    Karen Demands A Tattoo S I was getting the next part of my full sleeve tattoo just a bit ago, I literally just got home from my appointment. This is going to be a relatively small post. My appointment was for 1-5pm. When I had 1.5 hours left on my appointment one of the other artists came over our station and said a client was here for my artist. My artist did have another

    appointment at 5pm. At first he thought his next appointment came early. We were wrong! A wild Karen had appeared! She demanded that my artist tattoo her right now, as a walk in appointment. Apparently he had tattooed her in the past and would only accept my artist. My artist told her that he was busy with an appointment and he had a 2nd one immediately after me.

    She got really mad and called her husband then thrust the phone in my tattoo artist's face. Husband yelled at my artist for a few minutes then Karen took the phone back and disappeared back into the wild.

    Tldr: Karen showed up in the middle of my tattoo appointment to demand my tattoo artist stop tattooing me so that he could tattoo her. Got mad when told no and had her husband yell at my tattoo artist.

    Who_Your_Mom... Wow. To demand a tattoo from an artist I'd just had my husband yell at over the phone... What kind of tattoo did she think she'd get out of this artist. I don't personally work well under threats or duress, myself. ljs-

    to wait a bit, but he just kept arguing. I eventually had to deflect by sending him off to class, but he was pretty demanding for a 4year old!

    Neither_Complai... Ooooooohhhh this sounds like it could have gone very differently if your artist was a little more vindictive. They could have said "oh yeah? You want me to drop everything and tattoo you? Suuuuuure, sit right down here Miss Karen" winks at you

    mykindofexcelle... Demanding a tattoo from an artist rudely? That's not very wise to off someone who'll be putting something as permanent as a tattoo on your body.
