Never Do These 10 Things When Getting Tattooed - with Tattoo Artist Romeo Lacoste

About this video

Weston interviews tattoo artist Romeo Lacoste to discuss critical mistakes people should avoid when getting tattooed. They cover practical and respectful behaviors, from arriving sober and prepared to maintaining proper hygiene and trusting the artist’s expertise.

Key takeaways

  • Weston emphasizes never arriving under the influence, as alcohol and drugs increase bleeding, impair healing, and compromise judgment about the permanent decision
  • Weston argues against micromanaging your tattoo artist during the process; trust their expertise while being respectful of their workspace and concentration
  • Weston stresses maintaining basic hygiene and respect—showing up clean, being polite to staff, not bringing large groups, and communicating honestly about budget constraints beforehand rather than changing terms at the appointment
  • Weston advises arriving fully prepared with a clear tattoo idea and adequate time scheduled, avoiding last-minute changes that disrupt the artist’s planning and workflow
