Tattoo Red Flags 🚩

He looks like Leon Phelps

Ok it wasn't just me then....💯🥂💯

Right!

Thought I was slow

Basically don’t tattoo face and hands. Don’t tattoo yourself just to associate with the culture, but you don’t even really have them all over the body. Basically just a show off and don’t be a wanna be. Especially if it hinders your life and your career because you want to look cool.

Bullshit, by saying he can't even have a conversation with them, he's being a condescending prick. He didn't say he'd counsel them with sage advice, he just looks down his nose dismissively.

First tattoo I ever got was on the top of my hand its a trebleclef in a star. And my fingers were my first but I get what he's saying

Who cares. His job is to do tattoos. If he wants to be a life coach then he needs to change his business license. Lol all he's doing is losing money.

​@@theoneinthemiddle5553he won Ink Master and has his own business, so I think he's doing just fine with money.

@@theoneinthemiddle5553huh? He’s one of the best

It went over nobody’s head because why tf does a tattoo artist think that he can provide input on someone else’s life choices and claim that someone’s tattoo choice is a result of poor thinking that’s what tf the tattoo industry is if he chooses not to do it that’s on him but his job is to tattoo people like this ain’t dr Phil

​@@Sev7n7Sev7nyour first tattoo was a hand tat huh?

@@FailosHD nah

​@@FailosHD Def face lmao

@@FailosHDdefinitely a right above the knee tattoo.

Which is also kind of dumb, ive got one on my arm and it means alot to me, but its also a well known sign. So if other fans see it they instantly know.

Ok, so if I want my mothers name on my forehead who is he to tell me I shouldn’t get it? He’s like a drug dealer selling you drugs while telling you “hey if you haven’t smoked weed I am not going to sell you this bag of coke” like what?!

Im really glad u explainrd what he said because it was perfectly clear and understandable by anyone above the age of ten

@@marlondavis9450 I think the message was before people wanted art on their bodies, the majority could care less of it was visible. Some even preferred to hide them. Now, like you say, some people get tattoos on their forehead to try and paint an image, define themselves, or try and fill up space for the sake of it. His problem is these same people need jobs, and they are less likely to get hired because of their idiotic mindset but apparently don’t care.

Yall new ppl made tattoos corny AF

Go get a neck tattoo as your first tattoo then lol

@@jangbanger7 I did I got a big ol 13 slapped on the left side of my neck

Just the ones that are recorded and usually it’s somewhat famous artists. Most artists don’t give a shit they just love tattooing.

I dont know. Why are there so many posers?

@@who-lo-lolee-oh1079 wdym posers?

@@ComandanteTresLetrasJGLPut in the work and get heavily tattooed instead of the fake body suite that ends at your elbows or basically wherever your shirt begins to cover your body. People can do whatever they want. But it works both ways. You will be judged as what you are. A POSER.

I am a tattoo artist, i wouldn't really judge somebody with it, its their body and stuff like that. I think what he is trying to say is, "If you are not fully in this, don't have a tattoo that people will judge you with" It is really hard to find a job with a face tattoo for example. I also warn my costumers before doing a tattoo like that.

Pls this comment. 💀

Ah, you just got called out. You got a tattoo in a visible spot to look cool and try to show off how cool you are.

Probably has a tattoo on the wrist as the first one xD

You get tattoos just to get likes?

Lmfaoooo so you’re only personality trait is your visible tats?? Yeah stay mad. 🤣

THIS is what he's getting at. Even having sleeve tattoos showing 10-15 years ago were job stoppers alone depending on the job, let alone hand, neck and face tattoos. If you job doesn't care more power, just realize that job search of options isn't getting any better with those.

Jesus, we are in 2021. No one gives a shit if you have hands neck tattoos in developed and serious countries. What matters is performance and if someone filters you by tattoos the hiring manager can't be smart.

That’s not his position to be telling you what you should be having

Live in whatever world you want to. In reality it's not making it any easier.

@@leonardoparedes9823 Walk into a hospital and count how many of the staff you see with face or hand tattoos.

