gavin - 4-12-2007 at 11:42 AM

and they say "you should really write this stuff down. these things dont happen at "normal" jobs and are very funny/interesting to hear.

If you're going to write down some golden stories you seriously need to do it like a book and get that shit published. With tattoo culture the way it is right now someone would publish a book about silly shit that happens in shops.

gavin - 4-12-2007 at 07:19 PM

two guys come in the shop friday night.
i can tell they are drunk as soon as they hit the door.
alot of blah blah blah real loud.
i sigh and go up to them, knowing how this is going to end up.

me" you guys have a question"
dude 1 "yeah, i wanna get FUCK YOU written across my knuckles. how much?"
me "yeah, that aint gonna happen tonight"
dude 2" whatcha mean? we have $700. anything can happen for the right $"
me " well first you're both drunk and we dont tattoo drunks. second, its a stupid idea and we aint doing it anyway. and third, you're both acting like assholes from the time you came in here......so no, its not happening"
dude 1 " ok man, i understand"
dude 2 " no FUCK that, FUCK tyhis motherfucker..blah blah balh"

i look around to see where my boy tony is cuz i cant take both these dudes at once. one at a time yeah but not both.
tony was watching the whole deal and came up the steps

tony "now what motherfuckers?!?!?"(tony is huge and kinda ummmmm crazy)

dude 1 and dude 2 looks at him, then back at me
i shrug

me "told ya it aint happening"

dude 1 and dude 2 bum and leave
me and tony laugh for a while
then i ate dinner

gavin - 4-12-2007 at 07:33 PM

i may have told this one before.............

dude, about 50 or so, comes in with a woman of the same age.
they have been drining a bit but not to the point that i would turn them down.
dude is REALLY loud but not in an overly annoying way.
their story is that they have worked together for years and dude has been asking her out for a long time and she finally said yes.
this is their first date.
they had gone out to dinner, which they had eaten frog amoung other things.
they pick out their tattoos and we are off.
by the way, this is the first tattoo for both of them.
they figured it would be a "wacky" thing to do on their first date.
oy vey.

anyway, they are getting tattooed at the same time.
the chick is sitting well while getting some gay thing on her hip.
dude is getting something gayer on his shoulder blade.
he starts talking louder and louder and rambling on and on.......
"how ya doin hon? this isnt so bad.......blah blah blah"

dude asks me something about eating frogs and i said i never had and that it was fucking gross.
he laughed like he was a strong man and that i was some kind of a half a fag or sumthin.
whatever

i notice dude gets real quiet all of a sudden
he is POURING sweat.
here we go.........

me "dude, you ok?"
dude "ummmm hmmmm i feel a bit sick"
me "yeah, i know"

i grab the trash can and put it under him just in enough time to catch the half digested frog fly from his big mouth
he puked for about 5 mins straight

nice first date romeo

this shit is great.
i used to hang out in a tattoo shop my friends brother owned when I was 17-20.
It was in this real shitty part of SW philly.
anyway, he was always gettin black people coming in and getting the dumbest fucking stereotypical ghetto shit on them.
every day.
so dude goes and draws up some "Afrocentric Flash" as he called it on it's display.
Well don't you know it he made a mint off this shit.
There must be 100 dopes in SWP walking around with thug life and pit bull tattoos.


Geoff, it's funny because you kinda scared my friends back in the day when you worked in the bazaar. I wouldn't have been walking up asking dumb shit....

gavin - 4-12-2007 at 08:00 PM

i mellowed out alot since them dayz
i aint fighting people all the time anymore
my temper is way better than it was back then
lexapro and 3 children have helped me out quite a bit

but sometimes, some mutant will force me back into that headspace

gavin - 4-12-2007 at 08:04 PM

short story.........

dude "i wanna get 420 tattooed on my neck. how much?"
me " well nuthin cuz we aint doin it"
dude "why not!"
me "cuz its a fucking retarded idea thats why"

dude leaves
i shake my head and cry about how my life has ended up

JawnDiablo - 4-12-2007 at 08:05 PM

jeez!
people have some dumb fuckin requests

Keep this shit up.

JawnDiablo - 4-13-2007 at 05:43 AM

I love this kind of stuff because I can really relate to dealing with these moron would be customers.
It does all say allot for you guys Geoff with refusing to ink such crap on people.
I mean there's plenty of shops out there that wouldn't flinch at putting something dumb on some dope that they would regret 10 minutes later.
I wish someone woulda talked me out of my many heavy metal skull tattoos when i was 17.

Working this special "Gun Violence Task Force Detail". Meaning I don't have to answer the radio for bullshit like arguments between drunk retards. Done at 11:00pm, it's 10:39 an damn we better get something....I see follow a car northbound with tv's visible in it (argh at least it's tickets) another vehicle passes me s/b and well let's just say my "intuitoin" tells me something ain't right so I wip a U turn an pull him over. License, insurance, registration sir? Nothing. Out the car he goes, wait a sec I find his I.D. on him.....something don't smell quite right...Already noticed the open containers on them (*you gota be a real dick for me to give you a D.U.I seriously...) tells me the info for the vehicle is in the trunk an gives me the keys.....the funny smell gets worse...as I pop the trunk I observe a Tec-9 ontop of a school bag, simoltanesouly I hear the drivers door open (searched him real fast an the car then put him back in the drivers seat when he gave me the keys) off running we go, no clue wehre I am cause I'm working this "special" detail Im in a different district where I have no clue where I'm at so my partner goes over the air "Northwest 3 PRIORITY!, my partners in foot pursuit w/b through the projects on Ashmead" Radio "N/W3 location, N/W3 what is your location???? (I have NO CLUE) Radio " In the 14th an 39th district assist the officer police by radio...." Now, same above sentence happens 3 more times till finally I come over and yell "N/W 3 as soon as I figure out where I am I'll let you know! I'm ok but get some cars around whatever projects you's know I'm in!!!! Long story short, run after this dick for about a mile through a neighborhood I dont know an right as I'm about to grab him he turns an BOOM takes a shot point blank an thank god misses as I'm tackling him an Im not a big guy. We fall he drops the gun, I (cough cough) explain to him in no uncertain terms that it's not polite to shoot at a police officer. Warrent = tec9 an 13lbs of weed, 2oz coke, scales baggies etc. That was like my third month at work. I wana write a book.
