- What's the weirdest trade you've ever made? I once had this beat to hell Monte Carlo that couldn't start, so I put an ad on Craigslist and said I'd be selling it for $500 or the most interesting trade. The offers I got were outstanding. A N64, a case of Jack Daniels, Cubs tickets... but in the end someone offered straight cash and since you can't pay for rent with whiskey I made the deal. I still regret it. Tattoo artists have been known to trade their art for stuff, so we wanted to know what the most interesting trade they ever made was.
Welcome to Season 21 of Tattoo Artists React! I bet you didn’t think we’d make it this far, did you? We certainly didn’t. This time around we’ve gathered a bunch of our favorite tattooers and asked them a bunch of questions… you know, like we’ve done every other season. But that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a ton of fun! Like, you’ve probably eaten french fries 10,000 times but when you see them on the menu you still order them. I’m rambling. No one reads this part of the description anyways, do they? If you are still reading this please comment “Gritty is my spirit animal” down below. Enjoy.

What's the most ridiculous trade you've ever made?
I've traded over $100 worth of custom jewelry I made to some kids for some vinyl print stickers to iron onto t-shirts that was probably not even worth $20.
New backyard deck for a nice tattoo of a moose holding a ak47 smoking a cigar with sunglasses
Weed for shoes
''Happy Birthday Joe'' on his best friends butt cheek
my virginity for herpes. gimme my damn v card back
Whoever edited this definitely watches UNHhhh
Some of the artists must be fans too since some of them knew who Katya was a few videos back and I love that!👌
😂 so glad I’m not the only one that noticed this
We been saying this for months the edits get better and better
Totally!!
I'm a Coffee Roaster / Barista and I used to trade coffee drinks / Coffee Beans / Cookies / Pastries....anything we sold in the Cafe, for tattoo sessions. Artist would come in grab his stuff for "free" (on a tab) I would pay off that tab in small increments and keep track of how much we were at. When it got to the $300-$400 mark, we would book a session and get it done. It was nice being able to pay small amounts over time rather than a lump sum all at once. felt a bit easier to budget. got 2-3 tattoos this way :)
Neither of us saved any money doing it this way really. But was fun while it lasted.
My artist once offered me a large tattoo in exchange for assembling his new tattoo supply storage unit. The thing was huge and hundreds of pieces so it was a fair trade in terms of time spent working.
I teach English as a second language abroad. My tattoo artist wanted to have classes in exchange for a tattoo. We worked out the nitty gritty and he gave me the tattoo (two photorealism cherries over my ankle.) Then he never came to any of the English classes. So basically I got a tattoo for free.
I used to be a hair stylist, and I traded a haircut for a Dyson vacuum once. I was pretty proud 😊
That's a crazy trade. Thats like 50 dollar hair cut vs a 400 dollar vacuum
That's a great profit margin right there
I'dont think you're a tattoo artists looking/based on your UA-cam channel and your UA-cam channel/account profile photo lol
My artist accepted 9mm ammunition for a while
Bro this is a woke space your not allowed to talk about pew pews here. They finna cancel you for this comment watch.
@@I_Scorched_You tell me you’ve never heard of the black panther party without telling me you’ve never heard of the black panther party 😂 you can own a gun (or 12) and still believe in basic human rights
@@mixedviews3536 I've heard of the black panthers hawmie. I have nothing against gun laws either lol quit being so presumptuous.
@@mixedviews3536 I was just letting op know that the inked channel is HYPER woke and will probably delete his comment for even mentioning pew pews
I'm currently trading hand made leather goods for a full sleeve. I've made a plague doctor mask and hat, and a big leather bag so far.
Man I can't believe I've just been trading money for tattoos this whole time. Like a fool.
As a tattoo artist I can’t even count the amount of things I’ve traded for tattoos. I especially love trading with fellow artists and also for Disneyland tickets. Cause I’m a nerd 🐭 ❤
I was suppose to trade someone tattoos to work on my 61 Chevy but that fell through. I’m a traditional artist in LA if any mechanics are reading this 😂
How do you propose a trade with an artist?
I love doing trades with tattoo artists! I'm a potter and I've traded ceramics for 4 or 5 of my tattoos.