I have the bottom of my forearm tattooed and I want to get the top and my hand done also to make a whole sleeve and I’m going to do it like you said I understand the negative effects having a hand tattoo but I don’t want to be around people who are going to judge me for it anyways I’m not doing it to impress anybody either I’m doing it because it’s the art I want to put on my body

what do you mean to realize how i will be perceived upon first impressions and that he will not be part of life outcome for me

What was your pen name? Boys like you get passed around

Facts only thing I can say with some jobs to make more money I can’t have visible tatts and that kinda sucks but it’s ok… I’m behind the scenes anyways. Meaning like government jobs

ok but to be fair they don’t really have a lax uniform to show ink anyways

He's saying people are getting tats where they are impossible to hide for jobs or stuff and they are young.

@@jx5828 you can understand and appreciate the art and want it shown. Some tats I get idc covered or not it is for me but some ..hell ya I want it to show if it's a beautiful artwork I want to share it and show it for for myself and others to see 🤷‍♀️

@@virginiaWT4237 what he's saying is that willingly harming your job prospects with that kind of tattooing is a sacrifice that should only be made by people who understand and value the art enough to justify the sacrifice.

@@jx5828 or maybe they really appreciate the art and just want it in places where other people can see and appreciate it

😂 it’s in there employee handbook somewhere near page 4

That’s this lame culture today. You couldn’t get a job if you had tattoos in my days of growing up that’s why I work for myself as a tattoo artist and barber

It's like putting the icing before the cake. And you don't even know if that cake is gonna make you unemployable yet.

​@@filthypagan3639Your tattoos have a different meaning to ones in America

@@filthypagan3639no guy gonna tell you where you get tattooed, but they can 100% deny to tattoo you. That’s what this guy is saying.

Tattoo culture is fucking stupid, past not doing face or neck tats. If I want a small hand tattoo because I like the placement there’s nothing wrong with that.

Nah he is saying, don't buy a super expensive car as your first car, cause you will damage it

@@Hesher93 yeah but a car SALESMAN would never tell you that. He’s a tattoo salesmen supposedly so maybe he should stop with all the “culture” bs and just do his job and tat.

@@phillipd.paynephd.8170 yeah thats true

Not even close. He's saying, dont buy a drift car, if you just got your license.

@@phillipd.paynephd.8170 except when people regret their tattoos, or can't find a job because they have a face/neck/hand tattoo - they may go back on the artist. also they're not a tattoo "salesman," they're artists. they can tattoo whoever and whatever they want. some will tattoo anyone and anything, others won't.

all the more reason to get tattooed. you dont have to be in the "community" or the "culture". just get that tattoos you want and be proud of it.

Who said this dudes opinion is important anyway? I agree, just go get whatever tf you want!

Dude Just get the damn tattoo!! the whole point of them is to express yourself!!

@@DrBrownish Periodtttt 😭

It's not him gatekeeping, he's stating facts, when you get face & hand tattoos it can be very hard to find decent employment & a lot of people end up regretting getting their face/hands/neck done first. If this is what stops you from getting them then maybe you should think more about it before getting them because you will face that judgement regardless of the placement. Just make smart choices & don't be stupid about it.

ong

😂😂

When a tattoo artist put something on you they are showing their work, if they don't want their work shown in a certain way they have the right to deny you that work. Getting a tattoo is like commissioning a painting nobody has to do it for you if they don't want to tattoo you. There's a lot of liability that you're not thinking about

“Tat” 🤣🤣🤣

@@jgzaz no I'm contracting their services and I can contract another individual if need be . Tired of all these poser tattoo artist thinking we give a fuck where we go lmao

@@vegasfarmer1521 you're literally saying the same thing I just said. They don't have to tat you and you don't have to get a tattoo from anybody. go to who and where you want and an artist can do the same. Learn how to read, a commissioning is a form of a contract.

😂😂 same, I thought I was tripping.

It means what he says wtf??

He saying why would people who still have to work regular 9 to 5 jobs start with face, neck & hand tattoos first without touching any other part on your body

I mean at the end of the day it’s your body if you really want that face tattoo ain’t nobody stopping you🤙 work places need to stop judging based off appearances anyway 

@@gillianfrasher7503 All well and good but what if the employer hires a tatted person and they go to greet the customer and the customer is a more conservative member of society who is going to look at the tats and say, who the heck is this representing the company? And the company loses the contract or whatever... Visual appeal to be part of the main strain does have its appeal. Say flip this and a really good looking or lass tries to get this contract, and they get it partly on looks? They were hired partly because they had appeal to the customer base. ... it’s a lot more nuanced than just “hey accept me for who I am”. Tattoos are voluntary, physical disabilities, especially facial scarring or deformities aren’t, so the laws are very different.

