As a molecular biologist, I can tell you that you are not more likely to get an infection if you do or don't sleep with your pets. Bacteria is everywhere all over you and in the air always. Of course your pet should be reasonably clean but same with your clothes, bedding, or anything near your tattoo.

[@Katrinberndt]

But what if the dog licks the wound? 😬 That’s always my biggest fear haha. Dog mouths are nasty.

[@isaericson4186]

@@Katrinberndt the bacteria found naturally in dogs/ human mouths aren't dangerous, but of course it's a problem if they're licking the toilet bowl for example. Avoid the slobbrey kisses, but if it happens just wash with some antibacterial soap and it's all fine!

Isa ericson as a tattoo artist, please don’t listen to this person. The one and only time I’ve had a client get infected is when he slept with his dog and the dog licked his tattoo. It went fine, he came back the next day and I sorted it out. But take the healing process serious and don’t start cleaning your tattoo with antibacteriel soap during healing period, that’s beyond fucked up. Make sure you get info from your artists, since there’s so many different ways to heal a tattoo and the artists should know how to take care of their own work

[@jennymartinez8038]

When i heard "don't bring your kids" i started laughing because i literally remember when i was like 10 and my mom would take me to her tattoo apointment and the tattoo artists would like talk to me and give me candy uwu

[@ShinRamii]

I think the biggest problem with kids in a tattoo studio is when they’re very young and the parents can’t/don’t watch and pay attention to them. There are so many things in a tattoo studio that kids shouldn’t be getting into or touching. This isn’t to say that all kids are bad, but it’s better to be safe than sorry and we wouldn’t want someones kids distracting other artists in the studio.

I HAAAATE when tattoo artists get annoyed at "picky" customers.. or customers that want something specific.. SO many of them HATE when they get a "particular" customer.. think they chose the wrong profession 😂

[@Katrinberndt]

Haha there is definitely a line that can be crossed where it’s simply too much but you can’t get annoyed by someone wanting a permanent tattoo to be perfect. ☺️

[@DC-bp8sx]

Agreed. It’s good to see videos like this to see the tattooists like this lady that you want to avoid. Sounds rude and snotty. Asking how much for a sleeve is a Normal, reasonable question someone might ask, you can certainly give them a ballpark figure and show some styles that would cost the minimum and some that would cost more. My sons tattoo artist knew how long it would take to do his whole tattoo and said ‘it may go over time a bit but that’s what I would expect it to take me’. No one should be afraid to ask anyone for a price when buying something or employing someone’s services. The way this lady reacts isn’t how most people would react and if you find someone acts haughty, rude or annoyed at you asking things like how much it costs, find someone else as you can be sure that if you had any actual problems with their services, they’d be dealt with in the same rude way. Always Avoid people who are rude, dismissive and arrogant when you ask questions about products or services they offer. It’s a huge red flag that they don’t respect their customers and will be difficult to deal with regarding warranty or any other issue. This goes for any shop of course, not just a tattoo place.

[@cottontherabbit2952]

@@bloodsord9 ... That being said, if it is going to be permanently on someone's body, then their opinion definitely matters more. If a chef was cooking a meal for someone and that person would have to eat that meal every day, they definitely have more of a say on the seasoning than the chef does.

[@wolfbann170]

It is pretty unprofessional not to tell somebody what something will cost. I have several tattoos from European Tattoo Artists and never didn't they tell me what to expect price wise. Of course there is always a range and for bigger stuff you get at least the approximate price for the day. How else should you know how much money to carry or even if you could afford it. Hello this will be 2 million please

[@reivenne]

@@bloodsord9 No, but if I request that the chef cook me a steak and they send me fish, I'm not going to pay for that. Same with a tattoo. If I ask for something, that's what I want on my body. If you as the artist want to make suggestions, go ahead but you still need the clients approval.

