Not for Nothing, but we haven’t been posted to Knucklehead of the Month lately, not because we haven’t had inspiration, but because we’ve been busy.

This should catch you up a bit:

What about the young woman who came into the shop, then, after telling some customers about the tattoo’s she’d done on herself and some of her friends (in front of Will, mind you) she was asked to leave. She protested, saying that she didn’t know it was inappropriate to do so. We informed her that ignorance is no defense, that she could come back some other day and get her piercing, but that her behavior was unacceptable and she would have to leave, per our zero tolerance policy for dickheadedness. We let her use the phone to call her ride and as she was driving past the shop screamed ‘FUUUCK YOOOOOU’ so loudly it sounded like something you would hear on Animal Kingdom. She apparently failed to learn the lesson we were trying to teach her: when requesting a service, try not to be rude to the people who are supposed to serve you. Also, don’t brag about your illegal, illegitimate, shitty tattooing in a real tattoo shop.
Or the young woman who came into the shop and decided to throw shade at us because her mother wasn’t given a refund when tattoo shops were ordered to shut down during the spring of 2020. First of all, why would we give someone a refund for that? It’s something entirely out of our control, the person should still want the permanent tattoo six weeks after their initial appointment, if not, we certainly wouldn’t give them that money back (we were shut down for six weeks, and we don’t pay people to waste our time), and we, unlike many others, didn’t benefit from the PPP. The woman was fully capable of rescheduling (and she may have, the girl left before we could find out). The lesson here: If you say something stupid, we will call you out for it, and that bitch was being stupid.
What about the young woman who got a tattoo, promptly dropped a box on it while moving the next day, called to ask what to do about that, and upon being told to let it heal and call to set up a touch up appointment, she waited three months and attacked us for not following up with her. This young woman literally IMAGINED POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN HER MIND and flamed us on Facebook for it. When we pointed out that she agreed (in writing!) not to do exactly that, she got her daddy involved. He defended her actions and filed a complaint with the BBB, which is how we think Karens are born. Not that it did any good, mind you. We don’t bend to the will of the Better Business Bureau, or Karens either, for that matter.

Whew! what can we say, as we get more popular we expect to have to deal with a few more Knuckleheads. We’ll try to keep up with KotM a little better updated moving forward. This part of the site is supposed to be a mix of funny and informative. We seek to illustrate how people act and treat us at times and how this affects us, all while teaching folks what NOT to do. Tattoo shops the world over have similar experiences and many of them don’t address it publicly for fear of backlash. We are unafraid. If you come in to Lighthouse Tattoo, behave yourself, and we’ll have a great time!
