What I would like to do here is make a place to tell funny stories from the inside.
From the Tattooist.
Some will be mine.
Some things I've heard or read.
And if you want to, mail me your's.
Well I will start with something that is right up to date ,
but is also getting to the limit of recent humor.
I was working on a skull today, as it was coming together my customer asked if I could add a bullet hole. No problem, I added it freehand.
He said that it was spot on.
I then called in my workmates to take a look at Ben Ladens portrait.
Tattooists are sometimes a little twisted!
A while ago a young lady made a booking to get a small tribal piece done on here foot.
When the day arrived she came into the shop looking a little nervous but otherwise OK.
I drew the outline on starting first with a light coloured pen then tided it up with a darker one, she took a look and decided that it was how she wanted
So far so good.
The outline went well, she was starting to relax and as I got ready to colour it she asked if she could take a look.
And promptly passed out.
When she came back to herself she told me that she couldn`t stand the sight of blood. Strange as there was none at all to see.
"Yes there is, all aound the lines" was her reply.
When I managed to get her to look again, promising that there was nothing to see, she
realised that what she thought was blood was acctualy the red pen I used to sketch the design on with at the begining.
