My tattooer said something interesting about artists without tattoos. Basically, his opinion is that when your profession is to inflict pain on another person, you should have an understanding of how it feels for them, so that you will be motivated to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them.

Tattoo pain is fascinating tho. Ive spoken to people who are straight up traumatized by how badly certain tattoos hurt, or had tattoos that hurt so bad it drained their enthusiasm for the piece. I dont relate to that at all, I can tell you they hurt but once its done and I have that art in my skin I forget all about it.

I love tattoos and Im always coming up with what I wanna get next. Im really happy to hear from people like you and Flock who dont have them but really appreciate the work and artistic value of them.
