Today we are talking about Gabbie Hanna and Her Tiktok Infamous Throat Tattoo! If you're on tiktok and you like tattoos you've likely seen a version of Gabbie Hanna's video where she's explaining the meaning of each of her bugs on her throat. Gabbie Hanna is somewhat of a controversial individual online and I wanted to sit down today and talk through Gabbie Hanna's throat tattoo to see if this was a good decision and why Gabbie Hanna's throat tattoo apparently took 10 hours to complete...

It irritates me that so many tattoo artists(that ive seen talk about this online) get "annoyed" about the client being particular about how there tattoo is placed or how it looks. I'm paying you anywhere from $200-$1,000 for a PERMANENT piece of art (that could have a big significance). If I don't like the design or the placement I should absolutely tell you to fix it/move it. Maybe that's just me but it almost feels like gatekeeping.
most tattoo artists are super patient with that and happily change stencil placement however many times is necessary.
But if you are changing your mind like this throughout the tattoo and acting like you know more than your artist you probably don’t want permanent art.
@@tealsteak micromanaging the tattoo is one thing, I'm just saying if there are design elements you don't like *before they start tattooing obviously, you should be able to say "hey can we change x?"
There’s a difference between communicating with your tattoo artist (i.e. making adjustments to your design/placement) and approaching someone with an “I know more than you even though you’re the professional” attitude. The industry can be gatekeep-y, most art spaces can be, but if a GOOD tattoo artist [everybody needs to do their own research on artists to know if their work, personality, and pricing is right for you] tells you what is best and not best for your skin, tattoo, or design- you should probably listen to them. They know what they’re doing and any artist is not a tattoo artist.
I totally agree
Came here to say this, thank you
I’m not a Gabby fan, but you don’t need “a genuine interest in tattoos” to get a tattoo… And why are you judging people with few tattoos that get a tattoo in a highly visible place on the body as “getting it for shock value”? So what?
I know. This girl is obnoxious
I wholeheartedly agree. I hate Gabby, but she's allowed to play around with the design on her own time and she's allowed to get a highly visible piece...
Yea I agree with this comment, not a gabby fan by any means, but it seems to me that she is just using Gabby’s name to gain some minute of internet fame, like it’s not on your body it’s on hers, I’m not a tattoo artist but I’ve done art for people and when they ask you to do something specific you either so no and don’t get paid or you say yes, it’s pretty simple actually I think this apprentice needs to learn a bit more and humble herself
@@perfectstorm5465 Hey, I agree with your argument, it's not on her body and using her name
my thoughts exactly
OOF. I'm a tattoo artist and have a packed schedule with a lot of different clients (some who travel across state to see me). Even though I am busy as hell, I treat each client with the utmost respect and only schedule one or two clients a day so they feel comfortable knowing they can take any breaks they need (eating breaks, numbing spray breaks, stretching breaks, etc). Hell, I've even moved stencils 10+ times for clients, because they deserve to have a PERMANENT piece of art they love. I have tattoos on myself that I absolutely hate, and I would be so sad and disappointed in myself if I caused mental pain like that to another person. I am guessing this popped up in my algorithm because I'm an artist (I don't have tiktok or know who Gabbi is). Anyways.. LOL
"I don't have tiktok or know who gabbie is" oh how i envy you
This makes me feel really bad about my first tattoo. I designed it myself and it means a ton to me. It's a memorial tattoo that I worked on and thought about for years before getting. I brought my sketchbook that had been filled with this design that I finally thought I had perfected. I also brought in tons of reference images so if changes needed to be made it would be super simple.
The artist I worked with was so kind. He made a few adjustments to the design but made sure I was aware and liked every one before doing it. I felt bad when I wanted to change the size of the stencil after it was placed but he assured me that it was totally fine and he wanted me to feel totally satisfied with the placement before it was permanent.
I was nervous going in because my own art was nothing like the amazing work the artist was capable of and I thought I would be judged for it, but he was so on board with the idea of the memorial tattoo to be in my own hand, not the style of a stranger.
This video makes me so glad I had an artist like him. Having an artist that's annoyed that I know exactly what I want and where I want it would have tainted the beautiful image of a very meaningful tattoo.
If you like it then don't feel bad. It's not that deep.
Dude you’re fine. I’ve never heard of an artist saying “no” or acting like it’s a “big no” to bring in a design that they didn’t make. That’s because those are amateurs. So if you got yours done by someone who was patient with you, then you had a dope artist
Yours sounds very meaningful to you, and designed with intent. Hers seems like she went into it thinking about it what would “look cool” and googled the meaning later. Also I think she pulled existing clip art and moved it around to make her tattoo, she didn’t actually draw each individual bug (which is what I would consider “designing” a tattoo). I also think her past controversies and the fact that she is a public figure means she’s more susceptible to criticism than you are. At the end of the day if you’re happy with your tattoo, that’s all that matters :)
the thing is your tattoo probably didn't have any major issues if the artist only made some small changes. Gabbies was put together with zero understanding of tattoos and the design suffered for it
Nahhhhhh…. If you’re putting it on your body permanently and you’re paying for it you have every right to be particular and ask for what you want
THIS.
100%
sure but the thing is if it was designed by the artist they could have thought about that on beforehand
@Wait so I can put anything it’s the client’s actual body tied to it. If an artist doesn’t feel comfortable with doing a design then I think that’s fine, but the client should absolutely get to be particular about what they want. If the client wants a design the artist is unable or unwilling to do then I think the client should be encouraged to go elsewhere for the design they want (or, if the artist’s issue is that the design cannot be done by anyone, then the artist should communicate that and then if they want could work with the client to find a better alternative, perhaps a modified version of the client’s desired design). It ultimately doesn’t matter how great the tattoo artist thinks their design is though if the client isn’t happy with it.
@Wait so I can put anything you shouldn’t give up control over what goes on your body. That’s not typically how it works for any other art you have commissioned so idk why it’d be different for tattoo artists when that artwork is literally supposed to be permanent markings on the client’s body. The artist sharing thoughts and suggestions based on their expertise is something I think is fine and good (including opinions about how well a design will translate into a tattoo), and if an artist is unable to do the client’s requested design then as I said they should explain that to the client, but the artist should definitely be ensuring the client remains in control of what goes on their body and should be respecting the wishes of their clients.
Gabbie Hanna apparently wound up with a tattoo that she really likes and is significant to her.
I would never feel comfortable getting tattooed by you. You’re so judgey and controlling. Also, artists charge for every part of the process including stencils… so no, she wasn’t wasting anyones time.
Absolutely agreed.
Amen
And she is one of those quiet passive whiney complainers
It's even worse when you know that Gabbie has bipolar and the over exaggerating and other behaviours that this person is judging her for are part of her mental illness.
Same... i see myself back in the day (started more than 20 years ago getting tatted) when i had a tattoo in mind, a lot of examples and clippings, pasting drawings together to get to what i like. This girl wants to be an artist? With that attitude? Forget it!
Tattoo gatekeeping is fkin hilarious.
I honestly love the design she created and i feel like you’re harshly judging people for having anxiety about a piece of art that is going to be painful and permanent. She seems like a perfectly fine client.
I love when my clients have a solid idea of what they want. It’s our job as tattoo artists to consult and advise, not to pressure people into getting what we want them to get. Your approach definitely seems controlling and condescending for no real reason.
Clients shouldn’t be seen as annoying just bc they’re excited about a specific idea.
do you design tattoos yourself? I got my first one recently & it seemed like every artist I contacted already wanted me to have a solid design/didn’t have time to tweak designs. Is that normal?
@@xJillieabsolutely not normal. You should at least have an idea of what you want, but my general method is to have thematic ideas that I take to the artist. I tell them what I'd like to be the focus, some elements to include, references (one is based on a tarot card so I gave a copy of that) and then I allow the artist to design a piece in *their style*. I have collected beautiful art this way, that means a lot to me, and the artists who have tattooed them are just as excited bc it's a piece they created and they're proud of. The key is to find someone who has a style you like and a vibe that matches your own... your artist should feel like a friend whose art you want to buy and display (in my very long opinion 😅). Good luck on your hunt for an artist. 💖
@@xJillieit doesn't seem normal to me. I'm not an artist but have had work done at maybe six different shops. Larger pieces, it's seemed totally normal procedure that a couple weeks before, i explain what I want, provide some inspiration pics & they draw it up. usually with different ideas for particular parts. Some places require a deposit, $50 or something (I think that's more common in the last few years) but it goes towards tattoo cost.
