    That's a real cute cat and odd colors too. Our Chloe has interesting colors too, she goes from a reddish brown to an almost brown, has grey on her too and these coffee colored patches on her. If she came with no name, I would have called her Possum. But can't take a name away from a cat if she already has one.

    This is Chloe. My son came home with her almost 2 years ago and now she's almost 6. We celebrate her birthday on 5/5 (cinco de mayo) since we have no idea what it really is. This is the best cat ever and I've had scores of cats through the years. Rob

    I'll have to get it... wow. I knew them both from the Amityville shop, Stanley did my 1st tattoo when I was 22. He's still tattooing, amazing. I can just imagine the stories they could tell.

    I always tip since 1995 or so. I didn't really know of the custom and I was told that most clients are not aware of it and do not tip. I'm switching shops soon and getting what I think is a good rate and will tip accordingly with that in mind. Rob

    Tattoo artists can be odd. I've been inked by some real quirky ones in the past. If you feel at all comfortable there, maybe he'll loosen up on the next tattoo a bit. I've had the same artists since 1995 and we talk about anything and everything. But it took a while to get the back and forth dialogue going.

    Good for you, I can't believe how some people treat ladies that are a little on the plus side. They should be shot.

    I stopped in at a local shop to see one of my son's friends that was getting a tattoo. For morale support. There was this one other guy who was getting his tattoo just finished up... down to that final wipe down. The artist says , "how about I add a little detail around it?". The tattoo looked fine as is. I couldn't catch his eye and he says "sure" and wound up with some funky shading around his nice tattoo. I thought it looked like ass, I hope he was happy with it.

    I had never heard of the practice, but if it works for you, great. Then again in the past I always just managed to scrape up just enough to have something done. I'm a bit more affluent these days.

    With my first tattoos, I was an auto mechanic at the time and it really didn't what you had on you anywhere. My move into corporate America, things were a little different. Definitely a lot more conservative and I have to present a good company image. I'm covered wrist to shoulder & more. No way I can go past turning up a cuff in the summer. But I don't mind as I've been doing it for 30 years with maybe another 6 to go and I'm out... time for that hand tattoo.

    The artwork and tattoos in those links are simply stunning.

    Sorry I missed the event. My artist wasn't there, she broke her arm the week before and I wound up having to work over the weekend.

    Oh I was just kidding although I never heard of laying out so much $$ up front for work. However I wonder how many artists do use a layaway plan? I think it may be a great way to finance some tattoo work.

    If someone laid $650 on me, I'd be off on a major league bender....

    A lot of trades have secrecy surrounding them. I broke into learning machining and the old timers (mostly from Europe) refused to show you anything, they would even cover up things that were working on if I walked up to them. Once they knew I was okay it changed. Tattoo artists have to protect what they have worked hard to learn. And it keeps the gene pool strong. - - - Updated - - -

    I know one bigger lady from the beach, she has a mastectomy done and plastic surgery to get her back to somewhat normal. She had the area tattooed and it looks great on her, really hard to see the scarring that they do a nice job covering up.

    Sometimes the silence can be louder than words.

    I'm an engineer too and I cover up at work. Some people know about them from the gym or beach and its less of a big deal than I'd ever imagined. Someone saw my left arm sleeve peeking out when I was at work on a Saturday, turned out to be a totally positive thing. Rob

    This is definitely what the "before" ink looks like. Rob

    You can never have too many zit or fart stories... Rob

    Mine was 2 hearts and a banner with me & my wife's name on it. We were married almost a year... and having someone else's name on you is definitely a curse. We were divorced about 1.5 years later. It was almost a shame to cover it up since it was done so well. But it had to be done. Rob

    Gotta hand out an A+ for the beard... Rob

    Fuck it indeed... I'm due for a colonoscopy anyway. Rob

    A big plus its only a 1/2 hour and good to kill some time. Some of the before tats look really fresh so I'll call it mostly staged. Some of the afters, they run from real good to real bad. Still it may have an actual 45 seconds of actual tattooing going on. Rob

    This is the only time this has happened and I don't drink before or take anything. It healed just as good as any on me. I'll have it touched up.
