That is standard procedure when you get a tattoo. Calm the **** down. It's not the end of the world.

Yeah, everyone has to shave, regardless of how much hair you actually have. The slightest bit can mess it up.

yeah... ydi for not knowing everyone has to shave where the tattoo is going to be... just reading up on how they do tattoos and the preparations they do would have told you that everyone has to do it...

Not true, I got a tattoo on my upper back and they didn't have to shave, maybe you should go get your back waxed? FYL though...How many people who say it needs to be shaved actually have tattoos?

Uhm you're supposed to get shaved before a tattoo to avoid ingrown hairs. Whoever didn't shave you first was tattooing unsafe. I've known enough tattoo artists, and people to get tattoos, to tell you such!

Why do some girls freak out over hair. I know hairy girls who don't make a big deal, or else they'd shave it

To everyone saying you always have to shave before you get a tattoo- I've got four different tattoos, split between two different tattoo parlors. I didn't have to shave for any of them, and they all turned out great. I also know lots of people who have a number of tattoos, and unless it's in a place where there was actually thick hair present, they didn't have to shave before it was done.

I have a tattoo on my ankle and I hadn't shaved in a few days. He didn't tell me to shave or anything and my tat looks awesome. He didn't shave it for me, he just went over the hair

Even if she didnt have hair they have to shave her back so the skin is smooth for the needle...

They have to shave the area of the tattoo everytime, regardless of where it is or how much hair there is.... so this isn't gross or a FML...

I'm a girl and places like my wrist and my ribs have been shaved in preparation for tattoos. I can't see hair on either place but they have to do it.

It was her first tattoo, she most likely didn't know.

Its standard. If you were to get a tattoo on your forearm where there is little skin, you have to shave it. Any place that could even have the finest of hair, you have to shave, even if you get a tattoo between your thumb and finger.
