Not an artist, but I did make a joke about tattooing a “pin-up of naked princess peach on my ass” while getting a different piece done. My artists (who am I friends with outside of just tattooing which might be why he wasn’t phased by it) stopped dead in his tracks and said “dude, would you actually let me do that?”
Here I am. Waiting for the pandemic to be over so I can finish getting a pin-up of naked princess peach tattooed on my ass.
Edit: when it’s all done we’re revealing it; most of my friends and family know I’m getting an ass tattoo, but no one knows what it is. Both me and my artist decided not to tell anyone we know what it’s going to be as we think it’ll be hilarious when there’s all the sudden a picture of my hairy ass and a naked princess peach on his IG account. I know it could be quite some time but really all that’s there is the initial line work. I’m someone who is covered in tattoos, and find tattoos don’t really hurt. Even in many of the places considered being the worst (ribs, side). But my ass? My ass fucking hurt. So we’re doing it in small increments.

I have a 10″ heart surgery scar from my chin, down the center of my chest.
I consulted with a tattoo artist about a possible cover up, but it’s still a little too fresh. The bottom half of the scar is “squishy” and wouldn’t take the ink well, and the top half is too hard and bumpy.
Maybe in a few years when it mellows.
She was super funny though “You know, in this location it’s going to hurt a lot, right?”
“Worse than open heart surgery?”
“Good point, probably not…”

NOT A TATTOO ARTIST!
However, I had a smiley face tattooed on the end of my one eyed gopher. The only available artist was this lady who looked so reluctant. She later agreed to do it. Because she had to handle my member, I paid double what it originally costed, and tipped her extravagantly well.

i just want the person to be comfortable. some people don’t mind just being partly naked in semi-public. i work in a small shop with plenty of room so it’s easy to create some amount of privacy. i offer to use anesthetic because i know it usually hurts extra bad and we have nothing to prove in that situation. i’m extra careful not to say anything that might come off as boundary-crossing or make them feel self conscious.
however there ARE skeezy men who call/email nearly every tattoo shop and try to get women to tattoo their dick. or, they might just get off on harassing women over the phone. i’ve written long emails to people telling them that if they wanna talk about their dick to a stranger, that service exists, but not here, and not for free. i’m not sure how often those tattoos actually happen or if it’s just a power thing.
and ALSO tattooing has a history of nasty tattooers preying on people getting tattooed in intimate areas, or requiring their female clients to undress more than necessary, etc. if a tattooist ever makes you feel uncomfortable (hopefully you can determine this ahead of time but sometimes it’s impossible) find a way to pay them for their time and leave.

I’m a piercer, people don’t typically ask for anything crazier than I’m willing to do (I perform all of the common genital piercings like PA, VCH, Christina, etc.) but I was working in the shop one night when a tattooer friend of mine had a butthole tattoo to do. It was a touch up of a word just above, and then a new star right around the ol o ring. She charged a $500 “handling” fee upfront, the tattoo was going to be $300 on the books, with a tip also expected of course. Said and done, she had this dude’s ass in her face for 45 minutes, he came on the table toward the end, she made him clean it up himself, and he tipped her a whopping 10 bucks. So for me, I’ll probably pierce it if it’s safe to do, the anatomy is there, and the client isn’t a weirdo, but for tattooers….pick and choose wisely bros.