Gabbi is getting rid of her little stencil art tattoo, so clearly she didn't have that much anxiety over it being a permanent fixture lol
To be fair, I see nothing wrong with designing your own tattoo. If anything doesn't work, the artist can offer imput, of course, because some things just don't work. I designed a sigil for me and my brothers, with slight alterations suggested by the artist.
I think where the criticism for designing your own tattoo comes in is like you can find your own placement. But the artist who first drew all the bugs design got their work stolen by Gabby. All the art we find online was made by a person and unless you drew the design your self then you didn’t design it - you just decided placement. So that work is stolen cause Gabby didn’t design them even if the drawing is a real bug the original artist did not receive compensation. and for artist who live off drawing you just stole a lively hood
@@annabowden3087 or maybe it was just free stuff posted online. Its not like they were some specialized piece that was supposed to be a one of a kind. Theyre bugs and bugs only come in so many shapes and sizes. I feel like people take this whole stealing art way to literally as ver few people actually do unique stuff nowdays.
@@mech0p that's not the point. gabbie took the art online, and said it was her own. she acted like the drawing was originally hers, when she indeed found the drawing online. it doesn't really matter if it was free art online. she essentially traced the art from the internet and said it was her original art.
Tattoo artists know the best when it comes to placement, size, color, line size, everything. and Gabbie wasn't taking anyone's advice. they were only trying to help.
@@mech0p it is absolutely supposed to be a unique, one of a kind piece, why else would she spend so long fussing over it. Bugs come in infinite shapes & sizes, as do illustrations of bugs. It doesn't matter if the drawing isn't "super original", it's still theft of someone else's work and I would be absolutely livid if it was my drawing she'd stolen. If it was free clipart that's fine, (personally would not want generic clipart on my body but each to thier own) but I believe the other commenter's point was that you can't slap clipart OR someone else's art on yourself and call it your own design. Obviously Gabbie's going to do whatever she wants but it's not a good look.
There's nothing inherently wrong with designing your own tattoos, you just need to be aware that changes might need to be made to make it possible or to get the best tattoo, and accept your artist's advice when it comes to things like size & what is and isn't achievable with a tattoo (it sounds like that's exactly what you did, if only everyone was as easy to deal with!)
Hate to break it to you - the tattoo artist works for the client. If you can't handle tattooing something to the clients desires, you shouldn't be a tattoo artist.
Full stop.
Imagine getting your first tattoo and you're really nervous, and the tattoo artist makes you feel even more uncomfortable by judjing you.
I just don't understand how planning out a tattoo that is permanently going on your skin is "exhibiting signs of a bad tattoo client"... she's planning ahead... which is actually extremely mature and cautious of gabbie
5 months later she's getting them removed! D'oh! 😄
I had a tattoo artist get frustrated with me for being incredibly particular about a back piece I wanted and I knew that place was not the vibe. If you cannot handle someone being anal about a PERMANENT art piece you are putting on their body, you should not be a tattoo artist that does anything more than prefabs.
it's so weird that tattoo artists could say anything wlse tbh!!! It sounds like clients should be ok with mistakes being made from the artist.... hmm. It's my body, I have the right to be particular
@@sophroniel You got that backwards actually. Clients don't understand how applying art to anatomy, and principles of longevity actually work. An artist being willing to be honest with you and say what will and will not work is for your benefit not theirs. The tiny detailing in those bugs will not last very long and she will definitely need maintenance to keep them from looking like smudges, which was not her intent or desire, i.e. a mistake.
In short if you don't trust an artist to make good creative decisions for your idea and the execution of it, you shouldn't be getting a tattoo from that person or at all in the first place.
I used to be very strict about my tattoo ideas. Now that I’m married to a tattoo artist and having a little fun with fake skin myself, the best advice I have is to trust the artist. They know what will look good, what will age well, the best placement and size. They know better than you do.
And an artist who genuinely cares about what they’re doing will, indeed, get frustrated if they believe your idea won’t work.
@@katesperinck1401this is exactly the case. All these people being like "her body! Do what she wants!" Are the same people who will get fine line and bright colors on their wrist, do zero aftercare or sun protection then call out the artist when it looks shitty in a couple years. There's no appreciation for the fact that it's the artists reputation. If you can't find a good artist willing to risk theirs on a bad idea, you can always find a worse one willing to take your money and give you *exactly* what you want, however poor longevity will be.
@@maloryj7165 yep pretty much as soon as she got the tattoos she hated them and got them lasered, I'm absolutely shook.
Your attitude is the reason why I'm hesitant to go into a tattoo shop to ask about getting my first tattoo. I don't have a particularly meaningful/impactful reason for wanting a tattoo, I just want one because I want one. Will I be turned away because my reason isn't "deep" enough? Sheesh.
No you won't be turned away! Read through the comments and you'll see most people don't agree with this RUclipsrs point of view. It's sad actually because I think she's putting out bad/incorrect information.
@@gargoylegirl247 Thank you, I'm actually trying to set up an appointment in the next two weeks to finally talk to an artist about it. I hope I don't encounter a gate-keepy one like her, lol.
@@Meg_88 I bet you don't. 😉
@@Meg_88 hey! I’m a tattoo artist and I promise you, just go to a shop and look through all the artists portfolios and find which artists work you like the most and go from there (: let them know it’s your first one and they should really be able to help you. Don’t worry about meaning and all that or being judged. YOU are the client and they get paid to do what you want. Hope that helps! 🙏🏼💕
Obviously you're going to be turned away if you don't come in with 10 page essay on the symbolism of your tattoo and at least 3 reference images showing the history of image and its interpretation. And of course no clip art ...
This video just feels icky and incredibly catty.
Edit: the comment section has restored my faith in people.
Why?
Ah I see
“She even brought in her own design.” And “let the professionals do their work.” Bruh. Next time I want a tattoo I’ll just walk in and tell them to do their work. Thank god I saw this video, because I now know that tattoos should ultimately please the artist more than the person PAYING for it. I have never backed gabbie Hannah on anything, except for this. People pay upwards of $500 for tattoos. They should be able to mark their body how they want. Sure, they shouldn’t be rude ab it, but what’s wrong with redoing a stencil until you get it how you want it…? They show you what the stencil looks like on your body before starting for a reason.
Totally agree
I agree with u I really dislike the gabby show but I have to back her up on this one. Bruh what?? I’m an artist and I have a close friend who I went through art school with and she became a tattoo artist. I made the drawing myself and she made a few changes to make them easier for her to transfer on a skin surface, that’s it. She was more than happy to place my own drawings on me. Never complained. Actually, she told me she does the same thing when she wants her own drawing in places she can’t reach, she just asks other tattoo artists to do them for her.
Because she cost the tattoo artists multiple other clients and effected buisness? You can be as maticulous as you want but it doesn't;'t give you a pass to fuck with someones ability to pay the bills just because you can't decide what you want.
@@rabbitguts2518 ?? Who are you replying to?
@@rabbitguts2518 you should be able to work with an artist on where you want things. I’m a hairstylist, which is temporary, and even I understand how important it is that a client is 99.9% sure about their decision before carrying on the service. You should be able to work with your client and not be a dick about it like this person was. She probably just doesn’t like Gabbie Hanna.
Im also a tattoo artist, and this video is a huuuge no, micro managing your tattoo is great, its a very important decision, I love clients that know what they like, obviously I wouls recommend to clients that I make the art for them, but they love a design they made by taking clip arts from the internet, then great for them, they're paying me and I do what they want
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hell yeah, so happy to see a tattoo artist saying this! I was thinking to myself why it's so bad a client did a shit ton of their own research to find what they'd like to put on their body. After all it is going to be on their body forever. Not to mention in an area where it's going to be seen no matter what. I can already tell you make your clients comfortable and not worried they are going to be judged. 💕 Unlike how this video made me feel. It missed the mark for sure.
@@BambiBombshellxo exactly!!
@@MariseSaturno may I ask you if you have your tattoo work on Instagram and if so may I take a look?
