I agree. What would give a semi-famous tattoo artist the idea that he knows enough about tattoo culture to advise someone?

Your article showcases that you are a spoiled brat masquerading as a journalist. No tattooist is required to do work on a client. To search for photos to mock work the person has done is about as juvenile as you can get. As a tattooed woman and feminist, I would suggest that you not take the flag of feminism and wrap…

You lost all credibility with “tat,” you dingus.

Hmmm. Seems like he respected her enough not to go forward with the tattoo. Not doing it cost him a potential client - I’m sure the decision wasn’t made rashly by the artist.

Refusing to do neck tattoos on non-heavily tattooed people is very, very common in the tattooing world. It's his right not to perform…

Yeah really what does Dan know its not like he tattoos for a living or is some kind of professional. You know better though. you are not dumb at all.
