Coupons For Tattoos: In or Out?

Posted on by ariene

Today I started my day off like any other day. I grabbed my cup of coffee, checked my email with all the deals of the day from Groupon, Living Social, Deal Chicken, STLtoday.com & St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Travelzoo. I know that’s a lot of coupon sites, but I love a good deal and it only takes me a few minutes to skim over the specials for the day.

One special on Groupon got me thinking about a topic I find very interesting: tattoos. The special was for Art Monster. They do tattoos and air brushing. I love tattoos and watch every reality TV show about them. RIP L.A. Ink. We miss you.

Kat Von D The funny thing is that I don’t even have one tattoo. In fact, neither does anyone in my family. I’ve thought several times about getting one but I can never decide on anything I want permanently on my body. I’ve also heard that once you have one you will want more. I have a very strong feeling that would be me. Not that there’s anything wrong with a lot of tattoos, but it would make dressing for my job harder than it already is. Not to mention, the surprise on family’s face if I came in looking like Kat Von D. While they look great on her and she has the perfect job to show them off, I am not brave enough to do it.

Adam Levine Anyway, getting to the point: One of the maintenance guys in my office has been talking about wanting another tattoo so I got excited to tell him about the Groupon today. He seemed concerned about a place that would give out coupons for tattoos. Our other maintenance guy chimed in and said he’s heard really good things about Art Monster. Then I looked at the Art Monster website and I was pretty impressed by the work I saw. I think if the research has been done on the artist and you know what you want, it shouldn’t be a problem. Turns out, you never know what kind of deal you can find on a daily coupon site, so I say don’t miss out on a great sale and check them out anyway.

What are your thoughts on getting a tattoo with a coupon?

    I feel like people choose where to get tattoos based on referrals from others who have tattoos from that place or have a friend/acquaintance who is a tattoo artist. I think it’s cool that a place is doing coupons, but I think if someone were smart, they’d ask around about the place before they went and bought the Groupon.

    I think you would be surprised. I mean some people get a tattoo in their friends basement. Not sure a coupon is scarier than that.

    I agree with Jessica, most places are based on referrals, but having tattoos myself and seeing a coupon for a tattoo makes me wonder why? what happened to cause them to start using coupons? did something bad happen to a client of thiers because of a tattoo? who knows, all I say is if you choose to get one, do your homework, watch them carefully, make sure the area they do the work in is sterile, watch them take the needle out of the package, gloves are worn, etc. Be smart, you only get one chance.