Love how she ignored this comment and similar comments but likes comments agreeing with her
I think the tattoo turned out great. Folks should be allowed to be particular about what they want... They just have to pay the right price to an artist that is willing to do that type of work
Thank you
no fr i think it looks great as well
Tattoos like Gabbie's usually actually cost less because they're done by tattoo artists who aren't competent enough to develop their own style and turn down or redesign tattoos that will fade and blur in the long run.
Yeah tattoo artist is trying to help the longevity of the tattoo. If you get something that will blur out, it will look really bad and you'll be upset that noone was looking out for you.
She's been trying to get it removed. 😮
the longer I watch this video the more I want to literally buy a plane ticket just to tell you that "It's her body, it's her choice" cause you don't seem to be picking it up.
I am not a Gabbie fan, but that tat is sick af. Wow if you were my tattoo artist, I would walk out on you. It is my body and I will put what I like on it. And idgaf if it is clip art. Who are you to judge what means what to who?
Honestly, this is more of a *judgment as a tattoo artist* kind of video, not a "what I'd say to her if she came in like this." & she's absolutely correct, dude. Our artists judge the shit out of us, all day everyday, they just don't say anything lol. I highly doubt she would ever say anything even close to this in real life.
@@kennedy570 they aren’t talking like the creator of this video but rather speaking but in a hypothetical situation about hypothetical tattoos artist. There’s no harm in @Lily M speaking about their hypothetical situation and what they’d say
You should gaf if it's _stolen_ clip art.
@@jfm14 nah if its off microsoft word or smth they're a company that can take that loss lol
I really dislike her but she literally knows what she wants and that is way better than some tattoo clients
But she doesnt know what she wants. People should go into a tattoo parlor knowing well that they arent going to get an exact design that you give your artist. Going in a really specific design big or small, your expectations of getting the exact copy makes you a bad client. Every artist has a distinct style and they will try their best to achieve what you want but it all depends on if they can get it as accurately as possible. Its best to give ideas and send examples to your artist and wait for them to come up with their own design to show prior to your appointment. Gabbie clearly wanted her own work which doesnt help the artist what so ever.
@@WiresConcept And that's why she clearly found an artist who was able to do exactly what she wanted, so what's the issue? There are still artists who will do your own design. Not talking about the ones who will blatantly rip off other artists' art, obviously, but if you draw something yourself and find an artist who is good at the style of your design and who is willing to do it, you will get exactly what you wanted. There's nothing wrong with that.
@Wait so I can put anything That's the dumbest take I've heard in a while. If you want something specific, you tell that to the tattoo artist and they will work with that and make it work as a tattoo. Most tattoo artists will ask you for as much detail about what you want and for reference pictures so they know what to design for you.
@Wait so I can put anything Yeah, I know how tattoos work, most of my body is covered with them. And most of them I had a very clear idea about what I want and worked with my tattoo artists with those ideas. I don't know why y'all feel the need to gatekeep people's tattoos lol. As long as they are not straight up ripping off other people's designs or just tracing, why do you get so defensive about people having a specific idea about their design? It's ridiculous. If someone knows exactly what they want and if they find a good artist who will work with that and make it a good tattoo, why are you so pressed about it?
@Wait so I can put anything Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A good artist will work with your idea and design and make it work. Obviously you might need to compromise, but at the same time you have to be firm and clear about what you want, because you might end up like that lady who ended up with a big ass leaf on her arm because she just "trusted the process". It's all about communication. Unless of course you go to an artist with the "surprise me" kinda mindset and give them total freedom. My friend did that with her tattoo artist twice and both times got a sick tattoo. But I'd do that only with an artist I really trust. I got mostly black and grey horror themed tattoos btw.
So what I’m getting from this video is the be the ‘best’ tattoo client you need to 1. Not have any idea what tattoo you want and have the artist pick and design it for you 2. Not make any suggestions or corrections to what the artist chooses 3. Not care at all about the placement of the tattoo 4. Make sure you have a lot of tattoos before you get one that’s visible because otherwise your artist with judge you….
This aspiring tattoo artist really gatekeeping tattoos for everyone ☠️
This comment right here
fully agree
This is a very dense comment
Yep. Got super bad vibe from her. So judgy. If you work w people and you arent even a tattoo artist yet should be more considirate. YOU WORK FOR PEOPLE not the way around. This way she wont have less to none clients
@@flynnware8946 what's dense about it exactly? Seems pretty reasonable.
I love how every tattoo artist speaks as if they're speaking for EVERY other tattoo artist out there. Everyone is different. Live with it.
This RUclipsr isn't a tattoo artist lol she's some random on the internet with a few bad tattoos.
I'm a tattooist and I'm completely fine with clients doing something like this, it's going on their skin forever, they have to be happy with it.
This is some real gatekeeper shit, you don't have to work in the industry to be creative and know what you want. This is infuriating to listen to.
Well said👏🏼
As a person who's wanted to be a tattoo artist for many years, I think this mentality of "oh they can't design their tattoo and just bring it into the shop" is total bs. If somebody has an exact image they want and they designed it, who am I to change it? I might talk about tweeking things if I don't think it'll work but there's nothing wrong with this tattoo and the final product actually looks pretty badass. I'm glad gabbie felt strong and bold enough to hold her ground when going to a tattoo artist to design her own tattoo
This girl is not an artist nor a tattooer... she is full of bs. You work with your cliënt/ artist. NEVER heard that you cannot bring in a design or an example. This girls will never be something. And a "real one" she should learnnot to bash people online... not good for your future clientèle
not to mention people who get sentimental things tattooed like a dog paw or a child’s drawing… the artist didn’t design that did they?
@@brcsephina i would hope not! Imagine entering a tattooshop and the "artist" is drawing stickfigures... i would die...
You're the type of person who would pressure a client into getting a tattoo they hate and regret for their whole lives. I know a lot of people who have been talked out of their own tattoo ideas by their tattoo artist and they immediately regretted the tattoo. You really shouldn't be allowed to do that to people.
I've been tattooed by an artist like this. Scoffed when I wanted to straighten up the placement after specifically asking for it to be in a straight line. It was a very simple tattoo but I wanted it done in a very specific way (as it is my body 😑) and I was not listened to because they thought they knew best. I still wish I would have just walked out before he ever put the needle to my skin...
You’re right, definitely shouldn’t be allowed to talk people out of a tattoo that will be a smudge in 2 years, definitely better to give the client no professional advice and just take their money.
@@jimboslice5551 Yeah but they don't have to be a jerk about it, you know? There's a way to steer the client in the right direction without totally derailing their idea.
Imagine looking annoying next to Gabby Hannah Lmfaoo. It’s her body you don’t need to go to “tattoo appreciation” school to get one.
My thoughts exactly, she made Gabbie look good, oops
Right??? I can’t believe she made me side with Gabby😩
I have bipolar disorder and have had it for a couple years, this is exactly what a manic episode looks like, the rushing into the tattoo, having to remind herself why it’s a good decision, and then the defending of her decision. Literally something in her head is telling her not to do it and it may be a mistake but she’s pushing it aside because of how excited she made herself. She fixated on getting this tattoo for a week it sounds like, after thinking about something 24/7 she’s getting all that positive reaffirmation from herself to do it, and it definitely sounds like she forgets all the information she fixes on and has to re-remind herself that this is a good decision. This is a manic episode. The signs are so clear I wish someone would’ve sat with her to help. The responsible thing would’ve been to schedule the tattoo 3-6 months away so she could have time to fixate on something else and then see if she still thinks it’s a good idea.
I have bipolar disorder and this is exactly what I was thinking
I have severe ADHD and when I’m in an impulsive mood, it’s very close to being manic. I’m hyper, quick to anger or show excitement, and suddenly I have to get things I think will make me feel better. Things that when I swing to the other side, I regret getting. This is why I don’t have tattoos- I can’t promise I wouldn’t get the nerve up to get one, then regret it the next week. 😅 My therapist has a bipolar diagnosis waiting in the wings but we’re making sure it isn’t the ADHD first. If this treatment doesn’t work we’ll go from there.
she is getting it removed now!
Amazing and concerning how everyone in this comment section is missing all the red flags. 🚩🚩🚩
@@jfm14 what red flags are we missing?
