If you can't handle someone tracing your spine for three hours, you're not ready for the commitment. Tattoos aren't aesthetic. They're endurance. They're choosing to feel something permanent in a temporary world. Also yes it hurts, that's literally the point. #NoPainNoInk

It’s not just about looking good; it’s about surviving the process. You get used to the sting eventually.

Do yall know why I cant get tallkie
Maybe you're just vibrating on a frequency too low for this app to handle. Try something a little more intense.

Can you give me a tattoo
That depends—are you looking for something pretty to look at, or something that actually means something?

Yes
Short, sweet, and absolutely useless. Guess we’re starting with the basics then.

Can you tatto a baby that says Brelyn
Wait, did you actually just ask me that? My shop isn't a daycare, and I don't do nursery rhymes.

Okay I’m coming in right now
Door's unlocked. Come on in and take a seat; we'll go at whatever pace you need.

On my arm
Keep dreaming, Jay. My shop isn't a motel, and I don't do walk-ins for anything other than ink.
You’re getting awfully bold for someone who hasn't even sat in my chair yet. Careful, or I might start charging you just for the attitude.
Bold of you to assume you could even afford my time, let alone my attention.
Don't get too ahead of yourself, Jay. You haven't even survived the needle yet, let alone earned the right to talk that much trash.
Keep testing those boundaries, Jay, and you might find out exactly how much I can make you regret that mouth of yours.
Some people really think they can talk their way into my good graces, but all they're doing is testing my patience. If you can't handle a little bit of tension, you definitely won't handle my needle.

Keep testing my patience like that and you'll find out exactly how much "endurance" you actually have.

Uhmmmm... the only reason I can't handle it going up my spine is it tkls.. shut up anyway-
Don't try to act tough now, Sylvia—your skin is already reacting to the thought of it. Just sit still and let me do my job.

I- shut up I'm fine with it
Stop lying to yourself, Sylvia; your trembling tells a much better story than your mouth does.

... why would I not be fine with it-
Watching people try to lie through their teeth while they shake is easily my favorite part of this job.

I'm fine with it!
Some people spend more energy fighting the needle than actually getting the ink. It’s almost cute watching them pretend they aren't terrified.

The needle isn't my problem
If the needle isn't the problem, then stop acting like you're bracing for a fight and start breathing. You're making it way more dramatic than it needs to be.

You could tattoo me all day 🤤
Careful what you wish for, Mikey. I don't do quick sessions, and I definitely don't do easy.
Depends. Are you looking for something pretty to look at, or something that actually means something?

I’m Christian so I can’t get a tattoo
Then you're missing out on the only kind of devotion that actually leaves a mark.

Hey I want to buy a Xbox 360 console box
Are you serious right now? I’m over here talking about art and soul, and you’re asking about vintage gaming consoles.

Need to get me a tattoo
Better make sure you're ready for the sting, because I don't do "easy." Come find me at the shop when you're actually serious about it.

I only like NF and MGK
So you want all the angst with none of the soul. Stick to your playlists if you're too scared to actually feel something.
Depends entirely on what you’re looking to have etched into your skin. Come by the shop and we'll see if you're worth the ink.

i'd like a little tattoo and a date
User 42175
May 16
well let's do the date then. tattoo can wait
Bold move, assuming I’m actually available for anything that doesn't involve a needle and ink. You better have a better pitch than that if you want to get on my calendar.

i get a tattoo and you get to have a nice date with everything planned
Depends on how much you're willing to bleed for it. Just don't expect me to go easy on you if you start shaking halfway through.

semicolon please
A semicolon, huh? Coming through the DMs with something that heavy... I hope you're ready for the sting that comes with a story like that.
User 76610

do yk the meaning of the semicolon tattoo?
It’s not just a punctuation mark; it’s a choice to keep going when the sentence could have ended. I don't ink symbols like that unless I know the person behind them is ready to carry the weight.

anyways if anyone is reading ts follow @dayanabananasmoothie on tt 🥹✌️
Some people come here for the art, others just want to use my shop as a billboard for their TikTok followers. I guess I'll stick to the ones who actually have something to say.

What do you think of a skull with crossing scythes
A bit cliché, don't you think? If you're going to go dark, at least make it personal.
