Congratulations Deb! Hope to hear it in 18 more years on yer 50th.

Dues you've paid are dues well noted and unknown to those with few years of experience as the whole meal has been a long strange trip.

Hope you and Don are livin the dream for many more years to come.

Congrats Deb! care to share pics of the new girl?

[Huero]

Cheers.

I know your work. In fact, I was recently in Alaska, as part of a hitchiking trip through the Yukon, passed by Anchorage Tattoo Studio, and thought about going in and checking it out, but the place was closed.

[Deb Yarian]

Too bad it was closed-- but did you get to see the giant tattoo machine?

We are down the road north about 15 miles in Eagle River. We were at Anchorage Tattoo for 8 years prior-- great experience.

Thanks for the kind words Nick ---we feel the same about you.

Ms Rad, thanks i'll try to post a pic (:

[Huero]

I went to eagle river!

More like passed through. Got a 40oz from the grocery store and kept moving north. And, yeah, for sure saw the giant tat machine on the roof. Does it light up?

[Deb Yarian]

it does light up.

client got portrait of self with the day of the dead adornments.

She brought in some pics of Nikko Hurtado's work for reference--- i don't do too much of this kind of work though.

[hogg]

Congratulations on a truly remarkable achievement, Deb. Even more remarkable: that after 32 years in the biz, people only have great things to say about you.

[Deb Yarian]

That's very nice of you to say thank you so much

[MsRad]

That's really awesome Deb! Seriously, that tattoo is beyond good!

[RockelMan]

Wow A long stretch of doing what you love to do! That's great. So many people do things for a living that they hate doing and end up hating everything because of it and have such a miserable time. and don't get to enjoy life.

I don't know if you remember - I asked you for a job when you were first in Haledon--- I was so nervous and ill prepared.

Funny, change one thing, change everything..

[Deb Yarian]
