It's not uncommon for a Hollywood movie to show a character who has been drinking all night to wake up in the morning with a new tattoo, and the character cannot remember where or when they got it. Not only is that not advisable, apparently it's not ethical. From all the tattoo shops and blogs that I have been reading, no respectable tattoo artist would work on a person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I’m sure part of the reason is the responsibility code, but another is because alcohol thins out the blood and you bleed a lot. Not only would that be a gross and a messy situation, but the ink would not set well either.
Unfortunately I think this policy has been a live and learn lesson for some tattoo artists. Take the case of Demi Lovato and her red lip kiss tattoo. Back in 2011, young and drunk at the age of eighteen, Demi decided to get the red lips kiss tattooed to her forearm. But as the novelty of it wore off, Demi was not happy with this tattoo, saying it looked more like a vagina than a pair of kissing lips. Ouch. Slap shot to tattoo artist Ashley McMullen who gave her the tattoo. From what I have read the digs go back and forth. Demi says she was underage and drunk so it is Ashley's fault. Ashley says she gave her what she asked for and put up with her rudeness and no pay. Honestly, to me, they look around the same age and I can only think that since Ashley was on the tour bus, they had to have been acquaintances. And I could imagine that Ashley would have been honored to put a tattoo on a famous young starlet. But what do I know, well, one thing...getting drunk and tattooed doesn’t seem to go well for anybody.
To make it up to Demi for using her as an example, on Monday I will feature her with the beautiful examples of her ‘well thought out’ tattoos and the meanings behind them.
But in the meantime, check out these poor people who ignored the rule "Don't drink and ink". I think some of them could have just had the tattoo covered up with something much more appropriate or beautiful. But some of them would either have to have it removed, or live with it. Have a look.
OMG...cringe worthy funny...
