Would You Let Your Friend Tattoo You?

New tattoo artists tend to be a little heavy handed, but as long as she was doing it in a place that was clean and sanitary then I see no reason not to do it. The price wouldn't make a difference to me, but since she is a friend, it would be nice to get a break on it.

hmmm..It is possible to get infections and diseases when you get a tattoo, but as long as the tattoo parlor you go to is reputable and CLEAN, you should be fine. I've never heard anything about the ink sinking...

We all had to learn somewhere lol. I know all about those people with heavy hands sweetie. When I had my back done I let someone who was new do some shading and let's just say, I had to stop after about a half hour and explain what they were doing wrong. If they do screw up there should be someone there to correct it. That's why working at an established shop is a real benefit, even if you aren't making any money from it, you are still getting a lot of help from others.

Yup. I have done it before just like what happen to you. I guess its because my friend will never charged me for the service. And that I think he knows what he's doing, specially the sanitation of the needles. But unfortunately he has a heavy hand too.

I think we're talking about trust and confidence here.On my part I would still have my tattoo with my friend even though it's just his 13th time because I have that great trust and confidence in my friend right now.

No. I wouldn't even want a tattoo. Even if i did want one i would get a professional and not my under experiece friend to do it . unless of course she is the professional. Otherwise don't try to save money and get a professional.

I do not want a tattoo. Even if I did, I really do not think so. If I did it at all, I might consider allowing her to do a small one in an inconspicuous place. I certainly would not go for anything large, extremely obvious, or in a very sensitive area.

Personally I don't think I would. Although I love tattoos, a bad one is a scar for life. I think you need to be 100% sure about what you want and who is doing it when you go for one. I was on a waiting list for months to get mine by one of the best in the U.K. but I'm pleased I did. It's not worth the risk. If they'd practised for a few years and built up an impressive portfolio, then I'd let them.

I am scared of pain. I am even afraid of injections. I cannot imagine I can let anyone do a tattoo on me. No, I would not let my friend tattoo on me even for free. I am not going to be a guinea pig :P
