Today, a woman yelled at me for hurting her. I'm a tattoo artist. FML

You should have put down the tattoo gun and just stared at her for a few minutes before saying "now, do you know what a tattoo is?"

were you pointing your tattoo gun at her? were you threatening her with offensive tattoos? were you also smiling weirdly? hmmm... my deduction skills are totally so fab and I must say, she might be on to something here.

I don't give a duck if you're a tattoo artist.

I am not a tattoo artist, can I please have the said duck? I like ducks.

if you downvote #13 you don't understand a duck. Duck your life. DYL

I want to name my duck Quackers McQuackerton the third.

Wtf. Bitch, a needle is going to pierce your skin and inject ink hundred of thousands of times in a session. Bro, do you even tattoo?

These two statements have no relation to each other.

Uhh yea they do. OP was giving the woman a tattoo when they got yelled at cause apparently the woman thought tattoos were licked on by kittens and not done with needles piercing your skin.

I would love to know where 22 got all this insider information.

#25, remember, if it's on the internet it must be true

He was implying tattoos don't feel like a gentle pinch or painless most times. Getting a tattoo on will cause minor pain and discomfort.

But OP could be using the implication as a misdirect from the actual situation, which may have nothing to do with tattoos at all. All we know about it is that OP hurt woman, who then yelled at OP.

New just in: Tattoos hurt. Back to you, Dave.

Curious where you got that idea from. I have a wonderful tattoo artist, however in certain spots my tattoos still really hurt. Some people have a really low tolerance for pain, they should be well aware before they get a tattoo that some are going to hurt.

What did you think they were licked on by kittens or that they tickled?

Did she think she wasn't going to feel anything? Depending on the area you get it on, tattoos can be incredibly painful. Either she didn't do any research or she's plain ignorant. Sorry OP. You'd think a tattoo artist job would be the one place where people knew they were going to feel pain.

Machine. It's a tattoo machine. You don't shoot someone with it, so it's not a gun. #3 and #4 please learn the facts about what you talk about before you post on the Internet. We don't need any more stupidity than there already is. Thank you.

They actually are commonly called tattoo guns, if anything you need a lesson. So grab yourself a Kleenex and cry about it, sorry I mean tissue ;)

many tattoo artists prefer it not be called a gun. so it's a machine. I think it's due to the profession already being viewed negatively.

you do realise they are called tattoo guns? it's quite ironic you would insinuate the op is stupid with a total stupidly incorrect unfactual post

Maybe she had heard getting a tattoo was painful, by then quickly realized it was way more intense than she expected
