- The Peanut Gallery: Bringing an entourage of friends to crowd the shop its not a party.
- No-Shows and Lateness: Flaking on appointments or showing up significantly late wastes valuable earning time.
Micromanaging and Changing Designs
- Drastic Last-Minute Changes: Demanding total design overhauls on the day of the appointment nullifies hours of prior drawing time.
- Micromanaging: Telling a professional artist exactly how to do their job—especially after choosing them based on their specific portfolio—creates a stressful, uncollaborative environment.
- Copying Others: Insisting the artist replicate another artist's exact custom work is highly discouraged in the tattooing community.
In-Session Disruptions

- Excessive Pain Complaining: While getting a tattoo hurts, constantly asking the artist to stop or complaining loudly throughout the session makes the process exhausting for everyone involved.Basically your being a Bitch.Tattoo is not for you.
Common Courtesy
