Tattoos Ideas So Horrid We Refused To Do Them | Tattoo Artists React
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Not every tattoo idea is a winner. Frankly, some of them are downright repugnant. We asked our panel of artists what types of tattoos they’ve had to refuse in the past. Some clients have wild ideas, some have concepts that no tattooer could ever possibly bring to life and come clients have ideas that are beyond disgusting.
At this rate, we’re pumping out seasons of Tattoo Artists React faster than those “Now This Is What I Call Music'' psychopaths. This time around, we’ve brought back some of your favorite characters to share their ridiculous stories, per your requests. We also had the chance to sit down with some folks for the very first time. This season you’ll watch us tackle the big questions, tell some silly tales and react to this thing the kids seem to love called TikTok.
Thanks for watching!

A question for all you tattooers out there. What’s the worst idea a client has ever approached you with?
Eyes on the hip bones. Cool... until she's nude. 😱 Do I need to give a more clear mental image? I don't think you want that. Let's just say... she's a rather lippy one. And that's TOTALLY fine! But just think... What creature/character comes to mind?
Okay. It's Zoidberg.
I'm sorry.
A mermaid with EKG lines (she supplied 2 of them for me to combine) that went through the body and turned in to specific song notations on the tail and the hair of the mermaid had to be colored and realistic just like the clients while the rest of the mermaid she wanted it in black and gray. The mermaids hands where supposed to turn in to bonsai branches and then turn in to an obscure symbol that turned in to her, her husbans and her kids initials. OH and she wanted it to be super tiny.
@@AysegulSinav lol.
Aysegul Sinav ugh that sounds insufferable
Not a tattooer but saw a couple get Bill and Hillary Clinton as couples tattoos. She got Bill, he got Hillary. Seemed strange given the context of the Clinton's relationship...
“The ‘I hate my mom’ tattoo... I just told him to come back later” LMAO
You gotta give context for that, did she only play hide and seek to hit you and then left you with an abusive family or does she care about you deeply but you think she is AnNoYiNg.
@@t3al432 that’s true, in the first case a tattoo like that would definitely be warranted!
@@t3al432 thats what i thought lmfao like if she was abusive

@@t3al432 i do think anyone who has experienced the first one wouldn't want to have a permanent tattoo that would remind them to that bad memory. Most likely the latter but who knows

I saw you on cut comment section 😭
lyn !! hahaha i love this
toally vibe with the artist saying if she can't envision the client's concept, then it's not meant to be.
She's a real one.
I rather my artist just say, "hey, animals aren't my thing." I'd hate for my artist dreading doing my tattoo while I'm there all excited and happy. That'd be a vibe killer.
Yeah I dont get her either. She didn't have to book them. Just be straight up and refuse to do them.
@@ogie86 Well to me that’s the same thing as the guy that doesn’t want to do the guys wife’s face. “This chick is better”... If you can’t do it just say you can’t do it. Don’t hate on the idea.
Yeah, I'm not sure why she would agree to tattoo something she doesn't even like. It would be easier to be honest. Maybe she couldn't afford to turn them away, who knows? 🤷♂️
But if you do find an artist who can, and is willing to execute, their mood shouldn't matter TOO much. After all you're paying for their art, not their approval.
And they wouldn’t put their inspiration and effort into it
@@Lights_0wt I don't care about the approval, I'd just like the person who is putting permanent art on my body and in charge of doing the job right to be in a decent mood while performing said job that I'm paying good money for. Doesn't have to be over the top fake just looking forward to creating and delivering good art. Just like they'd prefer if I showed up clean, sober, hydrated, and also not in a shitty or know it all mood. Like I said I rather them be honest and say "hey, it's not really my thing, but so and so does, good luck." There's no hard feelings or anything for being honest and straight forward.

"he prolly gets down with some swazzi's" I HOLLERED
The other dude just absolutely pissing himself made it so much better too 😂
Same lol
He said you do fit the bill lol
Big same
Love how they laughed together about that too. Lol
I asked this question to a tattoo artist in Alaska in the early '90s. He said "There was this one guy who wanted me to do the Pink Panther pushing a lawnmower across the top of his pubes. I turned that down." I still think that's hilarious.

