Top Comments of this video!! :3
If required I offer my two cents in a respectful manner but at the end of the day theyre adults. Fingers and the pad line are areas I go into greater detail about poor ink retention, clients should be informed and all options should be discussed for any tattoo, its part of our job, doing so is always appreciated and you will retain that client for the long haul.

This is something I wish other artists would do with advising.
One of the biggest reasons I'm not going to be bothering with tattoo shops in my area for an apprenticeship. Not only does my area not have strict guidelines about sterilization (to the extent of imagine sitting in a shop and watching artists use the same ink caps for multiple clients), but I have seen so many people who are 17-20 getting neck and face tattoos, from everything from confederate flags, white supremacy symbols, or my personal (un)favorite, a naked pin up woman on the side of a 19 year old's neck that I knew the older brother of.
If I ever get to work in a shop (I'm currently 26, been looking at apprenticeships for 5 years, been an artist for 10+ years, it's unlikely), my general rule will be I'm not doing jobstoppers on anyone who doesn't already have a good chunk of tattoos or is still college age/entry career age, which for here that's typically 18-22, by 23 you're expected to be in a full time career/married with kids/etc. Even then, it'll be a long conversation of like "hey, here's the major cons you need to be aware of before I do this tattoo, and I want you to seriously consider this before we go any further."
I'm honestly so close to just sending this video to the tattoo artists I know in my area because it's ridiculous here.
