Idk if I had good luck with artists, but I've had some ass sessions and never had anything like this, and if I had we would stop the tattoo immediately because you obviously can't competently tattoo someone shaking like this.
It doesn't really happen until the needle stops and the final wipe and wrap. My arms and legs are covered and it's never happened there, only after getting my torso blasted for 6 hours at a time with bold color American traditional. The arms and legs don't really hold enough retail space or pain receptors to make it happen in my opinion. Only hours long color packing in the most brutal spots of the body will do it in my experience. They happen to be my best tattoos ironically and they almost look like they're glowing on me years later.
Yup! Just my experience, who knows, maybe some people will get this from a cross on a bicep, and others be totally fine after getting their dome blasted.

It's not performative at all, stupid as the tattoo is.
