“Tattoo Etiquette: Respecting the Artist & the Craft ep.3”

Esplicito

In this episode of the Ink’d Enthusiast Podcast, hosts Lonnie and Mr. Wally dive into one of the most overlooked parts of tattoo culture: client etiquette. From asking for discounts to understanding why tattoo pricing isn’t just “pocket money,” they break down what every client should know before sitting in the chair.

They talk about:

• Why constantly asking for deals or “hook-ups” disrespects the artist
• How tattoo shop costs, booth rent, and supplies affect pricing
• The difference between nightmare clients and dream clients
• What it really means to respect the artistry and process

Whether you’re an artist or someone planning your next piece, this episode will give you a raw, unfiltered look at tattoo etiquette from both sides of the needle. Tune in!
