Retta75 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hey Everyone! My name is Retta and I never thought I wanted a tattoo because a) I hate needles and b) I had a nasty reaction to some green colored pills I had to take which made me break out in BAD hives so I was convinced I did not want any ink on my skin at all. BUT then all my friends started getting tattoos as a way of expressing themselves and so it got me to reconsider. I have a good friend who's a professional tattoo artist and if I'm going to get a tatt for the first time, it'll be from him. He's even going to design me one. Anyway, so my head is full of ideas for future ink I want to get. At the rate I'm going, my whole body will be covered :P Not a bad thing really haha. Anyway, I'm hoping to make some new friends here and learn more about tattoos and artwork. I used to love to draw so maybe this will kickstart me into coming up with my own designs :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaeTae Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Welcome! What is the name of the shop your friend works at? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retta75 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 He WAS at WestCoast Piercing part-time for awhile last year but now he's back to working privately. He works out of his house and it's a pretty decent set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaeTae Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You won't get much love for people working out of their houses. That is not professional, please do not get tattooed from someone working out of a house, there are plenty of good studios where you can get a safe and good piece of work. Please don't take this the wrong way either, just trying to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retta75 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I appreciate it, but he's been my friend since we were little kids and he does AMAZING work. I have NO reservations about getting it done by him, or future tattoos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiling.politely Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 even better, post up examples of his sterilization set up and supply of varying disinfectants... far more important than what the tattoos look like.
