    I've done the wrong date and misspelled names. Client error. Recently left out a letter in a word , and was able ta add it. Twenty something years ago outside of Fort Benning,Ga I did the tattoo "PARAROOPER"' I added a little parachute above it dropping a "T" in. These are ones that were brought to my attention over the years. I say client error because often times people are nervous and just write down the wrong dates or actually misspell names

    I do believe that it actually does hurt more not necessarily as we get older, but with each tattoo that we get. It's my theory ( I don't know what truth there is to it) when you experience any pain your response should be to remove yourself from what is causing it--- so when you get your first tattoo and it hurts - and you don't remove yourself from whatever is causing the pain - then the next time, the body says-- well, let's make it hurt a little more --- so that you'll withdraw yourself from the pain. The body doesn't understand that you are voluntarily submitting to what's causing the pain. My 2 cents The longest session I've sat for was 8 hours at a convention Trevor Mcstay did my sleeve over a 4 year period, What with talking and bathroom breaks- I don't know exactly how long-- but that's what I paid for ha ha!

    Thanks Shotsie 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..

    Mainly, my extremities are done ( have tattoos on them) plus my chest, abdomen and lower mid back. From what I can recall the very top of my foot , front of my ankle was very intense.

    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 (:

    What everybody else said ---- but sometimes it has taken months for me to completely heal. It depends on where you get it, how it was done, health,medication, if you were leaning against something that irritated it, so many things could factor in to it - however 6 days is still so early. Continue healing it the way you have your others. See how it is then. Many of my tattoos, on different areas of my body, at different times, occasionally only partially or in their entirety raise/ and or itch. Take a little benadryl --see what happens.

    No- but I was not considerate of her and instead I had a conversation ( over her conversation) with my husband and his client and ignored her and her friends -- which ordinarily I would never do.

    Sometimes (albeit) rarely, people take the stance that you are a service individual and treat you as I assume they would, the person attending to their car for example.

    Recently I had a woman bring a couple of friends with her to her appointment. This would have been fine except that when I joined in on the conversation she behaved as if - hey do your job, do what you're being paid to do and let my friends and I alone. Not good client behavior--- not acceptable and it didn't make for a good tattoo experience.

    I was visiting my parents with my new baby. I leaned over the crib and they saw it. I just remember them shaking their heads. My dad was from a NY blue collar Irish Catholic family and my mother from an upper middle class Jewish family. My parents were pretty liberal thinkers but for them a tattoo was more of a class thing. Even though tattooing eventually becamhttp://www.colbeyjoyce.com/wp-content/gallery/Sketchbook/cowgirl.jpge my life it was never anything I shared or share with them. When my father was hospitalized with a terminal illness I stayed with him and tended to his needs till he died. I wore long sleeves so that he wouldn't see my tattoos on my arm--- just in case he would make a deathbed request that I not get any more tattoos. I've come to the realization that my mother's inability to understand,like or appreciate my tattoos is not very different from my inability to accept her dislike. Recently she also was hospitalized and I told her not to worry that I would get on a plane and be by her side In the morning ( even though my untattooed brother lives within an hour of her) What did she say? "Cover your tattoos!" I've come to realize that many people when looking at tattoos can not see content, skill,quality. When I first started getting tattooed my mother said to me that she didn't wnt my life made harder because of my tattoos and people judging because of them and I said that if people were going to judge me by the way I look they are not the people I want to be friends with anyway. My mother's attitude has really helped me in my own relationship with my children. how to be more accepting of their appearances.

    I got married to a tattooist and started tattooing when I was 19. He was heavily tattooed. I am now married to another tattooist who is even more heavily tattooed. I had a brief thing with yet another heavily tattooed tattooist. I think my tastes may be a bit skewed, but I am 50 now, and a heavily tattooed man is my standard for attractiveness. If I was single I couldn't imagine looking outside of my "community" for companionship. That's just what I find physically attractive and has nothing to do with whether I would like someone's personality though.
