Tattoo artist Adam Abrew is getting love from TikTok viewers after a video of him calmly dealing with a difficult customer went viral.

Anyone who has worked in any sort of front-facing position, like retail or food service, can confirm that some clients are really difficult to work with and refuse to see reason.

Tattoo studios can experience exactly the same thing with their clients, from not agreeing with designs to somehow believing they know more about tattooing than the artists themselves.


Tattoo artist Adam Abrew, who works at the Devoted Tattoo Studio in Palm Coast, Florida, shares videos featuring some of his clients, his artwork, and tips for artistic tattooing on his Instagram page.

One of Abrew's most recent videos features an intoxicated client who was stenciled with a neck tattoo, only to for it to be resized without re-stenciling it.

Eager to get the tattoo artist more attention, TikToker @sageofthe6tats shared the video to their channel, where the video quickly went viral.

At the beginning of the video, the videographer caught Abrew mid-conversation with an intoxicated client who did not want him to remove the stencil design from behind her ear, despite wanting the tattoo to be a different size.

Abrew tried to explain to her that he would still tattoo her, but he needed to redo the stencil first to make sure the sizing, positioning and design were accurate, which the client still declined.

Abrew can be heard explaining in a gentle parenting style:

"Hey, listen, you're telling me you want another size, so what we have to do now is wipe the stencil off to put another one on. Do you see how that works?"

When the client refused to see his vision, Abrew offered to reschedule for another day when she wasn't intoxicated—but when she pressed to continue with their appointment, she finally agreed with him to re-stencil the design.

After the TikTok video went viral, Abrew took to Instagram to thank fans for their support, and said that a full interview about what went down is on the way.


The TikTok community was quick to empathize with Abrew's experience and also applauded him for his patience and willingness to walk her through the experience, even if she was reluctant to be led at first.

Hopefully, when she woke up the next day, she was happy with the design she had chosen while under the influence—but the good thing is that Abrew's professionalism would not add to any potential regret.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.

Everyone Had The Same Response After Karoline Leavitt's 'My Own Two Eyes' Claim About Donald Trump

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was widely mocked after she claimed with no sense of irony whatsoever that there is no "harder working President" than President Donald Trump and referring to him as the "Peacemaker-in-Chief."

Trump has spent nearly 40 of his first 175 days in office on the golf course, with taxpayers footing the $26 million bill for those trips as of March 29. A portion of that money goes directly into his own pocket, as many of the outings have taken place at his own resorts.
