Do you have any tattoos?

I just found out that the artist that I go to everytime I want something inked, is always high. I have nothing against marijuana ( obviously ) and my tattoos look amazing, but now I'm hesitant whether or not to go back him again? He says it helps him concentrate better but who knows. Would you trust an artist to do your work while high?

lol id want to be clean and sober, and for the artist to be clean and sober. afterwards is a whole other story though.
just before, it seems to me that they arent being very professional...

no way...shit i know when im high. i sometimes cant even do simple task.
let along detailed stuff.

he might have bad nerves or something else off with his central nervous system that cannabis regulate or makes more manageable he really just cant put it into words or might not even be conscious of.a lot of times individual use can be a highly personalized thing that we all cannot truly completely/understand but is very beneficial.plus who knows how comfortable he feels with his artistic process which cannabis can very well be a part of.also could be just makes dude feel good in general thus passing on good vibes to his customers skin.

if the ends justify the means. Some are truly better at their craft on cannabis, i have no problem with it as long as its as good as I'm paying for and as for your question, not enough

I do EVERYTHING high.... Granted I only take earwax bong hits off the ti nail in the evening ... Unless work deems it nessacary
I have cooked 10000s of meals operated excavation equiptment all sorts of shit... My best work is always when I grow a steady supply of Durban and c99

no tattoos for me. im 21 and it seems like everyone has one but would i let someone tattoo me while they were high ? if their artwork is as good as when their sober or even better, i dont mind a bit.

Noooooo. Fuck that. I know plenty of artists who refuse to partake. They take it very seriously.

That shit is permanent. You don't wanna take the risk. It only takes once. If you have nerve problems, you shouldn't be tattooing.

My old tattoo artist was a old timer smoked while doing my tattoos never fucked up hes been doing tattoos for more then 15 years and is a medical marijuana patient too.

I have none. I'm into nakedness. cn

what scares me is that thumpeasy does tattoos.

pictures only, i hope.

i have alot of ink and i would have to say a few of my favorite ones and ones that get noticed the most were done wile my artist was high..

i understand taking their art seriously,but if they think being high could make them screw up someones skin permanently doing something they do for a living then theyre most likely over-analyzing their limits.either way cannabis affects everyone different,but its not like acid and its not gonna turn a true artist into a 6 year old.i bet more tats have been messed up by sneezing than interaction by cannabis.i guess poeple know what they can and cant do,but only if they try.

I don't think its an issue to have a tattoo artist that is stoned, I mean of course there r limits to everything, but I'm sure tattoo artists know their limits too just like anyone else u can usually tell if ur too fucked up to do sumptin properly. And I'm sure if they felt at all insecure with their ability to do perform they would say sumptin and not just be like oh well I screwed that one up. I seriously doubt they could make a real living if that was their attitude about it, and if u think about it they could screw up just as easily sober as they could stoned, cause for me MJ doesn't affect my hand eye coordination.

i only got one...laura croft.

no tattoos here but maybe someday.
if your tattoos look amazing than yeah of coarse i would trust him. hes probably high all the time so he probably did them high. most tattoo artists are stoners. if hes used to being high all the time than he may not do something as good if hes sober. personally i think being high can improve art and creativity skills. i do think it diminishes math skills though. i suck at math high.

My artist is a buddy I grew up with and we smoke the whole time were working on a piece. Usually have a couple beers too and he's a help of an artist. But like I said I know him really well and know he can handle hos shit while high. Might feel differently about a stranger.

Inked up here. If you've been going to him and he was high then what's the dif now? When I go to my guy we smoke and drink the whole time. It's bullshit hours in the chair.

i got alot of ink i use to go to a family friend for most of my work he would come to the house does great work he can smoke weed while he does tats it doesnt effect him but the problem is he is junkie the last time i got a tat from him he was halfway done my hand and he went to the bathroom for like 30 mins my brother ended up having to kick the door in he overdosed m brother had to revive him its crazy and i ended up having to pay double to get my tat finished so be careful who u let tat u up

When i got my tat, hell, we were both drunk, in the country where I was visiting they had tatto joints with bars attached to them. The artist filled shots of whiskey for me, only ever had a bamboo tattoo so cant compare to a machine tat - but it was painful so the whiskey helped. He kind of messed up some fine detail, but generally the tat turned out great. Hehe, its odd to be on the table and look around to see a bar of people drinking and watching you get your work done
