    are we talking about completely removing tattoos or lightening up for more effective cover-ups? because i dont feel one bit bad about zapping some crap i got more than 20 years ago when i was young & dumb. stuff too big and solid and professionally done for a normal cover-up. why take shit to the grave that i don't like? why should i look at some crap instead of something beautiful for the rest of my life? i can always reminince about that point in my life when i talk about the crappy tattoo i have underneath the more awesome tattoo that truly suits me better. just my 2 cents.

    the only time i've used it, it lasted about 5 minutes before it was ineffective to the client. i used it just as recommended, and after reading this i'm wondering if the alcohol in the soap is a factor in what made it wear off so quickly.

    the 2 things that stand out to me the most that have been said; draw draw draw draw draw and spend a lot of money at the tattoo shop getting tattooed. a lot of tattoos. that in itself is one of the first big steps. invest in your (possible) future career. real talk.

    he has some other colors that aren't being sold at lucky's yet. the blue i got is amazing. flys right in. the orange is a winner as well.

    solution: don't work for shop owners like this. then there will be nothing to bitch about. let me re-phrase; there will always be something to bitch about, but if you aren't working for them then there isn't much of a concern. I have much bigger fish to fry then spending any time fretting about a boss I don't and won't work for.

    sounds cool. i'm guessing you have already used this book for some of the info you need? The Milton Zeis Story

    This pretty much sums the shop I work at and my portfolio as well. Well over 95% of any customers at the shop is just walking in to get a tattoo without even considering portfolios and about 3% of those on an afterthought flip through while waiting for me to set up.

    Myself and at least 2 other forum members I know are guaranteed attendees. Like last year, I'm most likely just doing walk-ins browsers.

    Yeah from what I am told back then downtown (pre-SCAD) was still really scummy and there were still strip clubs and shit like that down there. I missed that era; which is fine by me. Sounds about right for mid-summer Savannah

    Not neccessarily the first zap you got, because I am sure I'm not the only one here who couldnt or didnt get one the first time they went in a shop. My friend took me to a Peter Tat2 on Long Island in '90, where she had got a dragon around her thigh and was going back for a consultation for her next one. There were 2 people working when I went in; where my friend introduced me to Eddie & Alex. Eddie was working on the most amazing thing I had seen in my life up to that point; a entire ride/side panel of a crawling tiger that is still to this day indescribably awesome. What I saw there was worlds above the average crap I saw on all my punk & skinhead friends. Alex was the hottest woman I had ever seen. Not just because she was a cool punkish sorta chick with cool tats, but she was really beautiful. We chatted for a while, and by sheer coincidence, they had just moved up to LI from Baltimore, which was where I was headed in less than a month to go to school there. Excellent first time impression. At that time I did not realize that not all tattoo artists were so awesome and talented. Being 17 and broke I wasnt able to get a tattoo, but I was hooked instantly. A year or 2 later I find out through a tattootime book who they actually were and it boggled my mind that I had met 2 serious heavy hitters and had just assumed they were regular tat folk.

    This one made me laugh when I saw it

    It could be anything really. From what I've heard, the pre-Prozack Jack was a bit different (and difficult) to deal with. These days he's just a retired guy that likes to sail his boat.

    I wasn't sure if anyone on this forum (besides the 2 people that have worked here in town, one of which worked with me) would've heard of or met Jack before. Vey cool Deb. He has an amazing treasure trove of classic shit. Just yesterday he showed me an original painting Don Nolan had made to put on Jack's back.

    My boss (Jack Witt) used to zap at a couple of different spots on the Pike (Lee Roy's, Long BeachTattoo) and has a killer scrapbook of vintage photos and business cards. I scanned all of them the other day. Being an ex-HA(apparently not an easy club to quit) and working on the Pike in the mid 70s, he has a boatload of great stories. I can't give ALL of the gems away, but here's some decent ones I can post.

    When I drive somewhere it takes me a certain amount of time. It might take 15 minutes, or it might take 2 hours. Depends on where I'm driving to.
