Whether you\u2019re a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/blog\/first-tattoo\/\">first-timer<\/a> with a carefully-planned tattoo or you\u2019re the spontaneous type, you have to know how to behave in the tattoo shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some basic rules of tattoo etiquette that some people just don\u2019t understand. It\u2019s a shame, considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/blog\/tattoo-school\/\">how hard artists work<\/a> to get the look you want and how much easier the whole process would be if customers were courteous. Understanding tattoo etiquette can make the experience of getting a tattoo a positive one, and that&#8217;s a benefit to both the customer and the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust us, you don\u2019t want to be that guy (or girl!) the next time you go into a tattoo shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a handful of bad habits that are top of the list of things tattoo artists hate.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">1. Not Showering Beforehand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going on a date, you shower. If you\u2019re headed to class for the day or a long shift at work, you shower. It\u2019s common courtesy for the people you\u2019re going to be in close quarters with, and it\u2019s good for your hygiene, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about your tattoo for a second. Whether you\u2019re getting something on your forearm, thigh, or ribs, you don\u2019t want to sit in a chair with bad body odor. It\u2019s not a good look for you, and it\u2019s going to annoy the artist more than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">2. Micromanaging the Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most artists can deal with a so-so smell, especially if they live in a particularly hot, humid area or if they can tell you\u2019ve just gotten off work. What all artists absolutely hate, though, is being micromanaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one cares if you\u2019re a painter, a graphic designer, or just a stickler for accuracy and detail. When you choose a tattoo artist, you\u2019re telling them you trust them. Then, when you start micromanaging, you\u2019re saying you\u2019re not so sure anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give them some common courtesy. You don\u2019t tell a doctor how to diagnose you or a lawyer how to present your case. Tattoo artists are professionals, too, and they deserve the same level of respect.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-bodyart.imgix.net\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1_tattoo-artist.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/1_tattoo-artist.jpg\" alt=\"tattoo shop\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">3. Comparing an Artist\u2019s Work to Someone Else\u2019s<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, people disrespect a tattoo artist without even meaning to. They sit there and talk about the tattoos they already have or the work they\u2019ve seen on other people for hours on end. Even worse, they start comparing what the tattoo artist is doing to what others have done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be this person. Every artist has their own work process and their own style. This is something you should familiarize yourself with before&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/features\/online-booking\/\">you book them<\/a>, then appreciate as they work.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inkbooktattoosoftware.com\/free-trial\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">4. Negotiating or Criticizing the Tattoo Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is at the top of the absolute worst tattoo shop etiquette. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/blog\/tattoo-prices\/\">Don\u2019t negotiate the price<\/a>. Tattoo artists will always quote you beforehand based on their time and the size of the tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They want to make sure they get the design just right, so it\u2019s better to pay for an extra half hour or so than to walk out with something that looks rushed and sub-par. It\u2019s not a good look for you or for them, and it definitely doesn\u2019t say anything good about you when you try to undercut the price.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-bodyart.imgix.net\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tipping-tattoo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/tipping-tattoo.jpg\" alt=\"tattoo shop\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">5. Acting Like a Know-It-All<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you know a bit about tattoos already, and you have a few to show for yourself. Whoop-dee-doo. No one cares if you\u2019re finishing your second sleeve or getting a first-time tattoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, they do. Artists are excited to work on their clients, but not to the point that they\u2019ll let them boss them around or undermine their work. Sit in the chair and let the artist do their thing without trying to get street cred for how much you know (or think you know).<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">6. Bringing a Bunch of Friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of street cred, don\u2019t bring all the friends you have into the shop with you. It\u2019s one thing to get matching tattoos with one or two people or to have a few friends join you. It\u2019s another to crowd the artist\u2019s space with five or six people gathered around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The less company you bring, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">7. Asking an Artist to Copy Someone\u2019s Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one thing to compare and another to ask for a copy. Never, ever ask an artist to copy someone else\u2019s work. It\u2019s not fair to the original artist and it\u2019s a shot at the person who\u2019s about to tattoo you, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there happens to be a piece that inspires you, work with the artist to put your own spin on it. They can redesign the look to fit your expectations without being a copy or you can put your heads together to collaborate on a fresh design.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-bodyart.imgix.net\/uploads\/2021\/08\/tattoo-work.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/tattoo-work.jpg\" alt=\"tattoo shop\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">8. Walking in Wasted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you walk in to a tattoo shop alone or with just one person if you\u2019re drunk. No tattoo shop is going to let you get a tattoo&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/articles\/188258-heres-why-you-shouldnt-get-a-tattoo-while-youre-drunk-according-to-the-experts\">while under the influence<\/a>, appointment or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not good for you and it can really hurt the quality of their brand. Save the drinking for after your tattoo appointment if you really feel like getting a buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">9. Taking a Smoke Break Every 10 Minutes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What if your drug of choice is just a cigarette? That can\u2019t be too bad, right? It\u2019s fine if you walk in after just having had a smoke or if you\u2019re going to be in the chair for hours and need a break or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, taking a break every 10 or 15 minutes is going too far. This really cuts into the artist\u2019s time and it gets old very fast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daysmart-bodyart.imgix.net\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cigaretta-tattoo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/09\/cigaretta-tattoo.jpg\" alt=\"tattoo shop\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">10. Skipping the Tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although an artist is quoting you for their time and their work, it\u2019s good tattoo etiquette to give them a little extra for their results. This goes for large, colored tattoos and small, minimal ones alike. It doesn\u2019t matter what you\u2019re getting, you have to leave a tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of this beforehand and make sure you bring enough cash or be prepared to add it onto your card. Also, give a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/blog\/tip-tattoo-artists\/\">fair tip<\/a> \u2013 something between 20-25% will do.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-3-bigger-font-size\">11. Standing Up an Artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another of the worst things you can do, right up there with negotiating the price. If a tattoo artist is taking time out of their day to squeeze you in and give you what you want, show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you\u2019re wasting their time and hindering the amount of money they can make that day. It\u2019s not cool, and it gets you started on the wrong foot when you have to actually show up and face them after standing them up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/packages\/?utm_source=daysmart&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_term=image-link&amp;utm_content=blog-cta-packages-bodyart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"847\" height=\"214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/BODYART-CTA-2024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1427\" style=\"width:643px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/BODYART-CTA-2024.png 847w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/BODYART-CTA-2024-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/www.daysmart.com\/bodyart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/BODYART-CTA-2024-768x194.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 847px) 100vw, 847px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:5px\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-h-2-smaller-font-size\">The #1 Rule of Tattoo Shop Etiquette<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s good to know all the things that can annoy tattoo artists, especially if you\u2019re about to get your first one and don\u2019t know what to expect. But, it\u2019s also nice to brush up on tattoo etiquette before you go to a new artist or shop, since everyone does things a bit differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about DaySmart Tattoo Software <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inkbooktattoosoftware.com\">click here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><div class=\"d-none d-lg-block\" style=\"height:35px\"><\/div><div class=\"d-lg-none\" style=\"height:17.5px\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a tattoo is something most people think about for months, while others walk into a tattoo shop on a &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":308,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do&#039;s and Dont&#039;s of Tattoo Shop Etiquette-DaySmart BodyArt<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The last thing you want to do is piss off the person giving you a tattoo in their tattoo shop.