I like when artists say what they do and what they wont tattoo on their instagrams! It’s actually so helpful when looking for artists to do specific work
You should have tattooed White Powder instead.
😂😂
lol that would be funny
"Why Shower?"
Yeah, white supremacists are usually pretty understanding people, as I'm sure you can imagine.
Alright buddy you have fun with that
The Digimon tattoo dressed in Victorian clothes in hieroglyphics style would have been so so cool
AGREED
Woulda been dope
Angemon and Angewomon
Diggy-mon
@Syn0psis 1 That doesnt really matter in her choice though. Even if she doesnt know what a digimon is, she could still look it up for reference. She just didnt feel comfortable she could do it so she said no.
“If i don't see what they want- [...] If I can't envision it [...] Then we're not the people for each other” that's such a good artistic approach. Love that
"she whispering to me telling me to do it lightly cuz they are breaking up after the session" lol 4:10
So, that girl waits for her bf to get her name done them admits to wanting to break up with him immediately 😑 bruh, shouldve dumped him before going in ffs

@@niameyers6686 well him getting a big ass tattoo and her getting one you could barely see is an issue for most people you‘d think, which is exactly why i said before that they should‘ve discussed this matters beforehand.
They are so polite and nice, they seem like very fun people to be around
Most tattoo artists are really chill and fun
Winter Solstice I know :) I just wanted to point it out :)
They are fake as for the video
Seriously, all of these people just seem so cool
They have tattoos so obviously they will murder the reporters after the interview.
I love that most tattoo artists have enough integrity to not tattoo hateful messages. I'm sure they get offered a lot of money to do them sometimes!
Super late comment is super late ... (my buddies and I are playing cards and this vid came up on "random background noise youtube" and we got "arguing"... And since yours seems to be the most recent comment about it, we're putting this here...
so many people are praising the artists for having integrity to say no to racist tattoos as it goes against their morals / beliefs / whatever.... but is it really any different than that bakery that refused to make an LGBTQ+ cake and everyone was freaking out because they said no?
IMO, it's the same thing, my one buddy is going on about "racist bad, lgbtq+ good"... I can't get him to get past the concept that that's not the point. "customer X walks into your business and asks for something you disagree with be created for them. You decline the service / sale due to it conflicting with your personal views." Am I talking about the tattoo shop or the bakery?
(not really expecting a reply, lol.... dude just said I wouldn't "dare compare the racist with lgbtq+"... he still doesn't get the point)
@@jasonmoore710 the thing is, the lgtb couple at the cake shop wasn’t hurting anyone, it’s a cake dude, it wasn’t promoting genocide or hate. If someone wants a swastika tattooed on them, that’s hate, that’s real. Millions of people died and it’s such a bad message. Same with racism or whatever other hate. It’s a different thing entirely. My comment is not the most eloquent way of saying this but I wanted to reply anyway. It’s good to ask questions and debate.
@@salmahahmed4672 While I do see your point, I also disagree with it.... mainly because I know a lot of "racist" people (full on swastika on the neck tattoos kind of racist), and in all honest, they DON'T "hate" not white folks... they hate the double standard society has about the topic, and I kinda agree with them. NAACP is a thing... is there a whites only college fund? Affirmative action was / is a thing... what would happen if a company posted job ads for "white men only"? When is white history month? When is the cis pride month?
@@jasonmoore710 once again because of history, you ask why isn’t there ‘white men only’ ads for jobs. There WAS, for a long time. all these things you’re mentioning were real. Jews and dogs not allowed posts on hotels. I’m South African and people of colour only got rights in 94. My mother was 18 when she got human rights. This stuff was REAL not too long ago. so there needs to be equitable treatment instead of strictly equal treatment.
Also the swastika tattoo thing is so unnecessary. This is my purely personal opinion but it’s just so dumb.
When pony said in that beginning segment he doesn’t do any racist shit my first thought was “Ye but he does kinda look like a skinhead” and then he brought it up himself lmao.
That's as closed minded as saying people with tatts are bad people... Yet its known priests have raped kids, don't judge by looks
That awkward moment when skinheads were originally anti-racist and then nazis commandeered the style from the punk community...
@@abandy964 I really wish more people knew the origins of skinheads and that they had nothing to do with neo-nazism.
@@sloth2534 yeah, a lot of SHARPs today are trying to change that attitude but people have one image imposed on an entire group, as per usual
@@abandy964 i think it sucks that the nazis changed the meaning of a lot of things. it’s like the same with the swastika. it used to be a positive symbol in many religions, including hinduism but that meaning was destroyed when it was used to represent the group. same way it was done to skinheads. but once somethings meaning has corrupted it’s very hard to get the public to accept the true meaning :/
The chick like ‘I don’t do people, I don’t do animals’ had me in stitches 😂 ‘...I don’t do colour, I don’t use ink, I don’t like tattoos. Leave my shop.’
😂😂😂😭
😂💀
IKR
Omg I thought the exact same thing 🤣
I mean that's valid, a lot of tattoo artists only work with inanimate objects, symbols, lettering, etc.
“After I beat ya ass....” I felt that in my soul. 😂
I asked a tattoo artist what the worst tattoo idea they’ve ever heard. They said “a woman came up wanting their groin tattooed with FAKE HAIR. they shaved down there and then wanted to tattoo fake pubic hair.”
They ended up refusing to do it because the woman hadn’t shaved very well and their groin was very irritated and had the potential for infection.
but like why not just wait for it to grow back? was it lasered? and then she won't ever be able to really change it up, you know? lmao I have so many questions
@@Madeeha_shinkoko People are just too f**king "creative" sometimes . . . very imaginative tho ig
@@Madeeha_shinkoko I have questions too!
Imagine if she just walked in and she hadn’t shaved, expecting to have it shaved there😂