[@meikavorotsky1778]

I love it when tattoo artists get annoyed with clients who are picky with their tattoos. It’s something that’s being put on your body forever is it really that crazy to make sure it’s to your liking first? As far as asking how much a sleeve is, yeah I agree that’s not cool but if you want a rough estimate for your tattoo if you’ve already discussed the idea with the artist is that also crazy? Like tf

[@Katrinberndt]

No that’s not also crazy. Don’t put words into her mouth. Of course you can get an estimate haha. No need to overreact.

[@johnjacob3160]

I can understand why they get annoyed when people are picky. There’s a difference from asking for a couple changes and being picky. Some people are never satisfied with shit and act spoiled, and there’s a type that already has the attitude that will result in them finding something wrong after their tattoo is finished regardless of how many changes are made. When you get a tattoo, you should already be happy with the concept before its even on you. Seeing the personal taste and style the artist puts on it should be exciting because it makes it unique.

[@notmyfullname909]

I just assume that generally a sleeve is made up of several tattoos. Thus, you can’t get a price on a ‘sleeve’ because pieces are per tattoo, and amount of time and effort. Also the term sleeve doesn’t cover if it’s color, multiple sessions, etc. And like she said later, sleeves are not usually a single session.

[@Fnukysknuk]

Oh Electric Linda! She is one of the most known tattoo artists in Norway. Their tattoo studio ATTITUDE have their own TV-series on Dplay and in one of her episodes she said that the videos are predominately supposed to be easy entertainment, however there might be some truth to what she is saying but by no means is she trying to offend anyone by these videos. Despite of her strong KZbin persona she is actually quite down to earth, introverted and really sweet

[@Katrinberndt]

@@Katrinberndt Unfortunately when she started doing KZbin content, she got a lot of hate because people took her comments too personal.

Re: hiring for a party, I had a friend who saw an article about someone having a tattoo artist at their wedding to tattoo guests and for a bit wanted to have that at her wedding. She got talked down from it, the wedding was at a brewery too so even if the venue allowed it like I feel like there's the possibility of drunk people getting tattoos or like people running around drunk with open wounds. But, despite that digression, it is a thing I guess for some people to want tattooers to tattoo at events.

[@Reyosaurus]

The first tattoo shop she went into probably did it for her. The shop knows that if they don’t do it, then the girl will just go to the shop down the street to get it done, and the original shop would have lost the business. Basic tattoo Econ

[@winterfire1376]

if they were traditional cultural tattoos then maybe but to my knowledge no culture has full sleeves at that age.

[@ShinRamii]

There is technically no legal age here in Utah to get tattooed. Your parent has to be there during the entire process, start to finish, and we collect photo ID/Birth Certificates of both parent and child and if the names don’t match then there has to be a guardianship paper. That keeps it so minors can’t come with someone who is old enough just to get tattooed. Many states have different rules.

[@ShinRamii]

That’s also because it makes it legal for studios to fix tattoos that dumb kids go and get or do themselves 😂😂

[@kylie3038]

So, I have a few notes. At the tattoo shop I work for, we have a policy that clients only bring up to one guest into the work area, anyone else is limited to the waiting area. Also no children are allowed outside of the waiting area at the front of the shop. Also, it's one thing if someone doesn't know what they want, but we actually have a "free reign" option where our artists basically charge their daily rate and people just get whatever the artist wants to tattoo. More people take advantage of that than you would think and they usually walk out with really great work!

[@Katrinberndt]

Great policies! And just like Linda said in her full-length video (not sure if I kept it in or not) of course there's a free range option and I'd gladly get a piece designed but the artist without my wishes in mind. BUT asking the tattoo artist "what should I get?" is still kinda stupid in my opinion. Either say they get free range or give some kind of guidelines. 😄

[@sandra-2043]

As an tattoo artist myself, I completely agree with Linda. As many tattooers alike. 100%. Why does people get so butt hurt when we explain simple facts and common sense to people getting a tattoo? It is our work environment. We decide what is right and what is not. Respect that. If there is a rule about something, there is probably a good reason to it. Good video!

Seriously? There are tattoo artists who get pissy when a customer asks them about the price of your service? What?

