i listen to music, i play music, i talk about music....it's THE stuff.
after years of putting music-related tattoos on people, i've learned to completely squelch the music nerd enthusiasm that overcomes me at the moment a client lays a music themed tattoo idea out-
"i've been thinking about a tattoo, who do i talk to? you?"
"yup-o! what're you thinking about doing?"
"this, in black, on my wrist"
[client unfolds google images printout with a bass clef]
"awesome! do you play bass?!"
[client makes face as though they smelled a fart]
"um, no."
"then you're left-handed?" (the bass clef indicates what the left hand plays on piano)
"no." [checks cell phone, looks around]
"how much will it cost?"......
i've learned to just shut up and treat it like selling them a sandwich, i mean snakes are badass even if you're not a herpetologist so let it be, right?
this kid does not sing. i asked.