I’m an electrician and my brother in law is a tattoo artist. We have traded our skills multiple times. I can definitely see someone feeling screwed over, but I have always been happy with our trades.
I traded a half off groom for my artist’s pup for half off my tat she’s a wonderful lady indeed! Such a chill vibe!
The vast majority of my tattoos I didn't pay for them. They were trade for my services as a professional private Chef. Since the hourly rate is similar and everybody like to eat it's an easy trade 😎.
My chiropractor is into plants specifically orchids so i drew him up a bicep piece just for fun, guy then goes and gets it tattooed AND gave me free adjustments for afew months
i traded my artist for a limited edition snowboard with bindings..... i think it was a trade skewed towards him but sooo worth it. the board was about the same cost wise as the tattoo woulda been and he got a massive tip
I won a tattoo at a silent auction charity event. So dude did a tattoo for charity and I have a super nice tattoo ✌🏻
An artist I have met learned that I collect vintage and antiques he said he will trade as many tattoos as I can find antique doorbells and alarms. I’m still on the hunt.
1:20 lol, please do an interview with the person that edits these vids. This is incredible work
That part had me rolling!! 🤣
These videos are fun but I really miss seeing a close up of actual tattoos in these videos :/
I'd like to see more vids of them reacting to tattoos (great or bad) and fellow artists etc
Damn, I'd love to do a trade. I should start befriending more tattoo artists bc there's no way I'd propose that to a total stranger lol I'd be so nervous
Why not ask, honestly? If you have a unique service, unique item or item that's worth more than the price of the tattoo you might as well give it a go. The worse thats gonna happen is they say no lol. As an artist I get tips in all sorts of ways.... Weed, dog or cat supplies, food, etc. But if someone wanted to barter and is something I'm interested in I'd totally go for it
I always knew this was a thing but I didn't realize how common it was... the most valuable skill I have is dog training, I wonder if anyone would trade training sessions for a tattoo 😅
Car repair and a tattoo are unequal trades in that you need to have your car running, but you don't need a tattoo.
The monetary value being reversed kinda makes the trade more even. Higher cost unnecessary item ≃ lower cost necessary item.
But in reality, all that matters is that both parties are cool with the trade
Cars cost a lot of money to repair though. Easily adds up to over a grand fast small problems anymore
I wanted to know more about the car 😂
Me too!!
I’ve been plumbing for 25 years and I would definitely trade plumbing for tattoos
"If you "deduce" my work to a hobby".... I deduce that he needs a dictionary
Damn, trading tats for weed? I work for a THC oil producer, hit me up! LOL
Wow.....u guys are cool
My soul for a full body tattoo
Trading is how Markets started though. We just evolved to using currency. It’s like a contract negotiate before you agree.
7:24 he meant 'reduce' not 'deduce', if you were wondering.
I hand carved a wooden staff with a burl on the head. Spent 30ish hours working on it for my thigh piece.
You know the story of the guy that started trading with a paper clip and ended with a house? I'll make it my quest to trade some small nonsense to a tattoo.
This a party game my friend played once. You start with a balloon, and you split into teams of 2, then you all go opposite ways in the neighborhood. The rule is that you must accept all trades.
The winners of the game my friend played had 2 $400 tvs
I've done a lot of "EEEEHHHHHHH!" tattoos for drugs back in my youth. Now that I'm grown I put that trashy tattoo skills, and the drug away an started this jewelry business. But I love that flip shades just said "drugs.......all the drugs.........u name it I've tattooed for it."
I ran a barbershop, in collaboration with a tattoo studio, and they would get free haircuts, and I would get free tattoos, the money didn't match up but as a collaborative group we were happy to exchange each other's services.. I think across the 2 years I had the shop I would have gotten close to 5k in tattoo off of all the artists there
Money doesn’t last forever either
I'd love to trade massage for tattoos! I'm just not bold enough to ask an artist to trade lol
here's hoping someone takes you up on the offer of message for tattoo.
I am a tattoo artist and I had someone tell me they did massage and I said let’s trade and they never hit me up! I’m in LA if you are 😂
I can bring a Klondike bar for a tattoo
Really curious if trading for tattoos is an American thing only? I live in Germany and could never ever see an artist agreeing to tattooing for stuff or services, unless you're super close or best friends with them
I feel like it’s more for beginner artists. After you’re established they usually only take money
@@Inevitably_Invisible And your friends!
