the customer is not always right

If you want a tattoo, I beg you to think long and hard and then think some more about your design.

Do not get a tattoo because you want to be able to say "hey, check out my cool tattoo".
Get one that allows you to say "have you seen my pet dragon?" or "this is the saying I live by"

Tattoo artists are indeed artists but even they are business folk and the saying "the customer is always right" is something even tattooist respect.
What do I mean by this?

I'm sure you've seen people sporting Marvin the Martian or Tweety bird with his (yes, Tweety bird is a boy) eyes in a flutter.

Chances are the tattoo artist did very little to talk them out of this and well...there you have it.