He probably get down with some swastikas that shit had me dying 😂😭😭😭
I have been giggling about this for the entire week.
@Emily Rotando idk but I strive to be at least 30% as cool as he😂😎
*they
Swastikas are thousands of years old symbols that mean peace or mark a place for temple or shrine.
@@HenritheHorse There's a difference between the religious swastika which faces left vs the racist version which faces right.
Edit: I figured people would get where I was going with this but I was wrong to use a very simplified explanation. To clarify there is also a big obvious position difference between the Nazi Swastika and religious one, in Hinduism the Swastika does face right but is horizontal.
My whole point was that you can differentiate between them, a religious swastika is very different from a Nazi one.
When I got my tat, the idea I'd sketched was a bit too intricate for the size, so the artist asked if he could redraw it. His design/drawing was better. I also wanted it in color. He hesitated and suggested just do shading. If I still wanted color after the shading, he'd do color. He was right. So I have a shaded greyscale image.
More Pony and Poch content please, their chemistry is too good!
Poch is hilarious 😂
Some captions would be nice too, when they speak at the same time I can’t understand a thing lol
yeeees, i laughed my ass of with them
They are the best lol
I died laughing, their chemistry is on point. 😁
This turned into: "Tattoos I thought were bad, but did them anyway"
Why do people think tattoo artists can do everything . Lol they specialize in styles and things. And I’m sure you can find out by viewing their work. That’s like going to a family practitioner for a nose job ?? LOL
The guy who said you need to find someone you trust, that's the best advice. My favourite tattoos are the ones where I gave the tattooist a super basic idea, and just said do your thing. Letting someone have full freedom with their creative ability I've always found results in far better designs than I ever had in my own mind.
I used to work as a receptionist at a tattoo shop, and the best tattoos I saw there were ones where the artist was given a large amount of creative license. Like, someone gives a few elements that they want in the piece and a general style and let the artist come up with the design.
@@terminaldeity Yeah I got my hand done recently, and I gave the artist 2 pieces of info. I wanted a lotus, and I wanted it to be feminine. The result I got was 100x better than any of the images I had came up with in my head. I think people forget that artists have their own styles, and letting them have their artistic freedom allows them to really give you the most out of their artistic ability.
Same with me! I have one artist who I trust religiously (I'm going to be heartbroken when he retires) and I always give him an idea, and he goes with it. I've come to him with direct images, but he loves to take what I suggest and run with it. And I always let him lol
I do the same with streetfood...if u specify them more it's gonna get ruined..so just tell them make it in ur best way... It's always the best
I wish I had that kind of trust. I'm sure they look great, and it must be the most fun for the artist, too. I just can't imagine having something permanently on my body without knowing what it'd look like (at least roughly) first. I only want 2 tattoos so far, and they're both very simple, meaningful designs. Nothing big or intricate. So I don't assume the artist could really "do their thing" much with that, anyways. Another comment here talks about it in relation to ordering food, they know what's good so don't ask for some big alterations. But I feel like it's different from something you'll have for the rest of your life. Everyone's different, I guess. I'm glad you like your tats, that's what matters :)
As someone who is Jewish I appreciate all the artists that declines the nazi symbol (Ik the word for it I’m just trying not to get my comment removed)
I feel ya
My family comes from Nazi Germany and I feel it’s so incredibly disrespectful to use the swastika for anything except educational purposes. People who get that shit tattooed are just the worst
@@sorryoutlandish u mean old nazi Germany right?
@@sorryoutlandish educational purposes and religious purposes- in Hindu mythology the swastika is a symbol of peace and all around Asia it is used as one, but it is usually accompanied with four dots in each of the ‘squares’ and usually faces right
Why is it even allowed in America? Can someone explain? I’m German and here it’s forbidden
@@axvara Less sensitivity here I suppose. Not a lot of acknowledgement that plenty of Americans supported the nazis in wwii. People take 'freedom of speech' very seriously here, and a lot of the time it's mostly for shock factor. Also, yknow, a lot of white supremacists here. -An American Jew
My first 3 tattoos (2 symbols and a half sleeve) were done by an artist who didn’t even specialize in the particular style I was asking for, yet he had this confidence in his own abilities and I was convinced he could perform the task. He drew up the sketches and I was sold, he was able to reimagine a concept, and paid special attention to placement, body flow, organization, and artistic design. It was to the point that the second half of my half sleeve, I gave him the ability to do something he did have a connection to, and it makes me love it that much more.
My point in sharing this is don’t run away from an opportunity. It is just that.
When people ask for racist tattoos, tattoo “I’m a racist” and keep it moving. 😌
Yes. Please. That would be helpful for the rest of us. 😂
That would get the tattooist in BIG trouble. A law suit and lots of money.
To the type of people getting stuff like that tattooed, that's not actually an insult
@@iia5559 idk man some huge ass words on their body they didn’t ask for? As we all know racists are the most reasonable and understanding people 🤔
Go on one of those mean tattoo shows
I love the evolution of color for the "super pale bald white guy" as he laughs lmao 05:39
Omg yes his face totally flushed as he laughed!!
Love the girl with the blonde braids, I appreciate when artists are able and willing to admit they aren't the right fit for the client
I love the tattoo gun sound censoring the cursing. I feel like I'm playing Operation.
I mean tbh you can’t judge them because even though it’s a job, they are paid to create art. If they are forced to tattoo something they don’t care for you’re probably gonna get something terrible on you
True,but as a chef theres shit i hate cooking but if someones paying for it,i put my all in it..thats being a professional
@@graphix6529 at the same time, you can create the menu so you chose what you want to cook and don't want to cook. is it not the same?
@@graphix6529 some artists specialize in certain things so why would they do something that they don't specialize in when they know that a client can get way better results from someone else. Like, do you specialize in every cuisine in the world? Why make someone pay you to make something that isn't going to be as good as another chef who specializes in making it, you know?
@@mayflower1108 Agree. And besides it's just valid for anyone offering a service to decline a client. Literally how the world works
@@graphix6529 yeah except youll shit out a bad meal, a tattoo is permanently on your skin
Pony and Poch together are the cutest. "If I could grow my hair I would". :D
I have tons of respect for him as a professional, but I will say that Pony is highkey cute though 🙊🙊
He’s so charming idk ☺️
He really is 😍
I'm glad to hear pretty much all of them say they wouldn't do any hate tats like swastikas, white power, etc... I was crackin up when the black guy and bald white guy were talkin bout it. He was like "if I could grow hair, I would!" Lol that whole bit was hilarious. One thing that surprised me is that a lot of them said they don't like doing animals, faces, names, or color. They just really like to stick to their specific style.
Most visual artist are like that whether its tattoos or 2D illusts, etc. Just cuz an artist can do a thing doesn't mean they'd enjoy doing it and its in the best interest of both artist and client that the artist enjoy the work they do cuz client is more likely to get a satisfactory job.
@@gargigirotra2630 It really depends on why they’re getting it. It may mean that originally, but some people are just plain disgusting and want that symbol because they associate it negatively.
I'd bet they would be fine with "brown pride" or "black power"
@@nickkerr5714 maybe, just maybe, it's because "white power" is associated with racist and white supremacists ideals that target minorities meaning that white power has a whole different meaning than black power or brown pride.

