This is always the reason I've been told that you shouldn't get pierced/tattooed drunk/high ... thinning of the blood by alcohol or whatever. I remember I got my nose and lip pierced after a night out drinking and boy did I ever bleed.

That, and a drunk/high person isn't really to be trusted to sit still for 2 hours and get tattooed.

edit: Oh, and I actually kind of dig that Griever tattoo posted. I just would never, ever get it done myself.