I traded tattoos for a massage, haircuts, sneakers, art classes, the trade is almost always in favour of the tattooer cause lets be honest, an avrege tattoo costs us around 10-20$, so unless youre a fully booked waiting list artist and youre giving up a paying client for the trade, youll probebly always win the trades :)
I traded a tape deck from a car for a tattoo. Yes it was that long ago. I gave the guy the tape deck. He gave me 60 dollars. I gave him the 60 dollar back, he gave me a tattoo.
I’m trading a couple custom oil pet portraits with my tattoo artist
editors can you please edit pony twerking into things forever XD pls & ty
Jared idk why he reminds me of Jimmy from Ed Edd & Eddy
I traded an 🎱 for a tattoo
Really? You didn't have to trade the entire set of billiard balls? Crazy...
@inked Totally underrated comment right there. Good job!
Isn’t buying a tattoo with money technically trading?
bartering>>>
Best trade: Tattoo in exchange for money
Shades guy should trade someone for a better personality
Is it just me or do they edit more and more like unhhh a little more each video?? I love it but definitely has Trixie and Katya vibes going on here lol
I got weed from the guy that did my last tattoo but I did pay alot for the tattoo but I gave him free range on my design
??? Money is temporary aswell
Gritty is my spirit animal
"ALL the drugs"
I got a motorcycle for getting someone to the max rank in modern warfare in a week and a half
My artist asked me to help them get a BTS hoodie when i went to their show last year and they just let me trade it for small tattoo i needed redone LOL
Lego sets?
I agree, just don’t trade! 😅
Yeah, but where's the fun in that?
It's a shame for what it was. Cant believe what money would drive you too do....😶😔
I'm 6 seconds into the video, I hope the skeleton dude is Paul Booth....I really hope it is.
You can rip people off for cash just as easily as you can on trade. If anything trades force people to consider the real value of something more
I just traded my artist for $1100 worth of my taxidermy work 😂
I’ve traded Pokémon cards for tattoos before
Idk, car jobs can be really expensive. It can cost over $1000 for certain parts. Not necessarily cheaper than a tattoo.
Hunting trip
I'm actually looking to trade for another motorcycle. I traded for hours with a dog trainer, I trade a lot of tattoos with other tattooers.
As a hair dresser I really hope one day I can trade for a tattoo lol
You in North East England? 🤞😂
The hair instructor at the local beauty school I go to gwt my hair done is covered in tattoos. I once asked and he trades doing make up for wedding with this tatto artist cut ans color for the tattoo artist wife etc.
I see both sides of this. The best is always paying for it. But I would also love to trade my photography services for a sick tattoo. I live in america and saving money is hard. And I would love to get all my pieces by the time I am 32(27 now). I want at least a full backpiece and I like hyporealism. That's an investment. So if any of yall are good at black and gray hyperrealistic animals and want to trade for as much camerawork as you think is fair, I'm down.
Alleged off the record medical services from an alleged PA student too broke to finish their sleeve. Out of socal/LA area. Allegedly. 😒
Title: OG's vs new school.

I traded a hand forged knife 🔪 I made for a hand tattoo ❤
I got a blacksmith tattoo of a anvil with crossed hammer and tongs that says strike while it’s hot under it
Car work for tattoo bro you got a good deal 😂
How awkward is this to ask an artist? I never knew people did this!
Just traded for Disneyland tickets you’re a nut if you think I’ll pay any $ for those 😂 some people have easier access to certain things other than money
My artist gave me a discount on my tattoo to the equal value of a necklace pendant I made. So she knocked off how much she would have paid off my payment total.
I trade tattoos with my tattoo teacher
Your tattoo teacher? Lol
I can grow you weed plants and brew 5 gallon batches of beer
I'm a pastry chef, so I've traded baked goods for tattoos
A samurai sword is fucking sick. Totally worth it no matter the cost of a tattoo.
I would trade electrical work for a tattoo. Don't fuck with the electrical and it will last a lifetime
A human skull and right forearm/hand from an anatomical skeleton for tattoo hours.
I would love if a client offered to pay me in acid