I asked about the money for a sleeve, we sat down, talked it through, and she named a price (with some leeway for change of course). She certainly didn't seem aghast about me daring to ask that question. I seriously don't understand how self-important some people are. Why don't you just print a list of things people can't ask you and fix it at the entrance at your shop, because, believe me, most people have no idea that those even exist. And how should they?

[@belladonnabomber024]

with when the person is asking an artist what they think the tattoo artist should do... its a compliment to the artists knowledge usually for them asking you what you think. especially seeing as often people get several tattoos in one area and then would like to fill the gaps.... as an artist you need to be willing to lend your imagination to your client to make business. If you cant lend your imagination then how do you expect to gain regular clientele and do anything different with your artwork. i really enjoy being asked this because it means that i can get my own work out there and onto some ones skin whom wants the design. There is no limit as to whether a design comes into the shop or is produced in the shop. The only limit is some ones imagination and personal preferences, the size of the needles and the surface area of the clienteles skin. (Texture , depth etc...) maybe materials available but thats around abouts it. It was an interesting video to watch the first time because i have a few tolerances myself, but the main thing to remember is it is up to the tattoo artist to give the after care information because often some advice is tailored to that tattoo artists work ethic and style. ****No one is allowed to use bedpanthen on tattooes anymore, the content of lanilol in the nappy rash cream, burns the skin and makes the ink fade and fall out.... so just a quick not to anyone still using it. Bedpanthen have told tattoo artists to stop because its not for tattoos +hashtag free information***

Wow, this blouse (? I'm not good at English 🤔) looks really good on you!☺️☺️

[@Katrinberndt]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Katrinberndt]

Blazer I think it's the right name! It's like a suit jacket but a little less formal. 😃

[@smsmith6230]

Yes I went into a tattoo shop and asked for an owl. I had shown him some ideas and he said straight up that I would not like it that way. He asked me questions to get an idea of style. So he said he will draw something up for me right there and see if I'll like it. Well it was very nice. It was a water color. I am getting another in 2 weeks of a rose. I was talking to my Mom and she suggested I get it a little different. Considering I am sure he is always doing plain roses and probably. So instead I am getting a climbing rose bracelet on my wrist. I am so excited 😍. Next is my dog does sleep in my bed. But I keep her very clean and I my environment very clean. It's not like I let her roll on me when I have a new one. My last tattoo healed really good.

[@smsmith6230]

Honestly saying tattoo artists don't care what you get. That's not completely true. The one I had was so good to me. He asked me questions about what things I like and my personality and he matched my tattoo. I am a very bubbly person and the tattoo shows my bright personality with every color he could fit. And he was very informative about the after care. My tip is going into a tattoo shop and when you can speak to the tattoo artist then ask about the after care. If he seems very informative about it then that's a good person to work with.

Canada has an age limit of 18 but I got one when I was younger because my dad signed for it

[@mashalopen]

I got my first tattoo at 16 because that's the age limit where I live and honestly, that one was the most thought out and responsible tattoo I have 😂

[@othernamename8006]

I watched Linda’s video a while ago, so I was so happy to see you reacting to it!

[@dexretrogamerzoid630]

For rich, the price doesn't matter. For rest of the people asking for price shouldn't be taken as offense, the estimates help the clients to be ready paying the amount easily. There are many people who have never gotten a tattoo and are clueless about the cost.

[@bri2uty]

E-Linda describing having a pet next to you while a tattoo is healing is bad and my dog is licking a tattoo of mine and I’m like 👀 looooool

[@alyssasquirrel4769]

When I was getting my latest tattoo (a little over a week ago) there was a guy getting something done and as it got later his family came to see him. The shop was super cool about it. When I asked my artist about it he was like "yeah we don't allow kids to hang out in here but we all got family, we can be understanding." It was cool. They were in there about ten minutes, hugged their dad and left. It was fun listening to them comment on the tattoos and ask about the equipment and stuff.

