Depends on how much you drank and how long it takes the alcohol to get throughout your system. Excess bleeding can make it much harder to work because the blood will push out the ink… or it can mix in while you’re trying to put the ink in, thinning out the ink and basically ‘watering it down’… which makes it more transparent.


Your clients are also (or should be) signing a contract. Can’t sign a contract if you’re not in your right mind. :/ Drunk people make hasty, impulsive decisions. And yes, they may come back the next day complaining or worse.


Drunk people often don’t sit well. It’s difficult enough to tattoo someone… then add alcohol. They move, can’t stay in one position because they forget, talk with their hands, can’t or won’t listen when you need them to, jump, twist, twitch and this whole time you’re working on them with your fingers two inches away from their BLOODY NEEDLE. 0.0 It’s a big health risk. Just not worth it IMO.


Besides… the only time I can really put up with drunk people is if I’m drunk myself. I can’t stand working on someone and having them breathe alcohol on me the whole time… because sometimes they just have to see what’s going on as close as they can get. Ever try to work on someones arm when they’re trying to see it themselves? Heads and hats get in the way. lol” - Sharptattoos

They’re probably my favorite accessory and I have quite a collection of them in varying styles, colors and designs. So, when the Ed Hardy line came out with their vintage tattoo design sunglasses, I drooled a bit. But at $200 a pair, I just can’t justify getting them. I’m too abusive on my shades, throwing them in my purse, in the car and inadvertently leaving them somewhere never to see them again. So, when I came across Goggles and Glasses’ new Tatt Shades line (which run $14.99/pr), I was very excited! I emailed them right away, and within 5 days I had 3 new pairs of tattoo sunglasses to try out. Did they meet up to my expectations, or does the cheaper price reflect cheaper quality? Read my review and see how Tatt Shades held up under a week of my abusive behavior.

I had them pierced for a few years when I had to remove them due to being in the hospital for a major surgery. I was in the hospital for some time, and by the time I was well enough to re-insert the nipple ring it had closed. Now I have what I would call two everlasting ‘white heads’ on each side of the nipple where it was pierced. I can squeeze the nipple to get out the gunk but I can never get it all so it always comes back. What can I do to help these ‘white heads’ heal? I’m really concerned because I’m now pregnant and would like to be able to breast feed my baby without having to worry that they will be sucking that gunk in along with my breast milk.”
