So I’ve told y’all before how tattoo artists are totally head-over-heels in love with stickers, right?

This morning I found out that several artists who regularly buy from us online have become loyal customers because we send stickers with every order.

I mean they like us for other reasons too, but when you do a side-by-side comparison and prices are the same, products are the same, and service the same with a couple other supply places online, the deciding factor for a number of artists was the fact that we send random stickers and nobody else does.

Which I think is adorable!

In fact one guy admitted that he paid more for a certain product we carry (I don’t have a distributorship with that particular manufacturer so I can’t offer big sales when other places can) ONLY BECAUSE he wanted some stickers 🤣

They claim that the stickers along with great service, great prices, and a wide variety of supplies has made some very loyal customers, which I think is awesome.

How many companies can say they have an edge in their industry because they give out random stickers that the owner finds and hands out because she loves stickers herself?!!?!

necessary info: i don’t hear well
also necessary info: we’re dorks

dad: moe said he goes his vaccine so he’s all set

me: what about larry? (forgetting my dad actually has a friend larry)

mom: *grinning because she knows what i’m getting at*

dad: larry hasn’t gotten it yet (and neither has my dad)

mom: *chuckling because not only is my dad not getting my amazing joke yet but also because she knows something i don’t know*

me: what about... CURLY?!

dad: curly?

me: moe, larry, the cheese!

dad: *lets out a huge laugh* OH MAN I didn’t even get it when you said larry! that’s great! moe larry curly!

mom: *laughing so hard she’s crying* but his friend’s name is bo!

dad: wait what?
me: wait whuuut?

mom: you guys are both dorks! as soon as she said larry i knew she’d misheard bo for moe and she was doing a 3 stooges joke but you’re such a dork that you didn’t get it at all until she explained what she was doing!

Marissa (my uncle’s wife) has a Sailor Moon outfit.

But she has no clue it’s a Sailor Moon outfit.

Marissa just likes wearing really over-the-top cute outfits.

She has long red hair that she does all pretty and curly when she wears the Sailor Moon outfit.

And even though a lot of customers who come into the shop KNOW it’s a Sailor Moon outfit given the looks on their faces, they just smile and say she looks cute today and turn to me and grin or wink.

My mom convinced me that since I use Tumblr and that’s the birthplace of so many memes I should use said memes for the business’ social media accounts. Entertain people and get closer to them and you’ll be ahead of the curve on memes because it takes a while for memes to hit other social media places.

So I was like YES that’s a great idea.

I shall make tattoo-themed memes.

It’ll entertain followers.

And they’ll enjoy following me instead of just seeing ads all the time.

It’ll be more personal, which is HUGE in the tattoo industry.

So I create my masterpiece.



I posted it to FB and immediately I was inundated with people asking if I’d been hacked, what the hell is that thing, what’s with the monster, what’s a LAAMP, and can you send me a link to your online store page for that lamp because I want to buy it.

So I guess when mememing on FB I need to treat it more like a funny advertisement for a particular product that I actually have rather than just entertainment.

FB is fun.

If you’ve ever watched a medical TV series with me, you know that I turn it into MST3K because I’ve got 20 years of medical knowledge trapped in my head, and I just can’t let that shit go, but I’m also a dork, so I gotta make it silly when I’m calling bullshit on all the things.

I got to experience the beauty of being on the other end this weekend as Jillian (my mom’s friend) binge-watched Orange is the New Black with us.

She’s worked in prisons for about the same amount of time I worked in the medical field.

And I mean I *knew* that it was fake and all, but there were a lot of things she pointed out that I never would’ve noticed.

It was fun :D