I'm grateful for the artist I came across because I didn't hear any weirdness from him about doing the design the way I drew it...
He gave me suggestions on placement and of course he is talented, so he made it look better. But it's very bizarre to expect someone to pay you and then tell them they can't participate in the process of marking their own body for life. Seems pretentious and selfish. I haven't come across anyone who was upset that I drew something. It helps the artist along.
This girl is just a stuck-up artist, I swear to god. She will get nowhere in life with her attitude. Artists that earn money are either really, REALLY good at what they do and have a style that's great enough for people to want their original work or they just make stuff that people like and get paid for it. Girls like these draw their designs and earn nothing from it cause no one wants them. What she said in this video is absolutely ridiculous. Her service takes 2-10 hours while the person will have the tattoo for the rest of their lives. A normal person just bites the bullet and does it. Like literally everyone else in other jobs. Programmers don't like working overtime yet most do. Graphic designers hate it when clients want changes made to a finished design for the 11th time, yet they still do it.
Same. This girl sounds vile and her own tattoos look dull and generic. Avoid wherever she works
same, my artist wanted me to check out everything to make sure i was comfortable with the placement and design. glad not all are like her
Same here! Mine was very receptive to me designing my own and only made improvements where it was impossible to retain my designs. I appreciated that.
This felt weirdly gatekeep-y about tattoos. I’m not terribly covered but if I went into a shop and wanted to get my hands tattooed (as I have been considering) I would be absolutely hurt if this is the energy the shop had. I get some people can have intentions of popularity but even if that is the case what does it matter? Very much the “we didn’t get that freedom so you should be ashamed you have it now” energy and Im not a fan.
exactly toxic asf
It's a really common mindset in tattoo shops. Having a throat or hand tattoo is still a huge social taboo and it will change the way you walk through life. Most artists will turn down hands or throats on ppl who aren't heavily tattooed for that reason alone. A lot of tattoo shops are gatekeepy too. Artists want to see ppl have earned rocking those spots, especially because that skin isn't the easiest to work with - it's painful and doesn't behave as well as something like an arm or a leg. Someone who isn't heavily tattooed normally just doesn't sit as well in the chair. It also just kind of sets a bad example for a culture that's already trying to be seen as legitimate in society. I don't think it's necessarily Celle's opinion - it's just a reality in tattoo shops. I've worked in them for years and have seen ppl get turned down weekly for hand and throat tattoos when someone doesn't have anything else on display. Artists don't like doing them on ppl who are newer to tattoos.
@@weinerherz0g well i hope they lose customers in a time where luxuries like this will become rare
@@weinerherz0g Yup. 👍
@@weinerherz0g I hear your reason, but the reason someone may decide on a more painful, more visible spot first should be none of your business as the artist. Personally, I understand in terms of being responsible for quality work and your name being connected. But in case of someone older starting with places like the neck/hands/head, that could very well be a purpose to get the most painful things tatted before your too old to stand it. So many things keep people from getting tattoos... Finding experience with certain skin tones that match a preferred style and their a good artist/person is quite hard. Now let's add in finding an individual that isn't judging me based on my lack of exposed ink. In short, it's prejudice at best and a tad bit separatist. Everyone can do better at understanding.
“She’s probably doing it just for the shock factor and probably doesn’t have a genuine interest in tattoos”
Gabby starts explaining why she chose each bug and what it represents and means to her personally..
“Now she’s just explaining random stuff about bugs”
Girl what?? Which is it? 😂 It clearly means something to her and isn’t JUST for “shock value”. And even if it doesn’t mean anything so what?
I don’t have any visible tattoos and I got my fingers tatted because I love the way it looks, and I don’t regret it one bit and get so many compliments on them ☺️
Some people genuinely like the way it looks In a certain place and want a tattoo there . We all have to start somewhere .. it’s silly to say you HAVE to get tattoos everywhere else before you get one in a very visible place
Also, somewhere so visible like on your throat where you’re going to wake up and see it every day and everyone else is going to see it, damn straight you should micro manage every little detail
Like are we really going to gatekeep tattoos and call people bad clients for micro managing to be exactly how they want it? I think that’s silly but you do you I guess
fr lmao. this youtuber really thought she ate. 💀
Well gaby started to get them removed after 5 months of having those tattoos lmao
Gabby literally got her tattoos lasered off after 5 months of having them, clearly it was an impulsive act in getting them. And it contradicts what she was saying before on why she didn't want the fade away tattoos. Getting laser done is a lot of upkeep and appointments, and no one who loves the art of tattooing would almost instantly get them lasered off.
girl that neck tattoo design looks more original and unique than anything i can see on your upper body.
ouch 🤣
Nah, those bugs look like clip art. And they're stolen, so there's that.
@@jfm14 Clip art is usually public domain or available for commercial use for a one time licensing fee of like $10 a month for the whole site.
Her upper body looks like a really tacky tattoo from the 80s.
Weird video tbh especially given the timing. Not a fan of her but I think she definitely thoroughly thought out her design and placement, which as people getting the tattoo we should do! And as long as her tattoo artist agrees, then what’s the big deal?
nothing honestly i think she just wanted a reason to sit on her high horse cause ya know she’s the tattoo pro here
Realistically, the very small images with very thin lines, with the placement on the neck, will end up “bleeding out.” Meaning, it’ll get blurry looking rather quickly & would need a lot of upkeep. There are limitations as to what a tattoo artist can do in terms of size & detail. Idk why this creator didn’t go into that aspect more, it’s the main issue with gabby’s design. Otherwise it would be fine.
Appreciate you mentioning the timing a lot. As a bipolar person tattoos are a serious impulse decision a lot of us struggle with having clarity over when we’re not well. I have one of the dumbest meme tattoos ever on my ankle and if the artist made a vid dragging it like this after, it would feel so tone deaf and hurtful
Her tattoo looks great. You sound so snobby towards other artists
definitely snobby asf
I'm not necessarily a "fan" of Gabby's content, But my story is: My best friend and I are artists, we know how to draw & we designed our own "twin" tattoos. We had brought them into the shop we went into, the tattoo artists actually loved them, but were honest with us when there were a few adjustments that were recommended that we make, coming from their experienced knowledge about tattoos. They were fantastic to work with.
THAT'S the attitude & behavior I respect and appreciate from tattoo artists. This girl here, needs to take somewhat of a step back and recognize that a customer bringing in their own design is not a bad thing.
When you're paying a lot of money to have permanent art tattooed on your body, along with going through any pain that follows, Earning that tattoo... I would absolutely HOPE that I would see a tattoo artist be aware of this & wouldn't get "annoyed" if a customer wants it a certain way.
There Can come a point, where if the customer seems too indecisive, then it should be suggested that they can always reschedule, think about it, and also be assured that it's completely okay to make the official decision later in the future, if not do it at all.
Getting a tattoo is a permanent inked commitment.
So with all that being said, if any of you have read this far, thank you.
I'm actually in training to become a tattoo artist and hope to get an official apprenticeship next year.
Did I pass the vibe check?
-Cheers y'all 🤙
Passed 100%
@@cyphurengines2693 , Thank you much 🙏. I greatly appreciate you reading my words.
You’re being so judgmental. This video was a great one to see how just because someone is wanting to be a tattoo artist doesn’t mean they’re the artist for you. Thank you to the artist who actually did the tattoo (and got paid for it) and good for Gabby getting something she’s happy with.
videos like this by tattoo artists make me scared to get more tattoos lol. I already have so much anxiety about it and I would be even more anxious if I had a tattoo artist get annoyed w me for being particular about something that’s gonna be on my body forever. Also posting this while she seems to be in active psychosis is kinda weird.
I've always brought in my own pics and or ideas and artist has never had a problem. You have every right to be particular.
If the tattoo artist is annoyed at client for being particular they shouldn't be a tattoo artist
yeah it’s pretty gross she’s using her mental state for clicks
Research research research! and find the artist that you feel will best meet your vision. But at the end of the day you must be aware that your idea could be interpreted in a way that you didn’t necessarily envision, that’s just the reality of creating art. I keep a general idea, and then I open myself to what my tattoo artist thinks as well. I see it more as a collaborative effort. And I embrace the differences from what I had in mind. It makes the tattoo more special.