Tbf, we'll both have burger in our mouths, so that's just common sense

Yeah cause anyone idiotic enough to get tattoos in LITERALLY THEE MOST VISIBLE AREAS OF THEIR BODY. Is out right ridiculous. And ONLY on those places. They don't call them warp tour bodysuits FOR NOTHING. 🤣. It's a tradition to be tattooed where it CANT BE SEEN. People that make the mistake of the former act. Are basically FAKE tough guys that think being tattooed on visible areas makes them scary and unapproachable. No it doesn't and neither does that man bun and soy latte. 🤣 Which is why tattoo artists know right from the get go any words out of that person's mouth is time and brain cells lost.

People don’t think about the long term impact of following trends so he won’t be a part of their bad decision. I’ve heard this from other tattoo artists before. Some customers don’t realize (although it should already be known) that many places will not hire them because of tattoos on their face, neck and arms. They literally make themselves unemployable just trying to be cool.

I know he full of crap.

He can barely articulate himself so I doubt he converses off his own terms anyway.

@@shai5689 nah he just understands that if your first tattoos are face neck or hand your probably kind of stupid and doesn’t want to associate with someone like that

Whats his name or social?

Exactly. Many are judging Anthony without knowing absolutely nothing about who he is as a tattoo artist and person .

Lol i'm not part of a culture, i'm just Tatted🤷‍♂

It’s usually people who don’t have a real personality and turn a hobby into their entire personality.

It’s probanly everyone just bandwagoning off of others instead of being themselves Therefore, monkey see monkey do mentality. It probably gets redundant seeing everyone be a copycat at some point especially people doing it in unbelievably inconvenient areas as visible areas but they work at a job that won’t allow them & instead of being understanding, they still go ahead with it. I used to have an ex that was a bit like that, Literally would tell her home girls “omg they got discount tattoos Fridays lets go get a tattoo” Just for the hell of it.. for what? Idk.. honestly was weird imo. Especially saying to get twins-y tattoos with someone they JUST met. A bit of a red flag is what I felt tbh.

@@razrv3lc ya, I can see that & tbh, those people are a burden around true fans of anything. You start to realize they just come off as people that do it to fit in at some point.

I don't think so. He's pointing out how others use it for attention grabbing and not because they truthfully want tattoos. It's just a fad for some people and it's not Respectful to tattoo artist

I think most of them don’t give af and sell dope.. I’ve run into a lot of cats with face tattoos and they are most definitely not financially set.

They definitely not mentally set for life

@@sp4msolo724 Getting face, hands & neck doesn't mean that someone's mentally ill, it's just them chasing a trend. It's ignorant that people always throw mental illness around when they don't agree with someone's actions which adds to the stigma. Also the way you worded that was stupid af lmaoo.

@@Z_Co95 Right. They either sling s**t & want to look hard or they're a wanna be artist lmao.

Thank you so much for this comment cuz I wasn’t fully understanding. But now you say this I fully agree. I got my first tattoo last year but ofc I had to hide it because if I didn’t, my job opportunities would be limited and I’m not in a position to be doing that to myself.

Unless you work for a super relaxed work environment or you’re your own boss, you most likely have to cover these type of tats.

I personally have a hand tattoo and what he is saying is legit. You will get looked at and judged. Especially if that’s all you have tho it looks kinda goofy

Today's culture? When the fuck did people not do that? In fact "Today's culture" is increasingly less judgy about outward appearances. Now we're just judgy about political and moral holdings.

I mean he would know if they're not visibly tatted elsewhere. Sure you might have something on your torso or legs, but if you have none on your arms, you don't know what being visibly tattooed is like or fully understand what impact it may have.

I was going to post a fucking rant but this sums up my comment

Word

​@@uzibitch1 if i'm wearing a sweater and jeans how exactly would he know where i have or don't have tattoos apart from my hands and throat?