I'm heavily tattooed and can testify that tattoo artists are such divas about their work.
Its a massive procedure which is permanent, if they werent divas then your tattoos would be garbo
“Get down with some swazi’s” that was hilarious!!!😂😂
There isn't yet, but there will probably be comments like "If i'm paying the artist should go with my idea, etc etc".
Those people are the ones that aren't familiar with the concept of RESEARCH. Look up the artist's work beforehand, people. If they're refusing your idea you surely didn't do it and should have gone to a different artist from the start.
Lmao literally. I'm not gunna go to the girl who specializes in realistic flowers for an anime tattoo.
That’s just it though homie. These artists should have the honestly and pride to say they can’t do that style of work. Not every shop has their work and names just plastered everywhere. So if someone comes in to one of the only 3 tattoo places around, he doesn’t know if these guys can do what he wants. So instead of calling it stupid or dumb, just say, that’s not my style. Or I can’t do that.
Honestly goes a long way
@@nextlevelbjj3083 But that's the problem. You should NEVER go to a professional without research.
The person that goes into a random tattoo place to get tattooed (regardless of the reputation) without researching first is wrong by definition.
It's a permanent mark on your body, you should take your time to look at the person's work before you let them do it to you.
If you don't have Instagram or something, you can always go there and personally ask to see their portfolio before asking them to tattoo you.
@@nextlevelbjj3083 You can still see their work, even if their names aren’t plastered everywhere. I haven’t met an artist that doesn’t have their work online, but if someone doesn’t then you can go into the shop and ask to see it personally. Its truly not that hard.
Also I feel like people forget that the artist is associated with the tattoos they do. If they don’t want to be associated with a certain idea why would they do it
I love how the bald guy just basically said he looks like he could fit in with the KKK and the guy next to him was like yeah you right

