It is widely frowned upon to set your customers on fire, despite the fact that occasionally they deserve it.
I guess I'll just have to be contented that what goes around comes around and blah blah.
I can never really get into it here.. because some customers are spies and I would hate to be venting.. and have a person assume I'm speaking of them, when I'm not. So let's just say that I get very frustrated with these things in my workplace, even if sometimes there is an excuse.


  • Tardiness- I'm on a schedule people

  • Rudeness- I don't get paid to take crap from you. I do, however, get paid to put something on your body FOREVER. be nice...

  • Talk of Miami ink, la ink or kat von d.- The woman may be a talented tattooist.. but i don't care. And when she learns how to stop touching her face and hair with her gloves, I might care.

  • Telling me how to do my job- If your cousin who does tattoos in the garage knows so much, get your tattoo there.

  • Price haggling- When this works for you at hannaford's or K-mart, by all means come back to try again.

  • Touching my stuff- NO TOUCHIES!

  • Askign me to make a finished colored product before we do the tattoo- Get a box of crayons and do it yourself... Or pay me 125$ an hour and I'll color it.

  • Changing your mind 400 times- Decide what you want BEFORE you set an appointment.

  • Touching me- again.. NO TOUCHIES! My arm does not need an arm jobbie

  • Dragging my chair across my floor- both of which i paid for myself. No scraping! In fact, why are you moving closer to the person getting a tattoo in the first place? You sit there and NO TOUCHIES! You touch.. and you make the person move.

  • Moving- Don't do it, it's for assholes and crybabies.

  • touching my trash. Seriously. It's full of blood, sweat and poison. Why would you touch?





So the moral of that story is not to touch anything or irritate me. I just don't like it.

In other news...TransistorTransistor (my guy's band) was in decibel magazine again. Sweet for them. And they are playing a show tomorrow (halloween night) I will be there, dressed up. Feel free to go.. it's in Boston. Do it.

in RE to the touching:

When I was younger, I had a friend who would touch everything in the house when he came over. He couldn't help it. It irritated the shit out of mom, so she got one of those stress squeezy balls and wrote his name on it and put it by the front door. When he came over he was issued the ball and when he left he put it back to it's proper home.

Perhaps you should issue squeezy balls to people when they go to the rooms? biggrin

this could totally be my list but non-tattoo related... well, maybe keep the part about "talk about miami ink..." omg... just cause mgal has tattoos by kim from the show... she's not an expert on the show (or on kim or kat... blah blah blah -end rant)
more importantly...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

good. honestly, better than good, "complication free"! (and by complication i mean worthless people who drag me down) I'm going to be moving into a new place soon, getting a new job, and just everythings is levitating itself right now. smile

so what about you, how's your life other than having to deal with bahumbugernose customers and dating guys in really cool skramo bands?

speaking of bands, have you heard the pygmy lush album? It's rather sweet and I think you'd dig it alot.

btw i'm fully in support of setting customers on fire.
