I Am a Tattoo Artist

Today has been the most frustrating day. We can go six months without days like this, but today has been an exceptional nightmare. Staff are fighting, one customer turns out to be a stalker and the autoclave stopped working at 4, so no clean grips for tomorrow morning and back to disposables. I’m about ready to run away.

Owning a studio isn’t always this bad, but if you tattoo for a living or own a studio, I you have my sympathy!

What, pure chaos? I’m sure it happens in even the most serene of working environments! @SW-User

@Zombiegal well, at least it doesn't discriminate! lol

No, it certainly doesn’t. Technical failures are bad luck, but mediating a gang of creatives is near impossible! I sat in my office this morning and was grateful for the autoclave breakdown. I think it had enough, too. The peace today has been bliss!

@Zombiegal bliss is always a welcomed friend after visits from chaos

Very true!
