Some people never cease to amaze us with how entitled to discounted or even free services, products, bargains, and goods they feel. Called Choosing Beggars, they even have a whole Reddit community dedicated to their worst faux pas, and we previously wrote about it here, here and here.
It seems like no one is immune to a choosing beggar attack, it doesn’t matter what kind of job you do. This time, we’re taking a look at the tattoo artists who got their nerves challenged big time.
Think of customers who tried to find an easy and inexpensive way to getting themselves inked with, you guessed it!, little results.

#23 Client Got A Small Simple Tattoo On His Wrist And He Was Very Happy With It. Few Days Later He’s Frantically Emailing And Calling The Shop When It’s Shut, Requests A Touch-Up And Insists He Was Overcharged, And Wants To Speak To The Manager
This dude was a walk-in, and wanted a last-minute tattoo on his wrist. He seemed very friendly and grateful for being seen at such short notice. The first thing I noticed was that he was suuuuper nit-picky once the tattoo was done; going back and forth to touch up a millimetre at a time to his liking. I was fine with it, as it’s what the client wants and he’s looking at it constantly so it needs to be “perfect”. Overall he was super happy with it and we thought that was the end. Days later (when the shop is closed), he sends like 5 emails and tries to ring up several times in the span of like 10 minutes. This pic is just the best part of the ordeal. My boss (who is the manager) talked him through it and diffused everything. Our shop minimum is $130, and we make that very clear at the start. The $100 tattoo he mentions was part of a fundraiser with set prices. Never thought I’d encounter a choosing beggar yet here we are
