No gloves...it's funny, I was thinking about that the other day, I remember when the big deal at CTC was the autoclave...NO ONE wore gloves. Sitting getting worked on by Dale, both of us smoking. Cigarettes, yeah, that's the ticket, cigarettes...

when did Mike Wilson start tattooing?

Wilson doesn't go quite that far back

I was wrong about this; working 30 years.

So, add Wilson to my 25+ list.
