But, ah, I just want to slap some sense into the 2 girls getting tattooed right now.

Ok, I work at a tattoo shop at night. I set up and clean stations, get the all the inks ready, help sell tattoos and piercings. But tonight I just had to walk away from the counter. We see SOOOO many weird things come through. But why oh why would one of these girls get "Property of TimeBomb" and the other girl get "Flavor of the Week" on their lower backs. Ugh, I just don't get it!! Well I get it, but come on.

Oh well, nothing I can do. It's not my "job" to talk people out of ridiculous stuff. If it weren't for lame brain people I wouldn't have a job. Well a second job anyway, lol.

yes, "Tramp Stamps." still in demand.

I wouldn't be questioning the girls as much as the tattooer. I know a couple guys who refuse things like that, They see the body a canvas, and the tattoo represents them as the artist. They would never want them or their business represented that way.

Course I don't speak for every person who does tattoo's, most just dont care and see it as an easy buck.

at first, they were refusing to do tattoo's like this when i first started working here years ago. but SO many people come here asking for stupid work like this, they just started charging crazy amounts. they want to do good work, stuff they are in this business for. but when you get people like this who are adamant about getting stupid stuff, you gotta do what you gotta do i guess.

There's nothing wrong with a tattoo on the lower back. It's just a matter of WHAT you put there. Some dude's name is a BAD idea. "Flavor of the Week" might be even worse.
