Free Tattoo Day Dummies

We knew offering free tattoos would bring jabronies out of the woodwork. This is an early example to the kind of mind that takes the cake.

A day after posting about the event this young woman decides to comment on our event page how stupid it was that Free Tattoo Day wasn’t first-come, first-served. Let’s unpack that, shall we? If it was FCFS people would just camp out the night before and once about 40 people had lined up, the event would be over before it even started. Making it random allows more people to participate and keeps us from having to deal with a pop up campground in our parking lot. Here’s what I’d like to point out though. Aside from her connections to people we already have a problem with, why would this woman think it is appropriate to go on OUR page to let us know she wouldn’t be attending our event because it was stupid? Why wouldn’t she just, I dunno, not come? What kind of arrogance does it take to go on a small business facebook page just to tell them you don’t want their service? That’s some Amber Heard-level shit right there.

When we told her to get bent she threatened to us by suggesting we look at her Instagram page before we ‘have NO event’ as if she had the power to shut us down. This woman is obviously quite self-absorbed and may be delusional. Still, we were curious. We looked. She had just over 15k followers, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but when we checked we discovered the vast majority of those were bots, fake accounts. It appears that she may have purchased followers to make herself look more important or popular than she really is, probably to people who are dumb enough to fall for that sort of thing, or to care about it for that matter. We are niether of those things. She rambled and ranted about how we were attacking people including herself. We attacked no one. We merely uninvited anyone who displayed a shit attitude before the event had even began.

Look, the reason why no one ever does this sort of thing is because of people just like her. We could have done normal business on a Saturday, made our money, and gone home. Instead, we chose to offer something to our community (and some folks willing to travel quite a distance) by throwing a party where people could win free tattoos. If you go so far as to show you have a bad attitude before the event even happens, we don’t think it’s for you. On that fateful day we had more than 600 people show up. Most of those folks were great and had a good time or at least weren’t so uncouth as to complain about not getting something for nothing.

This chick? She thought it was a good idea to buy some followers on Instagram in order to bully people online. Probably not a good idea when your dealing with us. Since we don’t give a fuck about that sort of thing and all. We has several other Knuckleheads, but really it’s too much to write about and it’s the sort of thing you’d expect from people who don’t want to pay for someone’s work, so we’re willing to take that on the chin, but this broad took the cake. The sheer lack of self awareness and the size of the chip on her shoulder was astounding.

But look at the bright side: At least now we know we don’t want to do business with her. Could’ve been worse, she could have been a paying customer…
