An enthusiastic aficionado, a tattoo collector is a person who sees their ink not just as individual pieces but rather as a curated collection. They seek ink from specific, carefully chosen artists, using their skin and the artists' work to build a library of body art that is meaningful and significant, potentially even beyond the collector's own appreciation.
Some collectors gain reputations and followings in social media and the convention circuit, and can wield tremendous influence within the community. Anecdotal evidence suggests comments or reviews from certain collectors can make or break an artist's career.
Further anecdotal evidence suggests that there is a far lower douchebag quotient among the collector segment than one might expect, but there's definitely some out there.

"That moth collector was picking the moths off MY screen door, so I had to go out there and beat him with one of those rubber sticks that separate people's groceries at the register.

A glass or metal and silicone pipe used to smoke dabs by being heated with a lighter or torch. Once heated it is put over the wax and you suck out the other end like a straw and it is vaporized.
