A real patriot of the USA


Every tattoo shop and every tattoo artist works differently. As a person that has been in a tattoo shop for the past 2 years and been lucky enough to see a tattoo artist in action I could say that when it comes to hygiene and what the customer wants, every tattoo artist is the same. There main priority is to give there clients what they want and take there ideas to the next level. This being said we all heard about the teen who sued the tattoo artist for getting 56 stars while she was sleeping. We could all have a different opinion about this incident. Did she really want 3 stars or 56? In my opinion I believe that when she finished with her tatt, she regret what she got and used that as a excuse and since the tattoo artist always has to keep there clients happy he decided to pay half for her laser surgery. The tattoo artist still to this day says that she got what she wanted.
