There are certain people you never want to mess with: your barber, the lady at the Department of Motor Vehicles, whoever is cooking your food, and your tattoo artist. 

Obviously, the lattermost example does not apply to folks who don't want to get tattoos. However, for those who do, throwing a temper tantrum at the person who is about to imprint a permanent design on your body is not the wisest idea. Thankfully, this guy didn't get that kind of petty revenge. Instead, he simply threw this male Karen customer out of his tattoo parlor before anything worse unfolded. 

Of course, the encounter did not stop there. That's because Karens will never stop trying to prove they are right despite all the evidence that they are out of line. This time, the male Karen in question took to social media to spam this tattoo artist's DM's. Luckily, the tattooist refused to back down. Keep scrolling below for the full exchange of unhinged messages. For more, check out this post about an entitled father-in-law who tried to force his son to get him a job.

    < premises last night to make a booking for my partner and myself to be tattooed. We were told that it was NOT POSSIBLE and that we would not be booked in for our CHOSEN DATE of Tuesday the first of December. My partner and I have been thinking about this tattoo for OVER A YEAR. The young man at the door was terribly with us. When I asked to speak to the manager, he told us he was THE OWNER. I find this very hard to believe, as he had a large tattoo on the side of his head. I would appreciate a

    < FRI 17:41 ... + Ah, Mr I've been expecting your message. I'm David, and I am the owner of the studio. But what is ownership anyway, and for that matter the title of manager? Are they not just man made constraints imposed by the naive and insecure, desperate to find meaning in their otherwise directionless existence? It was me you spoke to last night, so thank you for the "young man" compliment. I shall make sure my wife and daughters take note of this! You were denied entry for several reasons

    < + O 1) You tried to get in, even though the door was clearly locked. Thank you for checking the strength of the hinges. I've been meaning to do that for some time. 2) You tried to push past me as I opened the door, which was to say the least. 3) We require everyone entering the studio to wear a mask, and to do so correctly. As your nose was drooped over the top of your mask, like a hopefully peeking out a worn pair of I judged this to be incorrect...and yet slightly arousing. 4) It was 7:45 in

    I told you it was not possible to book you in for 1st December, as we are required, by law as of 6pm Friday, to close for three weeks. If you and your partner (she's clearly a lucky woman if the way you wear you mask is anything to go by) really have been thinking about these tattoos for OVER A YEAR, then might I suggest that another few weeks isn't too long? As for your comment about me not possibly being the owner as I have a tattoo on the side of my head... WHAT THE F DO YOU + EXPECT TO SEE O

    + Nicola Sturgeon seems to have her hands full at the moment. Also, Glasgow City Council will probably tell you to shove it right up your sh er...at least, they do whenever I try to contact them. Might I suggest a couple of alternatives? Carole Baskin, who's actually a friend of the studio, seems to be great at solving problems...you know what I'm taking about. John Kreese is a man of authority, although telling Johnny to "Sweep the Leg" was probably excessive. I think you'll like his "No Mercy"

    If you really are considering 'grassing me up' then the best thing to do is to tell my mum - she's the slightly haunted and disappointed woman you can see wandering around, muttering sadly about her son with the tattoo on the side of his head. FRI 20:31 I am not having this at all. What a disgusting way to speak to people, I can't imagine you'll be in business much longer. My partner and I will be taking our custom elsewhere. + O Eh, sorry. This isn't how this works, you're clearly new to our pa

    Eh, sorry. This isn't how this works, you're clearly new to our page. What happens is, you send me as message, and I put you in your place, at times being mildly funny and/or amusing. Then I screenshot it, and post on the page. Sorry for any confusion, so off you SAT 11:48 + Whay sort of a way is this to conduct your business? I shall be in contact with the relevant authorities as you are CERTAINLY NOT allowed to block access to your parlour or refuse service. Although I am now sure we won't be

    < SAI 12-25 ... Is it only NOW that you're sure you won't be requiring our services?!? As licensed premises, we can refuse entry to anyone, for any reason. In other words, "It's oor baw, and yoor no playin'!" We're ALWAYS nice and courteous to people when they make enquiries, even if it's something we hear all the time. We get that not everyone is as versed in tattoo stuff as we are, and that's why we're here to help, and do awesome tattoos. In your case, however, you've been a dobber from the s

    2qSiSVeSw Who the is dumb enough to believe a business isn't allowed to refuse service, much less lock their door?! It's insane how stupid and selfish people can be.

    frollard⚫ I wonder if realizes how closely entrepreneurs communicate with one another out of respect to warn of exactly this behaviour. I wouldn't be surprised if after lockdown every parlour in a many mile radius suddenly doesn't have the time for this