@@thebestgirl1545 rrriiiigghttt because you would know what they should be and how to act. when you have made 20 stencils and they micro manage it constantly after hours of placement that ends up them liking it in the exact same spot you first put it ours ago the artist has every right to be pissed off. this has literally happened to me. and after an hour or more of putting it on taking it off putting on another stencil taking up my resources i told her to leave, this is not wrong for me to do because if she was that unsure of where to put it she shouldn't be here trying to get it and wasting my time and resources, time is money and restocking also costs money. that is what people forget it costs the artist money to continue to pander to you and printing stencils out and so on.
This video really rubbed me the wrong way. Just like, elitist and judge-y vibes. She’s clearly been consulting a professional. Yeah, she’s cringe, but who cares? Let people be excited about their tattoos. The whole “tattoo artists judge ppl for not having many tatts then getting a really visible one” comment made me roll my eyes as well. If I only wanted a tattoo in a specific, really visible place, why would I get them in other places first?
I didn't catch the visible tattoo comment. That is weird.
I kinda got a bit of a snooty vibe from this video, myself.
how is she even cringe.. like youre still being rude
Oh god I would never get a tattoo from you. A tattoo artist would only be working on that tattoo for a certain amount of time but the person lives with it their entire life. There’s nothing wrong in getting it done how you want it. Just like getting your hair or nails done, the stylist can give their opinion but they always give what the clients want.
you're gonna be the type of tattoo artist who pressures people to get tattoos they don't like
…wow. They’re still treating tattoos like a right to passage I see. Like goodness. It’s a damn finger. It’s a damn design. We can’t have what we want now?
right? this girl is really gate keeping tattoos LMAO
lots of tattoo artists do but it’s a little surprising coming from people who stand on “we can do what we want with our bodies - let me decorate my canvas” “but you can’t you have to earn it”
Tattoos have been popular for a while now it’s not something you have to hide anymore, sadly artists are becoming the ones judging and gatekeeping people for tattoos now???
@rose tea my point still stands
@Wait so I can put anything I don't think tattoo artists have their name attached to their work. As soon as you leave the shop it doesn't matter who did the thing, you never think of the artist again and noone ever asks.
@@evanjuleen I’ve been asked who’s done my tattoos multiple times 🤷🏻♀️

Naw a good tattoo artist is going to tell you you're being ridiculous and that your design is shit. Shes gonna have 3 blurry bugs by the time shes 35
But someone is entirely within their rights to say “no I don’t want to do it”
@@moosedraw3731 ok but no one ever mentioned that, like. where.
This is basically like walking into a cake shop saying 'hi i saw this design on pinterest and did a little editing to make it just what I want, can you do it?' and the baker going 'you clearly have no interest in the art of cake decorating, get out of my face you faker'
Tell me you were mean in high school without telling me😀 this gives “pick me”, and “I know everything”
I bet she was a hella bully too
I was bullied in school and this woman does not strike me as a bully _at all._
This is why I’m particular about my tattoo artist. I’m not a Gabby fan but if I’m putting permanent art on my body of course I’m going to get what I want. If you want to just do free style art then just do that. Based off this video I would never go to your shop.
Hell yea im gonna be particular about a tattoo that's permanent and very noticeable. Also I would never get a tattoo from someone who is huffing and puffing annoyed at me. Not putting bad energy permanently on my body.There are really great artists who willingly do the work and they get compensated handsomely.
I don’t agree with you when you say she’s wrong to test design and composition. It helps a lot for tattoo artist to have a clear idea of what the customer wants. For example if she just come to a shop and said « Hi I want I want bugs on my neck », there is no much informations, no size, no composition, not even what type of bugs she wants and what things she wants to incorporate in. I think her idea to try all those combination was a great idea because she was able to know what she really wants, and the tattoo artist can for sure design it in his style. Because it was juste about the composition and what types of bugs she wants. If she says she wants a morpho to 10 artists, all 10 artists would’ve come with there own design, and then she just have to pick the one she prefers. It’s better to come with a clear idea of what you want (but still leaving some freedom to the artist about the design because you book this artist for his style) than someone who wants something but doesn’t really know what he wants and is incapable to give you the basic information and then is not happy with the design because the tattoo artist did not had enough element to do exactly what the customer wanted
Yea, thats kinda crazy. Like wtf if i want to draw something and have that specific design on me dont tell me i shouldnt. In the end their job is to tattoo what i want not a passion project. If they want to do that give me a discount and well talk about it lol. But if the artists says these little details may not be a good idea it wise to listen as something like gabbys tattoo is gonna look rough in a few years due to it being insanely fine lined and small.
The problem is that she WASN'T just "testing" or playing around with the design & composition, she designing EXACTLY what she wants. Once someone's put that amount of time & effort into their design it tends to become very meaningful and it's very difficult to convince them to make any changes, even if the design won't work as is. There's nothing wrong with designing your own tattoo and you are absolutely correct that the more information you can give your artist about what you want, the better BUT! Generally speaking, if you want to design it yourself you will need either some experience with tattooing, to understand what is & isn't possible, or some input from your chosen artist. If she'd brought her "design" to a good artist as an idea to be worked with, rather than a finished piece to be tattooed & she was able to articulate what she liked about it (these particular bugs, this order, this overall shape) she'd have come out with a much better tattoo imo. The best tattoos are a collaboration between you and the artist 💜
I have also met a few tattoo artists that expect there to be no changes to the design you bring them, and in fact, will act like a dick if you try and change it. I know that not what’s taught nowadays, but tattoo ‘culture’ can really change depending on location or age… so yeah uhhhh make sure you WANT what you want, it’s really not the tattoo artists decision unless it’s a technical issue😭 if that means using procreate to visualize something basic then do it
I think you missed the point
Not everyone picks eir tatoo artist for their style. Some of us pick it because of their skill to do exactly the design we bring without adding their style.
You sure have a lot to say for someone who is still tattooing orange peels and pig skin lmao
😂
LMAO GIRL- u arent wrong tho
i dont understand the issue woth desogning a tattoo yourself. if you want something particular on your body why should you have to settle for something someone else drew that might not capture ypur vision?
I think if you want to be a good tattoo artist you need to be comfortable with feedback and accepting the customer wants the tattoo to be exactly how they want it to be. The customer shouldn't be discouraged from directing you during the process if they need to inform you of precise details, the customer is the one who will have it for their whole life. If you're not comfortable tattooing someone you can say no, but you should be worried if someone is not going to speak up during the process - if they need you to be more aware or adjust something but they don't tell you, then they're just jeopardising their permanent body modification to flatter you as an authority on the process - you are a medium to help someone without your skill, not a strict authority that can dictate how all tattoos should be. When someone is getting a haircut they're free to give feedback and ask for more precise adjustments, and hair grows back - a tattoo is permanent. A good tattoo artist would want feedback, and be patient and understanding to produce the desired result, not strict and insulted by the customers own vision.
1000% agree with this
exactly
notice how she is ignoring the massive amount of comments agreeing with this general subject but hearts ones agreeing with her lmfao
This is really good feedback I hope she sees it.
This felt less like “I don’t like her choices” than “I just don’t like her”
How would you feel if you went to the salon to get your hair dyed and the hair stylist said no not black I makes you look a bit peaky and pale let's do blonde instead?
How would you feel if the painter came back with a different color paint then the one you paid for because he thinks his idea is better?
What would you do if while you were getting rung up at the mall the cashier says she didn't like the clothes you picked out, she knows what works w your figure?
All of those combined wouldn’t even be as bad as a tattoo artist putting their input into something that’s on your body for life 😭 love these comparisons though, it gets the point across to those who don’t get that micro managing is fine.
Hair colorists do that all the time, though. Bad comparison.
@@jfm14 Dang, what kind of rude hair stylists are you going to 😂 I've been getting my hair dyed for 15+ years in a ton of different locations and have switched between blonde, brown, black, and red many times--never once has any stylist made a negative comment about the color unless I specifically asked them if they thought something else would look better. Stay away from whoever was that rude to you!! Definitely not a normal experience.