[@8pawsandus176]

I am guilty of having my pets in my bed while healing, I totally understand the risks and would only blame my self if it went bad but this is the only recommendation I don’t follow lol

[@jeanettenielsen6002]

She is legit one of the best tattoo artist in Norway, and her studio is sooo good 😍

[@mnshorten]

I just recently discovered Electric Linda's channel and I just love her! I really enjoyed this type of video where you react to another channel's video. Love your content! ❤

[@Katrinberndt]

Awesome! Thanks! 😃

[@ellychan5579]

I've been following Linda's KZbin channel for years, glad you found her recently.

[@adashadrina7738]

I know it's not the topic of the video BUT I have to say that your hair looks AMAZING! I love it! P.S. also great video :)

[@chaneehyasmin1223]

My two favorite tattoo youtuber in one video 😍 i agree that you guys would be great friends. I hope she sees this video and you will make a video together someday!

[@gebbigibson0]

Chaneeh Yasmin she already posted it on her dashboard.

[@cassidy5466]

I like to give artist free reign if they’re willing to. Obviously I would give them a little direction but for the most part let them have artistic freedom (if they like to do that )

[@haileyredrocketship]

Yup! I sleep with my dog. I always wash my sheets the day of my appointment as well as give him a bath to try and keep everything as clean as possible

[@aidanpratt6026]

Does she know the guy that tattooed the dude from prison break 👀

[@123blacksheep]

Id say hair is probably the worst thing for tattoos because your skin can actually grow over your dogs hair or bacteria. I sleep with my dog but not while a tattoo is healing. I also clean my sheets the night before an appointment.

[@PeterBarnesandjelly]

7:08 Oh man that sounds like an awful idea hahahaha I can only imagine what would happen if you were admitted into prison with both of your arms covered in new, unhealed, and sensitive tattoos.

[@ReincarnatedGhost1]

Twist! That's you in an alternate dimension! :D Sorry....awesome video. :)

[@itallstartshome406]

I can understand the how much $$ dilemma, and how that can annoy some professionals. I've heard hair stylist complain of this same thing. How much is so and so, but to be honest I always say can you give me an estimate so that I can make sure I have enough because that's what the client wants to know. I went to a salon once that I would visit quite often and the stylist was I'm going to do this and I was like okay and she continued at the end the session cost more than $250.00 while I had the money to pay I couldn't pay for the tip because the 250 was just on the border line of the $$ i had on me. I returned on the following week and gave a tip. If the stylist was to tell me the whole thing will be around 250 to 300 I would have prepared myself. Bottom line if the person (client) really wants something they will pay anything. I as a client just like the honesty up front an this might cost $$ or $$$$ so that I can prepare. Imagine if I couldn't pay that day. Then what? Wash towels.

[@nimrodgrrrl]

I love your little circular reaction thingy! Very cute 🥰

[@nimrodgrrrl]

Also! I think that it would be great if studios made a concession for service animals and guide dogs!

[@juzzybot3455]

In NZ there is no age limit, but parental consent is required for under 18s. Tattoos are very important to the Māori culture, it's called Ta Moko, and it's very common for high school students to get a Ta Moko. The shape, designs, line work/weights, etc all have a really deep cultural significance. It's basically your biography written on your skin, and it's common to get it as a coming of age rite, and then it gets built upon as you age and grow and have more life experiences, but the base of your identity (who your tribe is, where your tribe is located, significant landmarks like mountains/rivers/Marae, your parents/grandparents/siblings) will never change, so that's the base that is put on you, which is why many start at high school. Then your experiences shape the evolution of your Ta Moko, so you can add children if you have them, significant places, big life events, etc. It's beautiful and seeing a Ta Moko change with the wearer is incredibly fascinating. There are many out there who can read a Ta Moko and find out your life story through it without you ever uttering a word, but at the same time they are usually the only people who are capable of designing and tattooing them. It may be this reason that our govt hasn't tried introducing an age limit. One of my old school mates got his Ta Moko at 12, his mum was pregnant and he delivered his younger sibling - it was an emergency situation - so that prompted his parents to discuss with him if he wanted to begin his Ta Moko because of that big life event and of course he said yes. It was a small piece on his arm that has now turned into a full sleeve! And it looks amazing to see all he has accomplished since then through the way his Ta Moko evolved!

