Kanye has a point, whether he's talking about himself or people in general. Getting tattoos while drunk is a guaranteed mistake. It's like getting married while drunk. Just don't do it. Unless it's with someone rich and they didn't sign a pre-nup.
I once saw a really horrible tattoo of a rat smoking a bong on a girl. The story was that the girl had come in drunk in the middle of the night asking for it, but the tattoo artist knew better than to tattoo a drunk person. He told her if she came back the next day and still wanted the tattoo, he would give it to her for free. Guess what? She came back the next day and the rest is history. You see, drunk tattoos aren't always just bad drunk ideas. Sometimes they are bad ideas without the alcohol.
