People if you ever try and approach something have a little style, flair. social grace and above all presence. Real actual human presence, not some cold calling/email approach. I rarely look for tattooists to do geust spots as I like people I know in my shop that I have some sort of history with and or am turned on to someone by the suggestion of someone else. So I always try and be pleasant when someone approaches me looking for a job. I recieved this in sequence from this asshole pictured below. Yes this is the stupid bitch's lame ass photo below.
Now I know your thinking Henry, how can you make such a harsh rash judgement? Well, this is how.

Hey henry,
Thanks for the reply. No we haven't met before I think, I'm from New Zealand but moved to Australia and started tattooing 3 years ago. I never had an apprenticeship but started from home and ended up in a shitty bikey studio but learnt a lot from tattooing frequently. I'm looking for good gig over until october which is when my visa runs out. I found you guys on the internet and phoned hoping you may have an opening. If theres nothing going I'm gonna book a ticket back to Australia next week. Look foward to hearing from you mate

Hello Rhys
Unfortunately I do not hire home trained tattoo artists with minimal years behind them. or someone whom calls working in a shop a "gig". I am looking for someone with a few more years under their belt and suited for this shop.
.
Good luck.

Thanks Henry,
but I also don't work for big ego's that don't have the quality of work to back it up! and home trained or not its the work that counts. I do like however the title you have given yourself ' Henry Hate '! its funny in this industry how the ego's give themselves a nickname to standout because there portfolio don't say sweet fuck all. You could have learned a lot from me mate it's a pity your definitely in need.
Walk the walk before you talk the talk Mr Hate
Good luck to you too my friend
Sir Rhys taught myself
So if i am in such need to fucking learn from someone like him why in the fuck is this punk asking me for a job. I didn't state anything about his work, it was nice, I wasn't bold over, and the guy isn't exactly reforming the circle into something I have never seen. This bitch only confirmed why I will not hire self taught tattoo artists anymore. seriousl This is some bullshit. So fuckwadd if your reading this I am sure that the same people whom you approached were not exactly falling over themselves to have you in their shop. Why cause our attitude sucks. Especially since the bitch approaches tattooing from the aspet of what can I get out of this rather than the other way around. If you are looking for a job you take your lazy ass to the shops and hit the pavement. Seriously and looking at this guy he's not even remotely tattooed to where I feel he has commited himself to the craft. He has the attributes of one of those ungrateful slutty fat kids on MTV they make so many shows about.
I took offence to his use of the word 'gig" but then I wrote this and really thought up to this point I was being civil.
My replu:
Hey Asshole.
You don't fucking cold email people looking for a job or as you stated, gig. Ego or no ego where do you fucking get off. I am not the one whose out of a fucking job. as for my work, I am completely satisfied
with my work and my customers. But thanks for the compliment of me having a ego. Awe shucks. Your home trained approach is evident of why I don't hire home trained tattooists. I have learned from you and only
solidified my belief. You make personal attacks, and your lack of people skills and bullshit approach will only have you tattooing people in a home/house bedroom. So If you think my work is so shit WHY IN THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING ME FOR A JOB SHITHEAD! BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I will post this in TCGB, See how fucking far you go. Again good luck. So if you excuse me I have to get back to my shitty tattoos and clientelle as you so think.
Now kindly go Fuck your Two cent food stamp whore of a mother.
Seriously I am proud of my ass busting and no fucking punk is going to stop me or my job. So when approaching me, proceed with caution. Cause i ain't the one.
