peaceridge Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What is the etiquette for getting a tattoo from an artist in a shop where you have been tattooed by a different artist? I have a tattoo from a very, very famous artist. I just found another artist from the same shop – not so famous, but I love his work (different from the traditional work of the first artist). So, what is the etiquette – I gather the first artist is rather temperamental.

JAC1961 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 If the first artist says anything about it, reply, "screw you". Your money, spend it how and where you like. If the first is the shop owner or co-owner he's getting a cut anyway. I have a lot of respect for artists, but they're not the end all, be all. peaceridge, cyoonit123, Hogrider and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8377-etiquette/#findComment-142592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's not a big deal. I have work from different artists at the same shop.

In the rare case that they might be butt-hurt that shouldn't be your problem and they shouldn't express that they are. scottyg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8377-etiquette/#findComment-142605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My upper right thigh is my Spider Murphys tribute. I have work from Theo, Paul and Laurent and as soon as Erik is ready, I'll add something from him!

It's like an insult to change stylists in the same salon. Thankfully, I haven't had that issue with tattoo artists. oboogie and scottyg 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/8377-etiquette/#findComment-142627 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unlikely that both of those artists have work from each other, too.

Well, even as a boy I'd never dream of changing from the woman who has been cutting my hair for the last ~20 years (wow!) in the same salon. Although she is about to fully retire, so I will have to find somebody else in a few months...