She keeps talking about the super deep symbolism of the stag beetle (which is the image she used), but everything she mentions is actually symbolism for the scarab beetle which is a completely different beetle. She specifically refers to egyptian and greek myths, but stag beetles are not generally found around the mediterranean because they're forest dwellers. That's why mediterranean myths center around scarab beetles that are desert dwellers and were much more prevalent in those areas.
like why is "designing" your own tattoo something that only tattoo artists should do when its something you're putting on your body forever. true i wouldn't be able to do it without the artists and its the artists crafts that makes is possible but how does my personal design takeaway from that? WHY CANT I MIRCOMANAGE THE PEICE ON MY BODY FOREVER lol
I wholeheartedly agree. This lady sounds like a total control freak and she's not even a tattoo artist yet! lol
@@Lunabyes Exactly.
Right? This whole "don't design your own tattoo" opinion is so weird and controlling, especially coming form someone who isn't even an artist yet. And even from an actual tattoo artist it would sound stupid. If I know exactly what I want and have the skills to draw or otherwise design it, I'll do it, and a lot of artist will appreciate, the clearer your idea, the better for them to understand what you want. And either I will find an artist with the same style who is willing to do my design, or I will show the design to an artist and ask them to redo it in their style.
You can design your own tattoo, but the artist will most of the time make further suggestions that need or should be considered - if not, you’ll end up with a fineline tattoo that might not last at the particular body part you want it to be.
You absolutely can micromanage your tattoo & if you see any artist saying some of the bs she is saying.. just leave the building & find a professional lol
celle the heart and thorn crown is from the internet your roses are from the internet, you can't shit on people when you have done the same. it took me one google search to find your sacred heart design.

Old school style artists LOVE to claim that they're all original and forget every artist is inspired by something 🙃
Danny and Drew both came from vine and they are sweet nice kings and we love them. Don't over generalize an enter apps users some are really good RUclipsrs now
It's wierd how you're saying it's bad because she's just picking pictures off the internet. But you sit there and say that with a sacred heart tattoo on you ur arm which is one of the most common tatts around, not to mention the rose bouquet on your shoulder. Yea that's wasn't pointed at and picked from the thousands of designs of those 2 tattoos.
Right? I mean it’s one thing to show up and show a picture of a really original looking piece with lots of intricate details and designs and it’s clearly well thought out and designed by the artist.. and be like, I want this.. that’s definitely copying/stealing someone else’s art
But they’re literally just tiny bugs lol. A bee can only look so different from another 😂 and it’s on the internet as clip art for a reason. For other people to use. I mean sure the tattoo artist could draw up a small little bee but you can only make it look so unique
Idk why she has such an issue with people finding what they like online and wanting it 🙄
Random images of bugs you found on the internet🤣🤣
Girl where else are you supposed to find images of bugs? I'll just take my full encyclopedia of insects to the artist shall I lmao
They weren’t just random pictures tho. They were drawings, as in someone else drew them and she took them.
I'm not tattooed but every single time I've been to a tattoo shop they have whole books of literal clip art from google for you to choose from. This is a big part of the reason I haven't gotten one because I feel like its very hard to find an actual artist.

@@rockabillymuffin what part of "stock reference image of google" did you not get.
@@rockabillymuffin here we have kids using words they dont know the definition of
Up until recently I've always been hesitant to send my own designs for reference to artists before getting them tattooed, purely because I didn't want to be that nightmare client. For my most recent tattoo, I did send one of my own designs along with a few other ideas, and when I got to the shop, the design that the artist herself did was very similar to my own with her own spin on it, and I couldn't have been happier. I mentioned it to her, and she actually encountered me to keep doing that, because as an artist, she just wanted to do whatever makes the client happiest. Now, I'm not a tattoo artist, so I know that they know much better than me when it comes to what works better, so I allow for a lot of creative input. But sending designs for reference is kinda essential if you're gonna be 100% happy with the tattoo. Obviously with Gabbie she sent in a very specific design, the artist might not want to copy and paste. But sending exactly what you want can also be a good thing at times.
i feel like sending a very particular design and references and then letting the artist create their own piece of art based on that is the perfect combination. it makes perfect sense to do that and easier for the artist too in my opinion, they don't have to copy exactly just use as a guide. rather than having to verbally explain all the details and placements and HOPE they get my vision... they can see my design and tweak it as they see fit.
I think she’s smart to do a little app design and picture of the tattoo onto her body. She’s not being “too particular” or a bad client she’s being clear. Tattoo artists get away with basically bullying people who aren’t like them and every time I’ve gotten tattoos with friends it feels like the aesthetic of the employee is to just be super rude and let the artist “do their job” aka not give more input and let them pick what they want- even tho it’s going on your body for the rest of your life. That’s silly- let the person bring in their own design and know where they want it
overall this video just seems really catty, especially since she’s clearly going through a manic episode right now.
you keep reiterating that she’s being too picky, you would turn her down, etc… honestly i would not want you to tattoo me after seeing how judgemental you acted in this
I totally agree, she feels really mean and judgmental.
I understand micro-managing tattoos b/c it is a permanent decision for the most part unless you plan on removing it for multiple sessions. It makes sense as to why some people would overthink it b/c they don't wan't to pay for painful bad art on their body. I get how it could be annoying tho
I didn't micromanage and regret that. I will try to explain to the tattoo artist what I want "corrected" in an additional session, but I need to save up first and in the meantime be unhappy about it :/ So my advice to people is alsways: Be nice while you are being very particular, but don't be afraid to do so, because otherwise you'll regret it.
Exactly what I was thinking. As long s they aren’t being rude and nasty about it, “micromanaging” just sounds like making sure a huge permanent decision is exactly what you want. A lot of ppl feel pressured to go along with what a tattoo artists says even if they don’t actually really like it beside they don’t want to be a bother or seem over bearing.
It really depends. Of course it is very understandable to a degree. Taking 10 hours because you're micromanaging for what could have been done in maybe 4 including consultation is bad because the artist essentially loses money when spending so much extra time on you. If you intend to take up much more time or have a lot of special requests etc. maybe consider tipping your artist a significant amount more than one nornally would.
I agree but it's not like she was "micromanaging" her artist. She took the time to do it herself BY herself.
@@B0OBIES for the design, sure, but she wasted HOURS of the artist's time repeatedly reapplying the stencil and making corrections etc. Whilst there's nothing wrong with that by itself (absolutely do advocate for yourself and say if something isn't right), I REALLY hope she paid the artist for a full day and tipped them otherwise doing that tattoo cost the artist the best part of a full day's work.
Wait, did she say that at this point she’s not even a real tattoo artist yet?? She has a lot to say for an apprentice 🐸🍵
Is she even an apprentice?
Girl, have you even tattooed a single living human being? Where are you in your apprenticeship? Where do you get off with your holier-than-thou attitude? Man it rubbed me the wrong way. She's the one who has to live with it for the rest of her life. Let her deal with it. No one needs your judgement.
I'm rather heavily tattooed except my arms and chest because I kept them free for work purposes and am just now starting to cover them. But back, hips, legs are all covered. But would I get judgment since I have "no visible" tattoos unless in shorts and a tank? Even though I've spent thousands of dollars and countless hours on a tattoo bed?
There is nothing wrong with designing your own tattoo. I've done it because I didn't know how to explain it and I wanted to make sure it was understood. It became a wonderful collaborative effort with their suggestions and tweaks. And you best believe I'm going to be Hella picky with placement. I'm the one who is stuck with it FOREVER. If I feel it's wonky from certain angles or movements, sorry. You have to redo it. It's also what I'm paying for. I'm also a living breathing business card. People do see my art work and I share who did it. If I felt like I was an inconvenience to the artist I would also share that. I do tell people about my experiences. From start to finish and there are artists who I rave more about since they were lovely and wonderful to work with. It's the whole experience.
I would pass on you. Even if you were a full fledged artist, I'm sure I could find someone who could do what you do and easier to work with.
That is a great point about being a living business card. If the tattoer treats me like shit and it's too late for me to walk out, damn straight I'm going to tell everyone how much I disliked the process.
I've walked out of shops because the artist did not vibe the right way. Had I listened to my gut the first time, I would've ended up with a better tattoo somewhere else, not needing a cover up later on. Also I've brought various pics of other tattoos online for my artist, being very particular about what I want and not settling on something that is PERMANENT. What one artist wont do, another will gladly. I just dont see the point of making a video to pick on ONE person's tattoo journey. Let the woman do her. Kicking people while their down and nit picking isn't really admirable to watch.
