More and more people are getting tattoos. A whopping 225 million people worldwide have at least one tattoo. So, it’s natural that people of all shapes and sizes may want one. Yet the reality is that sometimes tattoo artists may turn away clients if they think they won’t be able to do a good job.
This is what happened to the OP of this story. She, a tattoo artist, already agreed on the design and placement of a tattoo with her client. But when the client showed up at the salon, the artist decided that her initial design wouldn’t be possible due to the woman’s plus-sized body. After a verbal altercation with the client, the OP came to Reddit to ask others whether her behavior was inappropriate.