Yeah, but tattoo artists themselves are the most fuckin judgmental people ever

my “job stopper” was called a GED. i was addicted to drugs as a kid and dropped out of high school. i dont think Google or Microsoft are taking me regardless, so why does it matter to you (or anyone else for that matter, this isnt an attack on you) where or how i get my tattoos?

It’s 2023 my friend, the average 9-5 worker is allowed to express themselves how they want for the most part, if someone with lips that look like they’ve been on a suction cup can get a job, I should be allowed tattoos wherever I want(as long as they aren’t outright offensive) I also have both my hands fully ratted and haven’t been discriminated when getting jobs because of them

Acne scars hyperpigmentation port wine stains freckles are job stoppers too.

Trying to live in the past while the future keeps pushing on is dumb. Isn't it time to move forward? We do business with wife killers, but tattoos on the neck and face are the problem.

No it’s not. Because ppl have their preference so you think you sound smart about somebody else’s decision on where they want a tattoo. I do tattoos and the only tattoos I don’t do is a false man that is portrayed as Jesus Christ, penis tattoos and ass tattoos on men. Those are not my area of work so does that make me less of a tattoo artist?

"..when he's just trying to look out for you" - Just like drug laws, eh? No. How about one adult not telling another adult what they can, and/or cant do with their own bodies. If the artist doesn't want to participate that's the artists decision. But this bs about pretending to know what's best for another adults life is dumb. Whether the artist turns out to be right, or wrong its not his place to tell another adult anything about themselves.

​@@GeneralBloke23the comment clearly went over your head. What your saying is true but we aren't talking about that

He's not being paid to "look out for you" he's being paid to tattoo art on people. Either stfu and do what you're being paid to do or close down your shop. Nobody truly gives a single fuck what another person thinks about what's going on their own body.

He’s saying you used to have to earn face and hand tattoos by having lots of ink elsewhere, which proves you know what you’re getting yourself into. And even then you used to have to wait. I know artists that won’t schedule a face tattoo sooner than a year from when a deposit is paid. That year is for you to think about it and make sure you still want that ink on your face permanently. These days too many unscrupulous artists will just take the money and tattoo whatever you want wherever you want whenever you want. Basically, if someone has face and hand tats and no other ink, they’re a fucking poser.

It's not hard. Maybe you lack some mental faculties

Fun fact is he has hands tatoos and all that........

yeah he’s weird for that

It’s not about earning, think. It’s about back in the day, tattoos weren’t accepted like it is nowadays, people used to cover their tats, def didn’t have face tats, neck tats or hand tats, if they had tattoos, u didn’t know it, it was due to jobs not wanting to hire people with tats, nowadays, young people tat their hands face and neck not knowing they’re losing job opportunities, or just opportunities in general, this guy a just old school

Depends on where the tattoo is, as the man said..

As Ozzy Osbourne says if you want to be different don't get a tattoo

I think it all depends on placement and how many you have.. grandmas and mother’s and what not, usually have little tattoos that are usually hidden (1 or 2) however like myself, I get tattoos in the most undesirable places. Chest, back, legs, etc. and usually big pieces. So I still believe it’s counter culture for some.. and a trend for others.

Not true. My parents and the majority of my my family are very traditional and conservative. Only 3 of my 70 something cousins have visible tattoos (hands, face, etc) and they happen to be the black sheep of the family SIMPLY BECAUSE they were ok getting visible tattoos

You can keep trying to push that, but tons of tats will always scream "don't look at me, don't talk to me". Especially on women.

Bingo!

It’s crazy ain’t it. People be bothered for no reason. Why where I get my tat bother you?

