There are a few things you should know (compliments of Augie)….

1.     A “tat” can be drawn in 5 minutes. Real artwork takes time.

2.     Creative designs rarely come flying out of my ass. They require actual work. The day that happens, I'll let you know.

3.     If you didn’t take care of your tattoo, it doesn’t mean that I screwed up. You did.

4.     No, I cannot cover your tribal armband with a tiny daisy.

5.     A good tattoo isn’t cheap. I’m sorry if you can’t afford it. Maybe you shouldn't have bought the new smart phone.

6.     Go ask my landlord if he'll give me a discount this month and if he says yes, then I’ll be happy to give you the “hook up.”

7.     Yes, tattoos do hurt. Did you expect to a massage when you sat down? Suck it up buttercup and hold still!!

8.     You came to me because I’m good at what I do and I take pride in my work. Please listen when I give you advice. I’m only trying to make your tattoo look good.

9.     Unless you’re an experienced tattoo artist, please don’t tell me how to do my job. I knew how to do this long before you came in the door.

10.  Don’t let the third cousin of your "bro" give you a tattoo. Owning a “tattoo gun” doesn’t make them talented or skilled.

11. HEPATITIS CAN KILL YOU!!!!! Don’t be a cheap bastard….spend the extra $50.
