What are Scratchers/Amateurs?
Never get a tattoo from a “scratcher” (a nonprofessional tattooist). Who may set up shop out of a home or van, or even a studio. An amateur is, simply and obviously, untrained. Scratchers/Amateurs do not practice safe tattooing (because they don’t know how) and you’re placing yourself in great danger by using them. And costly fixing Scratchers/Amateurs work is not easy and will run you a pretty penny to fix.