Exactly

Even when the person has all kinds of tatts themselves 🤦🏻‍♀️

he’s not being judgmental for no reason it’s just that most tattooers are just extremely passionate about the craft and try to protect it from people trying to capitalize off something they don’t actually give a damn about tattooing isn’t just a job, it’s a culture/lifestyle and it’s very sacred to us if you’re passionate about tattoos whether you’re an artist or not, you just understand that there’s a way you do things and a way you don’t... hand/neck tattoos are something you earn as you go along your journey getting tattooed plus, for a long time heavily tattooed people were outcasts and now you have people taking shortcuts to appear to be heavily tattooed because it’s popular we take pride in actually being fully blasted and not just tattooed in the right areas to appear it but at the end of the day people can get whatever they want, but to be taken seriously in the culture you gotta actually be about it

Or just don’t be a snobby prick and act like any and every tattoo is art in inself as well as any other form of expression :) you must be fun to be around :)

No, he's saying if it's personal which a tattoo is. It should be something private. When someone deliberately gets a visible tattoos off the rip. It's not about art, private memories, values, ect... It's about showing off like a fuck boy. It also is a reflection of a generational gap. Since the early 40's-50's until recently. People literally had their careers end because of a visible tattoo. So making that jump to visible was something you had to really want. It meant more to people. Now any idiot teenager doing too much xanax has one.

Thank you to that boss. I wanna book with him

Ha I got my first tat 2 months ago and my next tat was a Watchmen tattoo on my hand. Kinda a jump but I love it and if it fades I can cover it up.

i feel the same way to an extent, these artists have traditional values when it comes to hand and face tattoos, like i understand the thought process, but times are changing, and there are plenty of jobs available for people with those tattoos. like come on, hand tats are so fucking sick

True, and i know im very opinionated and judgemental saying this. But dont u judge people on their looks in general. For me thats the case big time and i dont feel bad for it because everybody looks like his personality, it may take longer to recognize for some but for me thats true. The same goes for clothing and tattoos. Things have moved to a point where being an outcast and „anti social“ rebellious is soo very cool and nothing u have to hide, tattoo art in culture is just a sign of that

I agree. The dogmatic "culture" seems so silly to me.

Almost sounds like he's gate keeping tattoos.

Hes rite to a degree especially on young people they really don't know where lifes gonna take them and believe me in some careers its still not there ..I've over 40 tats all have a meaning but iam at a age where it doesn't matter and to be honest I dont give a fuk anyway .

I laughed when he said “job stopper” as if anyone is actually gonna be homeless due to a hand tattoo

Tattoo culture is a real thing where the wrong tattoos at the wrong place visible prepare to get jumped

Srsly! He’s a red flag. My sis got hand tattoos for cultural purposes and our tribe does face tattoos sooooo what “tattoo culture” is he talking about lmao

😂😂

His opinion is why people can’t over look art on a body

@@KK-jt6nj for real

Same here, my neck and hands were the last place to get tattooed. I worked in the industry and my boss made me put a transfer of my hand tattoos on every day for a month before he'd tattoo me, to prove I really wanted them.

probably cause things are more expensive now getting something that nobody can see is a waste of money.

It's just because they want to show off

Not only that but it also makes it harder for people to find jobs & those that do it because it's trendy end up regretting it then blame the artist for "ruining their life".

That era is gone. I haven’t had an employer care about my tattoos since 2010 lol everywhere I go, I see workers with visible tattoos. My doctor doesn’t even hide his anymore. I get why this was a mindset 10+ years ago but I don’t get why it’s still being pushed when it rarely applies in 2021. It’s giving me “back in my day” boomer energy.

This the best explanation tbh

@@vyndeliagates3437 Thats exactly what it is. In relatively modern times tattoos were held by criminals and sailors, either way you had your career choice. The navy still has a dope tattoo policy but dont get your hands or neck tattooed if you have no skills and want a good career. Even if you dont care about that those places were held for after you've earned it by wearing other ink for a bit. Mostly American traditional style as opposed to say a tribal, sleeves and pieces were earned for achievements and not done in a session or two. Each piece was like a badge and the last earned were your neck and hands. Years of progression and not just a six hour session. Tribal like Polynesian might get a sleeve in a single session but that was also earned through achievements in life. Now people get full/half sleeves for the look, hands and neck first for the look and its sad because most are young and regret it when they learn they have no skills and look unprofessional. Nobody cares about the carpenter with 30 years experience and a full body suite but they care about hiring the high-school kid with neck tats that can't read a tape.

Exactly. An old school artist tattooed down my wrist on to the top of my hand and it was a big deal. Being that im short and I can hide the tops of my wrists with regular length sleeves, he was ok with the fact it wouldn’t mess up jobs. Love this short!
