Question: Have you ever met troublesome clients while tattooing?

I haven't actually had really troublesome clients per se (except for one guy that ended up just being an overall bad person), but sometimes the friends that clients bring in can be troublesome. They like to be the backseat driver and will point things out before it's even time to get to them.
I remember this one time I was doing permanent eyebrows on a lady and her friend was telling me I had to add more onto one side. I have a method! I didn't even say I was near letting the client look at them to give me the ok, so why say anything? ...Just little irritating things like that Other than that it's been pretty good experiences. I don't generally tattoo anyone while they're drunk so I cut the amount of crappy situations there.

Avoiding people without a clear mind is definitely a great way to cut down annoying cases!
Permanent eyebrows... how does that work? I'm a complete newb in terms of tattoos.

Haha it's like any other tattooing! The only difference is I can use a topical numbing solution and I also use a machine made specifically for permanent cosmetics. I also use facial pigments instead of normal tattoo pigments.
You want the brows to be subtle and not jump out at everyone, and usually tattoo ink is bright so the tattoo stays bright. Facial pigments are softer and lighten differently ^^
