Artist, but just like you can decide where you want your tattoos, he can also decide what work he’ll stand behind and what he WON’T. Clearly you have artistic differences, as evident by your contempt of his other work. So why would you use him in the first place?

Exactly. No necks and hands is a super common rule among artists, and many of them do it for personal reasons (ie. regret, whatever) and for protecting the shop (it opens up a certain amount of liability if someone claims down the line they can’t get a job because of a tattoo you did).

I understand why this was an upsetting experience, but tattoo artists refuse jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Many have a no necks, no hands policy - it’s quite common. And, as you discovered, what’s off-limits to one artist is totally okay with another - you were able to get exactly what you wanted in the…

I don’t get what you’re trying to accomplish by mocking his work?

The logic he employed is common in the tattoo world. I have had tattoo artists strongly persuade me to get one tattoo over another, placed here instead of there. I listened. Had I not, I would have kept shopping. You threw a fit and as far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with you being a woman. You’re attempt to…

um, it's called acting. You are allowed to dislike the actor for a character he plays, but you must admit it is ridiculous and irrational.

You all are really mad at Beyonce because she stumbled upon a fucking wedding? Really? Shit, she can't do anything right. I doubt that there was time to flee. She is freaking Beyonce. People noticed. It's funny. The people who encounter celebrities are always overjoyed but the people who read about it are always…

That line is utterly hilarious. It's not "I look like Ashton Kutcher." it's "Black people think I'm Ashton Kutcher." I'm sure there's some underlying racist non-logic I'm not getting, but as it stands, specifying black people in this situation is so nonsensical it's making my sides hurt.

This guy is going to kill someone someday. Heaven help anyone in front of him in line who gets the last cookie or movie ticket.

After my son was born, the doctor asked if I wanted to see the placenta. I replied, "that's ok, but oh! Go show my husband!" So in the middle of watching his son's first minutes of life, he had to pause to look at this gross meaty blob while the doctor pointed out all the big veins and their functions. Heh.

Lol, I was surprised when I read it but then