I made a rule for myself where I never get any name tattooed, because you never know if the name is gonna change like mine did
Inked editing is just getting better. These videos were great just as information about the tattoo industry but the editing just makes it so much better
The editing gets a lot of credit but it needs even more credit, it’s so fun.
@@heysaucemikehere1804 Couldn't have said it better. Saw a ton of comments praising it but still felt like it needed more. They really could just make these videos of artists talking and they'd still be amazing videos.
Now my worst fear if I end up getting a tattoo will be the tattoo artist thinking my ideas are lame 😔
This is why you need to have a good, open conversation with the Artist before making any final plans.
As some of them said in the video, you need to trust your Artist and make sure that they are invested in it and not dreading doing.
Once you find someone who sees the vision of your ideas then you will get something amazing
Omg yes I thought I was the only one that was thinking about this
Who fucking cares what they think. As long as you like it...
Personally if they think it's shit, and you don't, that's their business, they can advise or refuse but at the end of the day it's going to be on YOUR body not theirs
One time my sister went in for a tattoo (which was dedicated to sisterhood and I haven't spoken to her in over a decade so that's a fail tattoo as well lmao) and while it was being done the artists were talking and one said "it's kinda empty today isn't it?" and the other went "just wait til all the stars off the street roll in" and they both laughed. She had two star tattoos lol.
I absolutely adore how unique all of the artists are! They're so expressive with their clothes, hair, and outfits I'm just- so inspired
Because portraits are very difficult to do and make them look respectable. Even for experienced artists, because faces have so much expression, making a smile just even slightly more curved or an eyebrow just barely more angled can COMPLETELY change the mood of he portrait
Rich Hopkins Honestly, most portrait tattoos I’ve seen look like shit, just because it’s so difficult. In many cases there’s just something off.
@@DanDanDoe exactly, I've know really good artists that just won't do portraits because they're just too difficult
They're also the only tattoos outside of names I think are generally bad ideas. Like lots of tattoos I love and loads will still look great when the person is older if they look after them properly but one wrinkle in the wrong place will ruin a portrait tatt. Plus my stepdad had one of my sister from when she was a baby and it looked like a little Asian girl so he seemed like a creep whenever he took us swimming. It's a cool tiger now, black and grey with bright blue eyes.

