Jill writes, (these emails were in response for some tattoo work I posted on craigslist two weeks )
some guy: what do u charge for a pentacle tattoo?
me: 50$ minimum price for a tattoo. How big did you want it?
Some guy: well there is this other guy on there doin tattoos for 30
me: Have that person do the tattoo then.
some guy: butt I like ur work better
me: Well then the minimum is 50$.
some guy: if he can charge 30 u can charge me 30 to
me: No I charge 50$.
some guy: thats so fucked up y do all the better tattooers charge so much more money its a monopoly on the tattoo industry its bullshit ur like the 10th tattooer who wants more than im willing to pay n its 4ever so I want it done rite
me: Did you ever hear the phrase “you get what you pay for” ? also 50$ is really cheap for a tattoo the supplies alone cost around 25$. I want to get paid for my labor.
some guy: will u take a trade
me: What do you have to trade?
some guy: 55 galon fish tank its has a small crake, I gots a ikea coffe table, ceiling fan, chevy lumina altenator , sheep skin rug, small cactus, xbox games, crib, boys baby clothes, I can give u massage
me: No thanks
some guy: that fish tank alone cost me over 300, the coffee table was like 50, the fan 80, the altenator like 80, the cactus like 10, xbox games like 100reds, crib like 400, clothes a lot, ladies pay me for massages
me: The concept of a trade is you have something that I want and you don’t have anything I want, and all your shit is used so its not worth what you paid for it. It is worth less. plus I don’t want a cracked fish tank, I have a coffee table, I live in an apt so the ceiling fan is out, I don’t have a chey lumina, I don’t want a cactus,I have a ps3 not and xbox, I don’t have a baby, and I doubt women pay you for massages.
some guy: im the best massager there eva was u don’t know shit about me I have mad ladies calling me up for massages I work in a very repuatable massage place. with ur attitude and proffesionalism u wont get anybody who want a tattoo
me: If you were a masseuse you would know it wasn’t called massager. Im ending this craziness please stop emailing me.
some guy: I gonna go on craigslist and flag your post so who has the last laff now
me: I have the last laugh you have the last laff what ever the fuck that is. hahaha learn to spell. Plus I can always repost on craigslist.
some guy: ill flag whatever u repost
me: I have other email addresses and tattoo pictures you wont even know which is mine. some guy: ill flag every one
me: Really? I find it hard to believe that you will flag every tattoo post from every category ever hour of everyday for the rest of your life.
some guy: ? I will
