I was genuinely surprised how long it took for someone to bring up swastikas, for the sake of my own sanity I'll assume that's because everyone thought that was a given

My Chicano homie who just woke up was the only one to say Racist tattoos are a big red flag. That should have been answer no. 1.

"Only god can judge me" I burst out laughing. So f'ing true. I was lucky enough to be tattooed by Liz Cook. Such a sweetheart!

I truly appreciate the gentleman who recognizes that tattoos can negatively impact your life and that most young minds just don’t grasp the concept of the future and having no idea where the path of life may lead.

I can confirm that ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ is a red-flag tattoo 😂 a person I dated briefly had that tattooed across his chest, and it definitely indicated that he lived by his own rules…..not a good outcome for anyone 🤣

[hristopher]

It’s good to see reasonable people working tattoos cause he’s right especially if it’s your first tattoo responsible 5:41

I am endlessly grateful for artists who communicate rarher than just doing the tattoo they're asked of. Forever thankful that a tattoo artist convinced me to get a tat on my shoulder that's easy to hide rather than on my neck. I was 16 and my mom (who took me to get it done) didn't even pushback on that.

I worked with someone in a home care job who had Minions tattoos. She was abusive to our clients and coworkers. She got fired but I've hated those yellow little bastards ever since.

[zackfrm]

yea i lost it with the lady saying "im not gonna do that to you" on that eyebrow tatt like much respect to you no doubt😂😂😂😂

[karakask]

For me... copying the Jared Leto Joker tattoos. Especially the HaHaHa one. Red flags everywhere

[Mustlovebooks]

The biggest idiot and all around horrible person I know got “only god can judge me” while he was in prison. Got it on his neck. So yes, I agree with that one 😂

[Sandrilyonaify]

The editor guy\gal, you did it again! Pure fire!)

[artisticalex]

For me it’s Only God Can Judge Me, serial killer tattoos, name tattoos and swastikas that are a red flag for me.

[PapaRoachie]

Bruh. A swastika. … that’s a HUGE RED FLAG. Same with confederate flags. Anything like that is a HUGE red flag for me.

[The_Minotaur]

My tattoo artist refuses to do face and hand tattoos if you don't already have atleast a sleeve and even for my sleeves he didn't go past the wrist line

[xx-hyuy]

Gotta be the clock/rose/lion combination or really shittily filled in cursive script. Anything that says something like, 'Freedom Never Dies' in flowery writing is an instant no contact with that person lol

[annabethsmith-kingsley]

I was a teen I had this beautiful classmate whose first tattoo was a snake wrapping around her index finger on her hand. She said, 'this is to make sure I never work at a bank'. She literally got it to be a job-stopper.

Since its brought up. I have 2 red flags for tattoo artists that tells me im not going to do business with them.
1. They will not even attempt to give you a quote or an idea of cost after you tell them what you want done. This annoys the piss out of me. I dont want to waste your time if its outside budget and you should know now to waste my time. Its a super common problem though and its why i wont deal with some artists in general. I dont want to spend days dancing around prices. tell me how much you think it is. and we can figure it out.
2. Telling me what i want rather than expressing their view of how to do it better. iv had a few(this is fairly rare) artists go "oh well thats more filler" uh...you mean a band tattoo? why? or telling me the idea wont work without any concepts or ideas especially when im trying to work with them on ideas. If you cant do it thats fine. But dont try to change the entire thing because you just dont like the idea.

I’ve seen some fudged up tattoos like the anime toddler crying on a girls stomach so it looked like if she was engaged in man and woman things it would be harming the very child looking tattoo🤢 and like graphic P tattoo with tears on the girls face🤢 people are messed up and i can’t unsee those tattoos and those are on them forever

[ejakaegypt]

Gosh hadn’t watched this in so long
I forgot how good it is