[@SavviiTuesday]

"I know I'm bias because I don't like kids" 😂 omg meeeee. I had to subscribe just because of that. I love your personality btw :)

[@AlinaNoelle]

One of the reasons why people are afraid to ask questions in a shop. It’s not like people don’t ask stupid questions in other businesses like hairdressers etc. Tattoo artists never hide when the are annoyed by a question which is pretty rude in my opinion. Not everyone knows these things, some people might get their first tattoo and are nervous. No reason to act so entitled, just answer politely and be annoyed later, like other people in customer service do🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Katrinberndt]

I agree with you! I think it’s really shitty to treat customers poorly and act annoyed. And that is an opinion I’ve always had. Now I don’t necessarily agree that this video is like that if that’s what you mean. I think this video is about entitled customers who treat the tattoo artists badly and in a disrespectful way. It goes both ways you know. So if a customer is respectful and asks questions that’s very different than if a rude customer comes in and demands answers, you know? 😊

[@J9Gata]

What?! This is so odd because I subscribed to both channels at the same time lol now you are reacting to her and you guys echo what is said on each respective channel

[@ashcervenka6103]

i completely agree with the age limit for tattoos, but you can easily get around that where i’m from. i’m not sure if tattoo artists id all their clients (please tell me if they do), but i think if you look old enough or have a friend that’s older to pay/sign for it, you can get around it. again, this is in my crappy state, i’m pretty sure it’s a lot more strict literally anywhere else 😅

[@paigehenderson8344]

I follow you both and respect both of your critiques, tips, etc! When you said that you might have been her in another life/dimension, I cackled.

[@HealingSpectrumIntuition]

I’ve always been told by my artists to just wash and put lotion on it. Ointment was never mentioned, wrapping it was never mentioned I guess less is more?

[@rawritsbreana]

I am a stickler for being a very good client and care a lot about tattoo etiquette. I felt terrible the other day because I had a touch up appointment and just a few hours before my dog got in a fight and I ended up having to cancel in order to take my dog to the vet. Thankfully my artist is very understanding, but I felt terrible.

[@zailabrown6527]

I hate ABSOLUTELY HATE shaming people for asking about pricing im obviously asking because i need to budget for your art not because im expecting a discount or to heckle you on the price especially a sleeve ive never asked for a price on my tattoos or even an estimate i get it dont they say the price i fork it over but as an artist of many mediums including tattooing i think this whole shaming thing really REALLY needs to stop

[@zailabrown6527]

Done*

[@runswithwands]

I watched this video since I am in the process of getting a tattoo. It's been about 15 years since my first tattoo, so I wanted to be sure I didn't say anything dumb when going in for a consultation or while there. Turns out... I am none of those people. Lol! I'd ask for an estimate--pretty standard, I'd imagine--but otherwise let the artist do their thing. The only pickiness I would have is that my tattoo is a combination of crests from a video game, so it does--in fact--need to be exact without artistic liberties. I highly doubt I have to worry about that, though. Great video!

[@sarahserenity3872]

I'm a tattoo noob and I'm planning and dreaming for my first one. If you're not allowed to ask "how much for....?" Then how do I know how much money I need to save up or bring with me???

[@sophieparata1958]

4:32 yea in my country, the age limit is 18 but it's 16 if you get parental consent

[@sharonwallace101]

Absolutely love Electric Linda and her work 😍

I read your name as kaitlyn Bennett somehow so I’m sorry (also you’re super cute and I love your hair lol)

[@HoldenMadagameTenor]

Really enjoyed this video! It's fun to have you react to this video since you clearly mostly agree but are able to articulate the subtleties when it comes to differences in opinion (like sleeping with your dog).