Bruh what the... “I don’t do, faces, or people. I don’t do animals”
Plants, still life, geometric, abstract swirly bits (does this have a title? It must)
Just to name a few other ways someone can tattoo.
I admit it sounds bad though. She should, next time, put the focus on her style lol
@@Tikachu I mean this was specifically about what you refuse to do, not your style. But she clearly says she mostly does flowers
@@broadwaybutterfly310 that was the other girl. the one that the original commenter is talking about didnt specify what tattoos she does
This is why you do research on the artists. You should be able to look into their portfolio(Instagram, picture on their website etc.). Not all artists do portraits, animals and such. If you look at their portfolio you can see what they mostly do and in what style. You can't ask from a tattoo artist to do Realism when their style is Japanese(for example). You can't ask them to paint a realistic dog when they only do abstract pieces.
I mean just like regular artists have their own art styles, so do tattoo artists. And she’s putting something permanent on someone so if she isn’t strong with faces, people, or animals it’s better that she know her strengths and not do a tattoo that’s going to end up looking like shit.
I think tattoo artists should tattoo racist tattoos
So that we all know who to avoid
You had us in the first half ngl lmao
They always end up finding someone who will. Then you can spot and avoid the asshole who got the tattoo, and if you can't avoid them, you can find out who tattooed them, and avoid that person.

As a kid a million years ago, my best friend and I got my water color pencils and a jug of water and a card table and set up a temporary tattoo stand in her neighborhood.
Within an hour we had kids walking from streets away for them. BUT also within a short time, a kid I didn't know came over and asked for a swastika on his forehead.
I was freaked out.
I said no, no way am I doing that, and I was only nine.
So your friend is right, first dude, I hope that one's a no brainer!
Btw...I still can't tell if he really wanted that, or just wanted adults to get rid of our stand. Because he argued huffed and hawed, then disappeared, and fifteen minutes later was trying to set up his own tattoo stand with markers three houses down.
Didn't matter, we continued to make a killing anyway and went to Carvel for ice cream after.
*Kids, don't do this. In retrospect, even art supplies labeled nontoxic really shouldn't be put on the skin deliberately like that!
I didn't know that at nine of course.
My son had his first open heart surgery when he was 15 days old. In an effort to feel some of the pain he must have endured I decided to get a tattoo of a heart with stitches going through it. I wanted the heart to look real, like with all 4 chambers and valves and what not... My tattoo artist said no because it would look morbid and wouldn’t be a good tribute to my son. We settled on my son’s name, heart shape and he allowed stitches on the heart. Definitely the better decision ❤️
I think ur idea would have been amazing if you found someone with the same Vision
You know what? You are so right!
My son had open heart surgery when he was 2. That heart tattoo is a good idea 🤔
I honestly don't think it was a bad idea. human anatomy isn't morbid and it means something to you, so why not. Sure, its super complicated to get all the anatomy right, but it would've been pretty cool.
Yeah, I’m thinking he didn’t understand my vision or maybe just couldn’t see it. I’m still happy with the end result but it would have been nice to see it come together with my original idea also.
The return of “Dikimon!” Love how she tells the story every time❤️
Can I know where else she told the story, please?
@@lluviasanchez6224 She mentioned it on a video called “worst tattoo ideas” published around a year ago.

