I dont work at a shop, but I tend to go in the same shop from to time even if I am not getting a tattoo. But always treat them as a friend and I hope the artists there all think of me as a friend too. I feel like you should always be nice, just out of respect. I feel like if you are nice and respectful to a shop,its artists and its owner then you will be treated nice too. Ive ran into a few dick tattoo artists who do not tattoo me and always turn my head. Im still a little youngin. Only 21. And honestly feel lucky and grateful to even be able to get tattoos and have tattoos. I try to bring in cool old flash books that I bought to share or just anything. I actually just brought the shop some "moonshine". haha. I always feel horrible for the tattoo artist whos getting treated horrible by a customer. I mean even though I do want to find a mentor...ive always looked up to tattoo artists in a "godly" sense. haha All my respect goes to you lucky tattoo artists.

My wife and I were standing in line at Disneyland a few years ago when I noticed this gal in front of us had Mickey with the Wizard hat from Fantasia on the back of her neck. My wife just whispered in my ear "What is missing from her life?"...

i'll throw this one up here too, if not only for the reason of having not one but two of a dudes tattoo's in this month, that has almost no internet presence at all and likes it that way.
another from Jaie Devore at perfection in austin.

just got this guy.

A. Next week Shane says "I didn't come here to make friends". We know how I feel about this.
B. For the last census, I identified as an Eskimo just to 'hack' the census and make the numbers screwy. I think some of us should try to get on the show, be model 'human canvases' for the interview, then just be total douche customers when our time comes.
Shawn to tattooer: Dude, no disrespect, but you smell like taco meat.

I know this might be the wrong place for me to say this...but i thought that since he was asking for a bottle of classic golden yellow, that he was talking about a bottle of piss.

hahaha maybe I am O_o.
And when I put that cat picture up there...I was just kinda like alright cool, creepy,weird cat thing im going to use you.
And now that you mention that it makes you think im shocked every time I reply...makes me crack the hell up dude hahahaaha. Because I see how you see that. haha way to go for giving me a good laugh.

your profile picture makes me think you're shocked at every thread you reply in hahahaha

One of the big differences I found when I moved from Toronto, Canada to Jacksonville, FL was the way men treated me. I'm talking about, random guy on the street who I don't know. In Toronto I have never had someone yell a sexual obscenity at me on the street, or on the bus. I never had a random guy at the bar in Canada think it was appropriate to touch me on the thigh or breast out of nowhere, like it was his right. In Jacksonville I've had all of that and much much worse. Miami was by far the worst place for it. A couple of examples. On the bus one day while minding my own business reading a book or whatever, this guy comes up to me and says "If I asked to see all your tattoos would you get naked right now?". Yeah dude, I'm gonna get naked on a bus. I was at a bar on New Year's Eve, this guy walks up to me says nothing and just sticks his band between my legs. Wow awesome dude, I guess you forgot that you personally know my fiancé and saw me with him 5 minutes ago. And even if you didn't, wtf bro? When is that ever acceptable? While waiting for the bus in Jacksonville (while wearing long pants and a tshirt) I've had a number of men drive around the block a few times trying to offer me money for "my services". Countless men yelling rude things out their car windows. Men who get actually angry with you when you say 'sorry I have a boyfriend already'. I was at the bar in Tampa with a female friend. We're at the rail ordering drinks, I feel someone grab onto and hold my hand, like in the boyfriend or BFF way, I assume it's my friend, then I look over and see she's on the other side of me. I turn around and it's some random dude. So I lean over to try and tell him that he's offended me, and why. He put his hand in my face, walked away angry, and then spent the rest of the night trying to show us what an awesome catch I'd missed by dancing like he was at a rave about 10 feet away from us.
Other big difference. Racism. The very first day I lived in the USA, I told someone I had just come from Canada. His reply: Do y'all got a lot of niggers up there?
Not saying there isn't racism in Canada, because there certainly is, it's just not as strong or as widespread. Not as accepted.
Oh and one more. The education system, specifically the public school system. Wow. I've already told my fiancé if we did ever have kids, we're moving back to Canada when they're ready to start school.
THANKS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
p.s. I felt I needed to edit this to add that in regards to all the gross man behaviour. I do not in any way dress provocatively. Anyone here who knows me can verify this. I'm a real jeans and t-shirt kinda lady for the most part.

I know of jinxproof, I think thats a really great shop!. And Karl Hedgepath was on my list. Im just still undecided.