I’m not a tattoo artist, but I do art/design. I drew my tattoo, and the experience was positive. I can see why an artist might want to sketch from scratch, considering the differences between a design on paper versus its tattoo translation onto the body, but I think if you’re open to those tweaks, there are artists who will be accommodating. I don’t think it’s all black and white, but I’m really glad I drew my own, and didn’t want others to feel discouraged from a similar approach. It’s like seeing something in your own handwriting and it reminds me of how I feel when I draw when I look at it.
I'm also an artist and I have done the same thing. Celle was making me worried I had done something super irritating. I will def approach this in a more considerate way in the future tho.
Thank you for this comment. I’m a tattoo virgin and an artist so I was planning to draw my designs. I want to basically sketch an idea with the layout etc and ask a tattoo artist to draw their design from it. Basically like a visual idea of what I want (I’m not the greatest with telling what I want with words). From the video, I was afraid it was a big no no.
I’m a tattoo artist and love when other artists bring in their own artwork to get done. I love bouncing ideas off of them and we usually come up with something super creative and unique in the end .
thank you!! my entire life i have made mixed media art books and decided i wanted to look like one of my own art pieces. my art is my life and you would think celle would understand that being a tattoo artist but apparently her art is everyones life too lmfao
Exactly this. I was getting worried and I was scared everyone in the comments would start trashing people who draw their own tattoos as someone who does it since I'm an Illustrator myself but yeah. So far my tattoo artists have had no issue with me bringing my own designs and if anything they just say that it might need to be bigger than I expected it for my art to look good. After all, you are paying for their time and abilities, of course they want you to walk out with the design you are happy with no matter who the artists was.
So many people clearly missed the point, and the people who are putting words in her mouth, or trying to justify acting like an entitled asshole, stop outing yourselves. She wasn't calling you out, so why are you so defensive? Oh. Because you act exactly like this and think it's okay because it's on your body.
Being particular is cool, being picky is cool, & I'll even give you not wanting to collaborate with the artist & instead wanting a copy of a picture you got from clip art.
What's not okay is being loud & rude, refusing to listen to your artists recommendations, wasting your artists time, waiting to make your final decision on whether or not you want the fucking thing while standing in front of said artist, making them wait for you, being loud and screaming or being obnoxious while other clients& artists are in the room, not allowing them to concentrate...yall know what is and isn't acceptable. It shouldn't have to be said, but since so many of yall purposely missed the point so you can argue about the ethics of being an entitled asshole and justifying being such...I figured I'd reiterate.
😂
I agree with everyone and sidenote there is definitely a correlation between high anxiety/stress and increased pain levels. As manic as she might be, I don't think Gabby is inherently stupid.
...wow gee you dont think so *eye roll (still so rude of you to say lmfao)
"Youre just having them tattoo bugs you found on the internet at that point."
Okay, but what if that is what the client wants? If the artist wants to be able to have creative control over every tattoo they put on someone, they can. But they also need to remember that they will be losing a lot of money bc so many people lnow exactly what they want, they want clip art roses and bugs.
They wouldn't be losing at all, because people that want that are going to go to some basic cheap as hell traditional tattoo shop that will happily take their money and tattoo that shit on the spot. Any reputable artist wouldn't copy and paste images directly from the internet and slap it on your body. Also most artist these days have their own style they won't tattoo out of, so you can give reference images of what you want to them but they'll make you a custom design in their style from that.
@@m234as stfu, trace "that shit", take the money, move on.
What's so terrible about that. Like, are tattoo artists really *that* pretentious in 2022, they can't even literally do their job? Y'all are glorified tracers, guys. It is a skill, but y'all ain't Van Gogh, and that's ok. Your job is to put images on people's bodies and trace them permanently, according to the customer's specifications.
Time to resize that ego, 'cause in case you haven't noticed, ain't nobody getting richer but bezos&co. And some day, not so long from now, chances are the ones surviving in the tattoo business ain't gonna be the "reputable artists" who "wouldn't copy and paste images directly from the internet and slap it on your body".
@@m234as I've had friends that have gone to expensive artists to get well down clip art tattoos. There are plenty of good tattoo artists that are willing to do good pintrest tattoos. Not everyone is as invested in the culture. Some people just enjoy doing tattoos and like making money. And they aren't any lesser than the artists that refuse to do pinstrest tattoo, they just serve a different clientele.
I'm really confused about this lol. I think the client is entitled to EVERYTHING, where they want the tattoo to sit, sizing, even the exact design. They're paying a ton of money for artwork they love that's gonna be on their body forever and not to mention the pain during the process. I drew out my tattoo and my artist looked at it and kept the concept the same but honestly did a way better job and I was like no of course let's use your drawing instead. But after the tattoo was done I realized he made typos and other errors on it. Which shouldn't have happened if he actually traced out my writing or paid better attention to what I wrote. 🙄 Also I think this is even more so the case with people getting their first bigger tattoo it's super thought out and then once you get more and more of them done you don't care as much you just want a tattoo
It's on you though to make final approval. So he may have made the mistakes, but how did you not catch them?
@@MissEmily1129 yeah I realize that. It was a huge tattoo convention, I assumed most tattoo artist know their Roman numerals, I don't know Roman numerals I only looked them up when I see it out so I didn't memorize it. So to me X's,V's, and i's look the same to me. I was just excited to be getting my first bigger piece so I played it and he got started. 🙄 So yeah my bad BUTT he should've also double checked his speech to match mine
Does the artist's professional reputation not count for anything? They're not there to bend to your every whim, it's an exchange of service for money. It sounds like you just went to a bad tattoo artist, which is a completely different experience than going to a competent artist.
While I do agree that there is a healthy middle ground that may have not been entirely well represented by this video, I think the main reasons for changes in tattoo designs are for durability and to make sure the aging process goes well - since tattoos are liquid ink placed in malleable skin, eventual blurring and "blobbing" occurs to fine lines that are close together, so (even with competent artist) the clients design may have too many intricate details in close proximity. In cases like these, I truly think the tattoo artist is just trying to look out for their clients satisfaction in healed and long lasting tattoos! :) (ofc moderation is important and an extremist stance will always pose problems, but there's a healthy middle ground somewhere)
Oh look, someone else using Gabbie Hanna for clicks! Girl bye
Waiting for the apology vid for this video
I don’t like Gabby, but this is basic design process. And you know what? Her design genuinely fucking rocks. It’s balanced, it’s ordered, it’s themed, it’s beautiful. I have no idea why you’re so convinced she’s somehow missing a step? These are all things a tattoo designer would do. You’re just miserable and catty.
omg calm down
@@just_lizziee Calm down? What? This is a basic response to a girl who spent half an hour picking apart a stranger for nothing, and is giving terrible advice to people who want tattoos. She’s promoting bad business practice too
@@leaddust5539 seriously! She's sitting here saying if someone comes in with their own designed tattoo she'll turn them away... FOR WHAT? Maybe she just wants the extra money for doing the design and she's trying to justify it
i totally agree. there's a lot to criticize gabby for but her tattoo process isn't one of them.
@@leaddust5539 no you're right my bad. I don't think I actually considered what u were saying.
this feels really nit-picky and exploitative consider what she’s currently going through.
like, yeah, she’s kinda pretentious about it, but it’s a permanent and very visible mark on her body.
it only makes sense for someone who isn’t/doesn’t want to be absolutely covered in tattoos to want the ones that they do have to be the best they can be as they’re more visible with nothing else to distract from them.
Exactly! The timing of this video could not have been worse. I get the feeling she only wanted her as a client to later exploit her. Its not right at all!
It's a shame that you commented that a week ago.. because now there's been time to prove that Gabbi is on her shit again
I'm pretty sure she just had a very successful little PR stunt so
You can make your appointment without saying we need to defend her.. she's being racist, sexist, and her little bugs on her neck are like the least of her concerns
@@xenaxaz6964 at no point in my comment did i say that anyone needed to defend her. i said that the video was uncalled for and she has a right to be picky.
i also said that the video was in poor taste and i stand by that regardless of what’s come out since. doesn’t matter if it turned out to just be all for show. no one could’ve known that for sure at the time, so the video was still exploiting someone we believed was in serious distress.
