Should I have a few drinks before getting my tattoo?

Before a tattoo session, it is usually not a good idea to have had much to drink - most tattoo artists don't want to tattoo anybody that has been drinking. But if you have had a drink, just don't hit the bottle too hard, as it is preferable not to tattoo intoxicated people - they're just hard to deal with in general.
