I was tattooing on a 17-year old client. (Yes, 17.) She had a band-aid on her arm. She asks her mother to take it off of her, which she does, with a yank. The girl says “Oww!” The mother says “You’re getting a tattoo, and that hurt?”
I giggled.
Pain is both relative, and caused by relatives.
Until next time...
oooh you stole my joke !
I fell asleep during my last tattoo.. the right amount of pain and endorphine I guess.. hehe
I’ve only had two people fall asleep while I was inking them. And it freaked me out both times.
hey Erik – I dont’ have any tattoos but I love to look at them. Every tattoo has a story behind it.
I am wondering – has anyone that you have worked on been unable to take the pain, once you have started?
just wondering….

I’ve had that happen twice so far. One a male, and one a female. Neither have come back to complete their tattoos up to this point.
i frequently fall asleep when gettin’ inked.
From a tattooist’s perspective, it’s a little worrisome. One never knows if that person who fell asleep will jolt awake, say, right in the middle of a fine line….
