One of the main reasons people are attracted to getting a tattoo is because they’re drawn to the idea of having ink permanently put onto their body, knowing that the tattoo is something that will forever be on them, representing whatever it is that they’ve chosen to have on their skin forever tattoo shop. If someone tattoos a name onto their body, they think at the time that the name will forever have a significance to them and that they’ll always want that name on them.
Of course, if you’re a tattoo artist, then you probably see a large number of people coming in and requesting that someone’s name be tattooed onto them. You probably also think to yourself on occasion, “Boy are they going to regret this.” Some people may have the luxury of never having to feel regret about having someone else’s name tattooed onto them, but of course, divorce is always going to be a possibility in this world, just as death is, so there’s always an inherent risk when getting a tattoo like that.
Regardless of how you feel about it as a tattoo artist though, your job is of course to basically just be the tattoo supply and to make sure that you’re giving the customer whatever they want and that you’re doing the best job of it. Even if two lovebirds are in the midst of an argument, yelling and screaming at each other as they get each other’s names tattooed onto them, you have to go about your job and create a beautiful tattoo for them, so of course, you have to make sure that you have the right tattoo supplies to do the job to the best of your ability. Regardless of the customers you’re getting and what name they’re getting put onto them forever, you’re also putting YOUR name on them in a way with your tattooing inks and tattoo supplies. Even if that person ends up regretting what they had tattooed onto them forever, you don’t want them to regret the tattoo artist that did it if you fail to have the best tattoo supplies and use tattooing inks that end up fading, bleeding together, or that don’t have rich color to them. You can help in some respect to insure that your customers have something on them that even if they don’t like what it represents, they like the look of it.
