"My friend who's a tattoo artist said he's done the Deathly Hallows symbol probably 15 times in his career."
"I have a couple chemistry tattoos, and my artist made a comment about girls getting dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin with the word 'happiness.' Seemed like he might have done a few too many."
"Asked my buddy and he said, 'If I have to do another goddamn Latin paragraph on a chick's ribs, I'm gonna lose it!' Ironically, he was doing one on his girlfriend when he told me."

"My local tattoo shop in the Caribbean has a running tally of how many times they've had to tattoo palm trees on girls' ankles."
"And when you ask them what it means, it's always, 'It symbolizes that I can't be held down.'"

"The head artist at my shop was getting super burned out on big cats (specifically lions) wearing crowns. In about a month, he'd done five realistic lions (and a panther) wearing crowns on dudes who wanted to feel like kings. I had to start politely turning them down when people called to inquire about them."
"I'm not religious at all, but I think I've ascribed the entire Bible on human flesh at this point."

"My friend got so tired of doing barcodes on people's necks [that] he made a game out of using the silliest products as references. So if the customers scanned the tattoo, they’d see that the barcode was for sanitary products, a bag of nuts, mashed potatoes, etc."
"Why does the guy who wants this tattoo always have a perfectly groomed goatee?"
"I've seen so many people get a mustache on the inside of their pointer finger. I feel like that fad has to have gotten old with a few artists."
"I’m not against face tattoos — I have friends and peers that wear them quite well. My issue is 18-year-olds who want to get them because they want a certain look. Pop culture has made them seem a lot more acceptable than they actually are. At the end of the day, in the majority of careers, they will hinder employment."
"I'm completely sick of octopus tattoos. Everyone who has one thinks they're insanely unique and doesn’t realize it’s a ridiculously popular tattoo."

"As I was setting up my last appointment, my artist and I were talking at the front desk when the receptionist took a call. They told the caller, 'Just a minute,' and asked my artist, 'Hey, do you have time for a walk-in today?' He looked over and said, 'Maybe, what do they want?' 'An infinity loop.' 'Are they on hold?' 'Yes.' 'Fuck that, I'm so fucking sick of infinity loops. Tell 'em I'm busy.' Safe to say my artist is sick of infinity loops."

Personal note: I included a picture of one of my own tattoos in this and have several of these, so please don’t come for me. This list is just for fun; obviously everyone has their own subjective taste. What do you think? Are these tattoos dated or timeless?
