Tattoo Artists Are Sharing Their Most Entitled Customers, And I Can't Believe These Kinds Of People Exist

"It's so pathetic how you charge people."

1. This "client" who thought playing the "single mom" card was enough to her a deal:

2. This person who really thought their ignorance entitled them to an "inconvenience fee":

3. All of the whiners who prompted this poor artist to post a PSA:

4. This master negotiator who haggled their way into an even higher price:

5. This clown who tried to flirt their way into some free ink:

6. This Facebook "friend" who wanted a free tattoo AND a ride:

7. This person who apparently thinks it's "conceited" to charge for your work:

"your art is mediocre at best so please design me a free tattoo" from ChoosingBeggars

8. This fine sir who demanded a refund for his tattoo AFTER getting it, because he decided it cost too much:

Client got a small simple tattoo on his wrist and he was very happy with it. Few days later he's frantically emailing and calling the shop when it's shut, requests a touch-up and insists he was overcharged, and wants to speak to the manager. More context in the comments from ChoosingBeggars

9. This bestie who wanted to pick the matching tattoos, but not pick up the bill:

“Hey let’s get matching tattoos, but I get to pick them and you have to pay for both” from ChoosingBeggars

10. This "client" who genuinely doesn't understand how the exchange of labor and goods works:

I’m willing to let anyone tattoo me for the small price of it being free. from ChoosingBeggars

12. This freeloader who got snippy the moment someone suggested she at least tip her artist:

A tattoo artist at the shop I work for has been working on a sleeve for an acquaintance of his, not even charging her, and she asked to come in today to get more done. He was booked for the day and she copped an attitude over him not clearing his schedule for her. from ChoosingBeggars

13. This delusional being who basically said, "Come to my house so I can exploit you for free":

15. This gem who had such a "sick" idea for a tattoo, they didn't want to actually pay for it:

16. And finally, this entitled jerk who actually thinks charging people for your work is "pathetic."
