Tattoo as a gift

From the material you will learn about a new and controversial trend – “a tattoo as a gift”, which every year on the eve of “Black Friday” is becoming more and more popular. In the material, we will try to figure out together whether a tattoo takes place and can be appropriate as a gift to another person..

Tattoo as a gift for “Black Friday” – reflections on the tattoo as a gift

I would like to start by saying that the idea to discuss this topic came to the mind of a tattoo master who works in his own, exclusive style, never makes a tattoo based on someone else’s sketches. Roughly speaking, he applies his tattoos only to those who like the style of his work and the concept of drawings. As you already understood, such a person is “not at all a supporter” of a tattoo as a gift. such an event implies the choice of a picture and “everything-everything” not even by the client himself, but by the donor.

Such yourself Black Friday in the world of tattoo – buy a tattoo for dad and mom, get a tattoo for yourself as a gift!

Ethical reflections on the third person tattoo

A gift certificate for a tattoo, which implies payment for the services of a tattoo artist for citizen “X” from citizen “U”, is a topic that does not raise questions, this is normal. The owner of the tattoo decides everything, just someone else pays.

But when a person comes and says that he wants to develop a sketch, think over a concept, correct a working version, approve a drawing and apply it to someone else for his own money, then a question actually arises. Is it ok?

Someone will say that if everyone is happy with everything, then “at least let them walk on their heads”, but is this true??

Is the concept “your body is your business” followed in this version??

The tattoo artist’s dilemma

Summarizing and concretizing the story, the aforementioned tattoo artist faced a choice and a big question, to find the answer that we would like to see together with the readers. .

A gift tattoo is something that destroys the very concept of a tattoo, which implies a creative symbiosis of a tattoo artist and a canvas in the form of a future owner.?

Or, there is nothing wrong with a tattoo design chosen by a friend, close friend or relative.?

The material is inspired by the increased frequency of requests for such a service, its popularization and private ethical “torment” of one person.

We will be most grateful to you for your opinion in the comments under the material.!