"LBGT" so close. im glad he doesnt do anti LGBT tattoos tho.
yeah, i couldn’t imagine getting a tattoo solely to show my hate for the way people were born
But can you imagine getting a tattoo that says "LBGT pride"?
No regerts.
@@LuckySketches I absolutely love any reference to the classic no regerts. Thank you so much.
@@LuckySketches I would 👺
@@perfectnothing. lol you like My Hero Academia so we already know your judgement is questionable 😂
Mammals have personality and have to be harder to draw than inanimate objects.
That’s true but as an artist it’s important to have that as a skill but maybe she just doesn’t like doing realism
@@Leni_lovely She probably does more florals or has a more cartoonish tattoo style. Realism takes a different eye to accomplish
Opposite actually. Both are difficult, but mammals are organic so there’s a bit more leeway. However, inanimate solid objects like cars and stuff have to be drawn precisely, any line off that isn’t straight makes it look weird because it is a factory made mechanical object with no room for imperfections. Unless they use a ruler or something I guess lol, but precise realism for anything is incredibly difficult.
I have recently started a sleeve tattoo. The artist was very happy when we started going over what I wanted and my "must have" was simple and she had all the freedom to have fun with the rest of it!
I've heard a lot of people around their 30s say lbgt instead of lgbt, i wonder if it's an age thing. It's very nice regardless though
I think it’s just a habit thing- they just started saying it that way without really thinking about it, rolls of the tongue easier for them.
when I came out it was GLBT... it also might have been different depending on where you lived, before the internet connected the entire world
the order of the acronym changed a lot over the last 20-30 years (at least in the usa) and also different languages have different order acronyms so like I often say gltb just because that's what I'm used to from my mother language ya know? but yeah it's also an age thing in the US
Why is everyone getting so triggered by him saying LBGT instead of LGBT? Doesn't it mean the same exact thing just with two letters switched? (Don't feel attacked, I am just wondering)
@@queendiamond770 Okay first off that's a gross misuse of the word triggered. A trigger is something that relates to trauma (eg you've been in a fire and now you can't stand the smell of gasoline because it reminds you of that and you get like a panicky response), what you mean is more like why are people upset about him using a different acronym. From what I can tell most are just repeating the same joke over and over, while others are just like mildly confused. But yeah it does mean the same thing, lgbt or lgbtq or lgbtq+ are just the more common acronyms nowadays
I want a lower back tattoo of what my lower spine looks like after it was fused with all the screws and stuff. I've just got to find the right artist now. Someone who is genuinely excited to do it.
Bio-mechanical is the style you're looking for if that helps :)
Aye lmao I want to do the same thing but mines in the thoracic region
"if i could grow my hair i would" 🤣😭🤣😭 those two friends are so cute together omg
I really want to know which Digimon that dude wanted
Reminds me of the Mewtwo pokemon card with the egyptian art. I feel like it'd actually be a good tattoo
@@jasonsixx4581 If it was only Egyptian and Digimon, then it would work. But they wanted to do the whole thing in a Victorian line-work style, which is a pretty specific style with lots of detail (opposite of Digimon which is made simple for easy animation). Depending on the Digimon chosen, it could end up looking like a Eldrich horror if you do it badly.
@@christinevanzyl3106 but an eldritch horror Egyptian didigmon tattoo also sounds excellent?
I reckon agumom in an Egyptian getup would be super cute
@@tdr3471 I agree it could look cool, it wouldn’t really look like a Digimon though. Take agumon for example. The problem lies in combining all three styles to create a recognizable character. Here is an example of dinosaurs in the art style: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sydenham_studio.jpg
It’s completely different from the cartoon style. You might as well just ask for a dinosaur in a Egyptian pose, since the character won’t be recognizable anymore. Which admittedly is something I want to see now that I thought of it.
5:14 When he says “I don’t fuck with anti-lbgt stuff” - he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit
turtle: *ukk, she's rude* (slides away slowly)
I really appreciate the representation that it's not just crazy obscure tats that get turned down. A lot of times those are non problematic. It's mostly about the style and if it something the artist feels confident they can manage to not screw up. It's about chemistry between client and artist.
Sure, yes, a great artist can do multiple styles, but most will have a specialty and they also have to learn. It takes time. Everyone starts somewhere. They need to feel comfortable drawing it somewhere other than skin before they ruin yours.
Thank you!