[@aSinisterKiid]

[@Type1derful]

Im working on a sleeve, i have one more sitting to complete the bottom portion of it. The only one here I can say I do is the saying it hurts. Some of my arm I can just sit through, no issues. Then other spots (especially my wrist) I do tend to cringe, and make jokes about how much it hurts. My most common one is "This won't last forever, it's totally worth it" mantram

[@AlexGraceAKAChoppa]

wow a swedish tatooist reacting to a norwegian tatooist. Scandinavia represent.

[@juni8718]

My to favorite youtubers in 1 video! Would be cool to see a cross-over or collab one day!

[@alexishogan8407]

I’m guilty of #18; but the original artist was in Brazil (I’m in Canada) and I received her permission to recreate it. My artist was really cool in that she was only willing to do if I had written permission (Me too!) but was also willing to do it once I had permission.

[@coloringroxs]

Awh ha my fur babies do sleep with me but when it is time to heal a tattoo I freshly wash the blankets and try to keep them off as best as I can or steady keep them away from my arm. Or wherever future tattoos will be. If a blanket is going to be on it reguardless I will make a barrier with a cotton pillow case just so it’s not directly touching any possible hair or have a less chance there of

[@finaadis1325]

Is it rude to ask for price? Genuinely asking cause im interested in getting tattos but im only a college student and i have budget.

[@michaelshort2388]

I get annoyed when I am on fandom facebook groups and people say "what tattoo should I get. I don't know what I want." If you really want a Harry Potter tattoo then by all means, but I personally would be dubious about it, given that you don't know if you are always going to like Harry Potter or any other fandom. If you do get one, however, it should be something you find meaningful, not something others choose for you.

[@toxic_val7778]

I just recently got my first tattoo ever. I’m only 15 but I thought about it for a year + And both of my parents were on board so I went though with it. I got a Phoenix and a burning rose. It came out amazing and I’m so happy with it. I have loved and wanted tattoos for a very long time, and now I finally have a great start to a future sleeve 🥰

[@blue-m9631]

What is up with all that hate about asking the price? After design and size and way before putting down a deposit all of the artists I have gone to have said the price/costs of it on their own. This was a set price, unless ofcourse I want to add color or make it bigger. I once went in a shop and they said they charge per hour and he couldn't tell if it would be 2 hours or 10 hours. I walked out there. You atleast got to be able to tell me if it is 200 euros or 1000 euros that is a big difference. And then if you go back again and again to the same artist I feel like the price gets lower, I am sure there is a formula for calculating it but being friends with the artist definatly helps.

[@mantasdapkus3251]

It should be how much a tattoo you want to get like you having examples with you when you go to the shop to the best picture to your artist.

[@Exilor]

in 2 months i got an appointment where im getting a tattoo covered up that i got when i was 17 but drawing wise i went full open mind and just looked for an artist with a similar style and told him i was looking for his same style (samoan like) but what exactly doesnt matter and i could tell he was definitly getting hyped for a challange and being able to do his own thing. price wise it would be 100 euro's per hour and im probably looking at about 2000 but its whatever really, it will be there for life

[@CinnamonBasic]

#1 happened to my boyfriend. He's covered head to toe in tattoos but the only one that ever got infected was when we had dogs sleeping in the bed.

[@vanjasavic1975]

Im a dog groomer... Always worked after my tattos... And i have 3 tattos on my hands around ankle... Never had problem 🐶❤️

[@alexisgill1155]

In the US you can be 16 with parental consent to get a tattoo. Or at least in my state.

[@p_ln]

Little dog is sooooo cute 😍😍

[@tanyawinters3979]

My favorite tattoo is 2 large cherry blossoms that I got years ago as a coverup. I told the guy what I wanted, where I wanted it, and why I wanted it. I left the rest up to him. He drew it on me to get the coverup right. Best choice ever was having an idea and letting him run with it. Wish I could find him again to add my mom’s dates to it but frankly I can’t even remember his name.
