  1. go see Wes Carter of Carters Tattoo...promise you wont regret it. And Name Brand has some people there. What more would you need?

    *sorry, thought this was in regard to the convention this weekend. Carters is about 45 min away, north of nashville.

  2. I have seen the 7th down, I believe it is on display at the Indianapolis Children's Museum, very impressive in person. thanks for sharing!

    I dont know how to show which picture, it was the blown glass post

  3. I will be working at Cardinal. I was there at the beginning, moved to cincinnati for a while, and am head back home soon.

    Nick speaks very highly of you! I didnt know if it was the same Nick B. Hahahaha

  4. Guatemala international airport was not a very good experience. I wore clothes while i was in Guatemala city to conceal my neck tattoo and arms. Gangs is Guatemala city have been on the rise the last number of years and anyone who has tattoos could be easily be considered an active gang member regardless of nationality. In the villages and jungle region it was not a problem, as they do not see or deal with the gangs as often as people in the city. I became lazy when we were leaving the country after 30 days, took my turtle neck off at the gate and was immediately prompted to strip down and be searched in front of all the passengers waiting to board. Thankfully my mother, who is from Guatemala, was there to talk with security. the security was very polite, but noticeably intimidated by my tattoos, which was very weird for me. it was an eye opening experience that made me realize that tattoos are not as accepted in some places as they are in the states. Would still drop everything to go back tomorrow.

  5. this has been a constant problem in the area i work for years. Almost ten shops in four years, none lasted longer than 18 months. All have said personal attacks on us, as bad as imaginable(really), none ever true. Not an ethical bone in their bodies.

    best thing to ever happen to us!

    we have gained a more receptive and appreciative client base. all the manglers that would come in, have a place to go to get their $20 tattoos without bothering people really interested in having a tattoo and more than willing to pay. for every one person they tattoo, five of their friends come to us after seeing it. every time one closes its doors it more certifies our reputation. it takes younger people (18-21) a while to learn "cheap ain't good", but the good ones come around.

    I can happily say as well......i have never said a bad word about them to customers, any of them, ever! and people really notice and love it. i just say stuff like "Never heard if them." or "did they just open?".

    recent occurrence in the area is some are offering to finish tattoos we have started. for free even. but, if anyone goes for that option, i didnt really enjoy them anyways. its happened some and worked itself out in my favor. they dont know how much i really know about all of them and how they work. i have people who keep up with them and i keep tabs. but they always shoot themselves in the foot. it works out beautifully.

    P.S. f your landlord dude