“down with some swazzies” 💀💀💀💀💀
The editor(s) of these videos need a raise. They make the videos so dope.
Finding a artist you trust and like their work is paramount. I also hope they would be honest and say I can’t or will not so something that isn’t their expertise.
For that white power dude, I would've gotten a strong black guy to tattoo him. See if he still wanted it
This reminds me of how David "Lasercorn" Moss told his buddy they could get tattoos before his friend deployed and his friend wanted Samuel L. Jackson riding a t-rex and he wanted a unicorn with a jet pack shooting a laser out of its horn. When they showed up the artist had thought they had been joking but they both got them done in the end.
A lasercorn fan! Hi!
I’d never do anything racist, homophobic, transphobic or anything hateful if I was a tattoo artist.
Don’t care how much they’re paying me, anything hateful is a no-go.
I like how this guy finishes his sentences with “you know” every time 7:52

What i'm curious to see is the artists who have done racist/hate tattoos in the past. They were probably early on in their career and very poor and needing of money, i would think. That would be a good idea for another video
Or they were nazis xx
I think it's mostly indifference
@Kat T If someone falls on hard times and needs to do a racist tattoo to feed their family, does that really make it wrong? And hey, at least people know x person is racist now.
I feel like it's the same thing as stealing food/clothing/etc.. Not everything is so black and white, imo.
@Kat T Wow.. So you'd rather have someone starve to death then steal from a convenience store? You think it's morally ethiclly to literally let someone whose so hungry that they're at the point where'd they steal to just die?? Really? And yes, unfortunately because of the messed up justice/police system, the person whose starving would probably serve time in prison. But luckily the law doesn't define my morals.
@Kat T
Obviously, it is wrong in a legal sense, but morally if you see someone in need you should feel obliged to help them. The roles can easily be reversed and you could be in the same situation as someone who is impoverished. Smh I hate to be the black person who says, “I don’t think it’s offensive”, but it’s honestly not a huge deal. As mentioned by someone else, the general public will now know to stay away from the person with those hateful tattoos. As much as it would be nice for hate to be criminalized, it’s not wrong for someone to have those beliefs, it’s when people act on those beliefs does it make it wrong. It’s not illegal to tattoo racist ideologies, quite frankly it’s the person who wants them that has the issue.
"Better not motherf'er, we friends!" Best. Line. EVER.
“I hate to do Animals and tattoos that are meant to be like peoples cats “
*Looks at my cat tattoo that’s meant to be my cat slowly looks away *
I have a (pretty sweet, if I do say so) rabbit tattoo, but it's not meant to be any particular rabbit, which was maybe easier? Either way, I was also like "... really? Ohhhkay..."
I dont think she meant like in a rude way. She just doesnt like tatooing animals. Which is ok.
I've had an artist tell he wouldnt do a quote I wrote for my parents who passed when I was young, all because apparently it was a song lyric I've never heard. It was just a quote that I thought of and brought it in. Flat out told me I was dumb cause I didn't know the song and he wouldn't do it for me. Never went back to that shop and my friends refused to go there after that too.
I am so sorry for your loss. And that guy was an asshole! Tattoos can be really meaningful, and I hope you find a tattoo artist who will actually be decent.
@@gabbym333 I did it eventually with a street artist which I regret I did. It looks fine just wish I would have waited. I was a teenager and got it shortly after my mother passed away.
I dated a tattoo artist in college. One guy, on a lot of drugs came in demanding he tattoo an 88 on his back. So, the guy refused multiple times and then the idiot passed out in the lobby. So, 3 other tattoo artists used a sharpie permanent marker and made it look like they had tatooed his face with "I am a Racist Asshole!" Across his forehead before calling the police on him for being disorderly, trying to break the front door and then passing out.
Not sure how he felt when he woke up in jail but we were pretty sure his cellmates in NO would not care for his "announcement."

I just wish he would explain such an oddly specific tattoo to reject. Thats like saying " I dont do star wars tattoos " and just ending the convo. Insanely random and specific lol
Personally I love being able to compromise on creativity from the client and also the artist. So the client is getting what they want, but at the same time the artist is having that ability to create a piece they enjoy. At the end of the session you start building this professional relationship and it makes things easier. I always encourage clients to as questions and vice versa because everyone needs to be on the same page.