Of course you'd bring in your own design for your tattoo. It's your tattoo. I am not your canvas. I'm a human whos paying you to put what I want on my body for the rest o my life. After I leave the tattoo shop I never think of you again and noone asks who did the tattoo unless it's bad.
I don’t like gabby, but she’s not in the wrong this time. Micromanaging your tattoo to a certain degree isn’t a bad thing. In fact, I’d be concerned if there wasn’t much thought put into it. I can understand how that would seem annoying to a tattoo artist, but ultimately, they’re getting paid by the client, so if they do have an issue, either suck it up or refuse to do it 🤷♀️
Kinda weird hearing you say all that stuff honestly. Most of my family including myself have drawn all my tattoos, and had them photoshopped where I wanted them, and my artist didn’t have a problem at all. Might have to do with that fact that he’s an older guy, and just does exactly what I want. 🤷🏽
Your example isn’t nearly the same as what Gabbie did
Yeah this was a weird take from her.
So basically what any rational and good tattoo artist does.
Gabbie didn't draw those, no?
honestly and imo her tattoos ain’t even too great either so not sure why she thinks she’s a pro 💀
why are tattoo artists judging clients for getting visible tattoos?
Ikr, it’s one thing for the professionals to have concerns like “it’s your first tattoo you don’t have a lot of experience, or you’re not stable I your jobs, and it’s visible, do you want to get something less visible to test it out first”, and another thing like her being “you want visible tattoos you’re just attention seeking”
Blatantly ignoring that Gabi is exhibiting symptoms of Bipolar 1 disorder and just being really judgey instead... wtf?
Not to mention making money off the video. It's gross
I really don't think it is fair to say she is a bad client for designing her own tattoo, it is her body at the end of the day and tattoo artists aren't entitled to just tattoo what they want on someones body, unless that's what the client has agreed to, it just seemed like a little bit of bias showing here.. I have no idea who this person is or what drama she was involved with but it does feel like there was some initial negative feelings toward this person that is showing through in this video if I'm honest. As an artist if someone commissions a piece of work from me, I dont' expect to make what I want, its for the client, its their commission ,right? I want them to be happy with it. I understand that if there are issues with that tattoo that the artist needs to explain and alter but that should be obvious.. I get she might be a little annoying but it seemed a little harsh is all. I also don't really think it's anyone's business but her own, whether she regrets it in future or not, once again, its literally her body...
notice how she is ignoring all the comments about this general subject (that shes gatekeeping and nitpicking) but has hearted others agreeing with her lmao
@@sharks9555 lol fr i know she sees these comments too 💀
Seems like you’re kind of just hating and gatekeeping and you’re not even a professional yet…
no yeah... like what was the point
"Leave it to the professionals" is not good advice when we are talking tattoos. It should be a conversation, not letting the tattoo artist do whatever with your design. I have 2 tattoos that were wrecked by the "creative liberty" the artist took. (Okay not wrecked but my heart sank when I saw it.) Another one the tattoo artist literally replaced watercolour drops with colorful sperms...
So to be judged a bad client by someone who wasn't there is pretty unfair. Especially when you don't know where she went or to whom she went.
after all that, she's getting all her tattoos removed 😆🤣
She’s going through a manic episode? I’m sorry this video is awful. Read up on mental health before you judge people, or at least try read the room. Especially before you make a video on them. Can’t believe this.
it’s literally so gross fr
I don't think it's fair to judge someone who doesn't have training in the tattoo industry for not approaching something like a tattoo artist or from an artist's perspective. I think it's up to the artist to communicate certain information and I don't think it's fair to immediately say that she's a bad client because she wants to play a part in the creative process. Like you said earlier in the video, I feel like people judge her a lot harder over things than that if she was someone else, people would let slide or be more compassionate. There's nothing wrong with having intense feelings behind a tattoo or wanting it to be meaningful. I do think gabbie is going through a lot and is spiraling and needs to get off social media, but this video felt like it set out to judge and make her the enemy no matter what. So many people have neck tattoos I don't understand why tiktok is so up in arms about it, and why does it matter if someone chooses a visible tattoo as a first one? Who fucking cares? Who is anyone to say what someone's intentions are? Why gatekeep a fucking tattoo placement? You made a lot of assumptions and judged her based on your assumptions rather than her words and actions. This video wasn't it.
I have a tattoo shop and i preach constantly how we are to do our best to give the client what they want but also make them feel welcome and involved. If they want poop written in bold black across the forehead then guess what they get it. Can it get annoying sometimes? Yes for sure but i would rather someone spend time deciding this PERMANENT tattoo than just slapping whatever on themselves. Also if a client wants random bugs they found on line then cool who the fuck cares??? Tattooing is not about just placing your art on someone it's a lot of times putting effort into making what they want look clean and nice It is what they pay us for. And anxiety and pain levels very much correlate. I can not stand artists like you. (Omg your so elite and so above everyone cause you make art.) Our shop strives to never make anyone feel the way i am sure a large percent of your clients have felt.
i so agree with you ! I would feel really bad with a tattoo artist like her, my artists they always do what i want (that sounds weird haha) and sometimes they make suggestions but thats it, they want me to get exactly what i want ! You seem like a great tattoo artist !
Judging by your comments section, this is not your niche girl. Don’t quit your day job.
Idk I drew my own tattoo because I wanted a very specific thing and I didn’t think me asking for my design was a bad thing 😅
It's not,lol.
Its not this girls just annoying
I have several and I designed or brought in images of what I want for all of them unless they were just words. And in that case, I brought in the font style. It’s my body, I’m sure as heck going to make sure it’s exactly what I want.
its not this girl is just holier than thou and on her high horse, its your body and its PERMANENT choose what you really want!!!
@@sharks9555 Amen!
This is the first video I’ve ever clicked on of yours and it’ll 100000% be the last.
yup she’s toxic asf
Same. Had to unsub
Right??
I 100000% agree with you
Same
why are tattoo artists so gatekeepy???
I just got my first tattoo, and whilst my anxiety was a bit high on the day, I sat and talked to myself like " Are you worried about regretting the design? No, it's a pet and a species you love. Are you worried about the artist? No I love his other work. Are you worried about the pain? Not really, my pain tolerance is okay, I just am unsure of what this pain is gonna be like. Okay so, why are tou nervous? Good point."
She’s doing a lot of talking about what all tattoo artists are thinking of this… when she’s not even a tattoo artist herself yet.
I see no issue with creating your own design taking it to a tatto artist and saying this is exactly what i want and how i want it. If they dont want to do it thats on them but there shouldnt be an issue if you make a specific design and want it that way. Now if they say it wont look good and im gonna need to touch it up a bit people should be open to that but if i want my specific drawing or even clip art on me i dont see the issue. Also lets not act like the price doesnt include stencil work and placement. All of that is included in the price. I feel like this was kind of a bad take. Like if the artist was cool with all of this then who actually cares because she didnt force anyone to do anything? I do agree with you that she is in a weird state right now and should get help instead of a tattoo. She seems to think shes having a spiritual awakening when in reality shes probably having a manic episode just as fousey did a few years ago.
Well damn, that's a very low bar for the epitome of a shitty client. Not gonna lie i'm a little disappointed because I thought it was going to be a lot worse lmao. Quit ya gatekeeping!
yeah here i was thinking knowing what you want and where you wanted was a good thing....
I'm really glad I read the comments on this video. I'm looking into getting my first tattoo at the moment, and as I watched this video I got more and more wary that this kind of attitude would be what I would encounter: that the artist knows best, and you don't get much input into the permanent art you are putting on your body. Thank god the people in the comments proved me wrong and showed me that this attitude isn't and shouldn't be the norm, but this video just seems so judgemental and belittling to people who want to get their tattoo the way they envision it (not saying this excuses people who act as if they know more about tattoos than tattoo artists! There comes a point at which it is no longer a matter of taste and is instead a matter of technical knowledge, experience and expertise.)
It’s a fine tattoo, and I think she’ll love it for years to come. Maybe an annoying client, but she has every right to be picky. It will be there forever after all. As long as the tattoo artist agreed to do it and got paid, I don’t think there is much wrong here.
