At one point in our lives, we all wanted to get a tattoo. Some of us did, and are still getting inked, while the rest are struggling with the issue of tattoo pain or simply don’t want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a tattoo<\/a>. Tough times call for tough decisions, right?<\/p>\n

But, what if we told you that there is a way for you to get tattooed for a reasonable price, even lower than what you would pay regularly? You’d jump right in, just like anybody would. However, there’s a catch. The rule is to get as many tattoos done during a regular 8-hour shift at a tattoo shop. This is called a tap-out tattoo session. The question is; would you do it?<\/p>\n

In the following paragraphs, we’ll explain what tap-out tattoo sessions really are, how they work, and what their pros and cons are. So, without further ado, let’s get started!<\/p>\n

Tap-Out Tattoo Sessions \u2013 Explained<\/h2>\n

What Is a Tap-Out Tattoo Session?<\/h3>\n

We don’t think there is a more popular offer a tattoo shop can come up with than a tap. tattoo session. But, if you’ve never heard of it, you’re probably wondering what it is. Now, tap-out sessions are special offers provided by tattoo shops and tattoo artists. The offer includes the opportunity for someone to get as many tattoos as possible within the time frame of a full 8-hour day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Because tattoo artists usually work at an hourly rate, for this occasion, the hourly rate is lowered<\/strong>. Let’s say that a tattoo artist has an hourly rate of $150. That price would drop up to $50, which means you would pay $400 less than you normally would. Plus, for a regular day-long session you would pay the price for only one tattoo. This way, you’re getting more tattoos for the price of one, or even less.<\/p>\n

The tap-out sessions start with providing the required deposit amount (usually around $100), and a lot of preparation. You should have at least a vague idea of the tattoo designs you’d like to get during the tap-out and go through them with the tattoo artists. Most often you’ll have to ditch the idea of getting bigger tattoo designs (since they require multiple tap-out sessions) and think of smaller design options.<\/p>\n

Why Do People Do Tap-Out Sessions?<\/h3>\n

One of the reasonable questions we all have to ask ourselves is why do people really do this; why do tattoo artists do it (they’re clearly at a disadvantage here, both financially and work-wise), and why do people subject themselves to such a painful experience? It’s not called a tap-out session for no reason, right?<\/p>\n

Well, there is a financial or cost advantage for the clients<\/strong>. When you think about it, they save tons of money doing tap-out sessions. Also, it is super convenient<\/strong> to get everything done in one day. Going back and forth isn’t really what any one of us wants to do with our days; so, to have everything done in one sitting is just perfect.<\/p>\n

Now, why do tattoo artists make these kinds of offers? Well, this is a great way to promote one’s business<\/strong>. It attracts a whole new clientele<\/strong> and hopefully creates an opportunity to make long-term clients as well.<\/p>\n

It is true that many doubt the quality of tattoos that get done during tap-out sessions<\/strong>. Some even believe that no reputable tattoo artist would do these sessions in the first place. They’re super tiring, exhausting, and don’t make much money. But, the truth is, there are pros and cons to everything, even these sessions. We’ll go through them in the following paragraphs and hopefully paint a picture of this experience so that you can make a decision for yourself; to take on the challenge or not.<\/p>\n

Tap-Out Sessions Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n

Just like anything in life, these tap-out tattoo sessions have their pros and cons. To make a final decision you’re satisfied with (if you’re considering partaking in a tap-out session), we need to go through all of the advantages and disadvantages;<\/p>\n
