I bought my artist video games in lieu of actually paying for the tattoo, but she was my best friend, so that was our deal. She knew she'd just buy games with the money anyways.

Me: "$70 for a game?? Geeze, Ava."
Her: "Heather, would you like to know how much ink is in your body?"
Me: "...Would you like the strategy guide too? They've got it right here."

LOL, actually, I have a 3/4 sleeve that was done for nothing... mind you, the tattooist was my boyfriend, so I think it would have been a little rude of him to charge me ;)
I did offer to pay something though, just because it's not his shop, we're using the premises etc. I guess all up I paid maybe $100?
The down side is we broke up just before it was completed and he wants to charge me full $ to finish it :(
(not happening atm, what with Uni fees, having a 3 1/2 year old etc etc)

"charge me full $ to finish it "

Jerk! :P I get him wanting you to pay, some, but full price? That's just mean.

Oh, mine was done at the shop he was working at at the time, while he was on duty. Just a simple nose piercing, though, which is why it was free. I'm pretty certain he was trying to get in my pants, which is weird since he already had. But a free nose piercing, yay.

mine was done by a friend who just happened to have gotten a piercing gun that night (this was in 1989) since she was a cosmetologist. it was the second piercing i had done in a club, although not in the same club or at the same time. i can honestly say i've had more done to myelf in clubs or parking lots than in any professional establishment - and luckily, never had a problem.

There are a lot of really crappy tattoo artists out there who can't get anyone to ink but their friends. ;)

So stupid, I hate when people "name drop" shit like that.

Nobody gives a fuck how much you paid for your tattoo, or that you sucked your artist's dick for a discount.

Cue anecdotes about free and/or discounted tattoos.

:) I just got one done for $10 because my artist is going to be apprenticing me in March.

Man...I paid full price AND I had to blow strangers...what the fuck? Actually, I just got a nice price because one of my friends is getting a full sleeve from the guy and has sent a shit ton of work his way.
