I love my job, as it let's me easily sort out idiots fairly easily when tattooing bible quotes, or doing portraits of Jesus, or patron saints, etc.
I'm gruff, opinionated, and always have a sweet history lesson for them while leaving indelible marks.usually involving fun things like pagan symbols in Easter and Christmas, or how this jc fellow wasn't born on Dec 25th.....
I'm new here myself and everyone has been most welcoming so here's my first welcome now that I feel at home.
I hope you quote Leviticus 19:28 after tattooing the faithful which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord."
I suppose it it wouldn't help with repeat business really...
I do love tattoos but don't have any myself. One of my heros, Pete Burns, once gave me a full tour of all his tattoos which was quite impressive.
Blood boil warning!!! I'm still waiting for them to perfect that permanent removable tattoo technique so I can change them to match my outfit.
Please don't hold back on the insults racing through your head :-)
