What did this person think would happen? Did they think that the tattoo artist would give them a tattoo for free after this person was rude to them? I honestly don’t understand the goal here. I would call them naive but honestly, they seem like a complete idiot to me. Even I wish that tattoos were cheaper to get but that is not how it works and the ink is going to be on your body for life so it is better to spend some money for peace of mind.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s insulting though. These people trying to barter certainly don\u2019t go into their supermarket or travel agent and try to get the price down. It\u2019s ok if people cancel last minute, or fail to turn up, as they think we can just do some drawings to fill our time when we should be earning money. In the last couple of years, there\u2019s been a rise in entitled, over-bearing, and spoilt attitudes from a certain minority that think the sun revolves around them\u2026 when it doesn\u2019t! It shines out your tattooist’s butt!<\/p>\n

This is why services in exchange for exposure is commonplace in glamourous sectors such as fashion, music, and film. From a freelancer’s point of view, they are often told that working for exposure is a rite of passage or an essential part of building a portfolio by their teachers, college professors, and peers. This has created a culture of exploitation that we must address at both ends. –David McKinlay <\/strong>(Tattoo Artist)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI can only hope that people understand this simple concept.<\/h2>\n

Who needs money anyway?<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Any type of creative career understands this interaction.<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
That is just not how it works in the real world.<\/h2>\n

Groceries can’t be bought with experience or exposure.<\/h2>\n

Simple as that.<\/h2>\n

Nothing is free in this world. Even things that you see being advertised as free have some sort of gimmick attached to them. They might have a lot of shipping fees or the company might be trying to hook in new customers, whatever the gimmick might be, it always ends up in a monetary loss […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":180872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,321],"tags":[57,67,1269,295,8213,5045,370,93,304,92,89,7615,282],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tattoo-artist-rejects-customer-free-hobby.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180871"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180871"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":181044,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180871\/revisions\/181044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/defused.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
