I hate it when you show up for your appointment at 2:30 and the artist either doesnt have their tools ready or they arent even there yet so you have to wait. Happens a lot!!

The joys of the tattoo industry and their broken clocks

Thats nothing! I have shown up to get tatted TWICE and my guy no called and no showed and I had to take time of work both times.

A lot of the artists that are really talented are brats. They think they are doing you a favor so you should accept that they will be late and just take a break when they have something else they would like to do. Not be ready for a scheduled time is the norm for most of them.

The worst part is when they finally call you 5 hours later and claim they were sleeping and they are sorry and you gotta be cool or you aint getting sh*t

I heard that!

The best advice that I can give is to just go with the flow. Once you start demanding things is when you will get half ass work or no work at all and 86ed from the building

I'm not an artist, well ink artist, I'm a hair artist, and boy, I hate when CLIENTS are late. I have never been late for a tatt apt, and have never been stood up. But as the artist, clients show up late and no show. Artist need to be more sensitive with their clients and appts. Like really... if you make an appt, show up n give is great ink. If not, send is to someone who wants to make that money.... period!

I know my dude never can make the time he sets so I just tell him to call me when he gets there and by the time I drive over he is already set up so it works out better than me sitting there waiting all day
