A British tattoo artist has expressed concerns about companies promoting financing options for tattoos, cautioning it's "not worth getting in debt over".
The artist, who shares her work and thoughts online under the handle @pippa.ink, criticised services that offer financing plans for tattoos. Although the idea of splitting the cost of an expensive tattoo may seem appealing, these plans often include significant interest rates. Additionally, missing payments can negatively impact one's credit score.
"If you do really want to get that sleeve finished or that back piece done, consider getting a credit card with a lower interest rate, talk to your bank, or speak to your artist." "Then they're left with an unfinished tattoo. If in doubt, talk to your tattoo artist and work with them to find a solution. It's not worth getting into debt."
