Hey, I am as inexperienced as you can be to the tattoo world. I am feeling the itch to get one. I was in the military for 4 years and I am the last person in my family to get a tattoo. For crying out loud, I got beat to the punch by my mother who is a school teacher. I've been lurking at the site for about a week and like it a lot so I decided to join.
You can eat or drink whatever you wish, provided that you have DIET soda. Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Diet Soda.
I see this one all the time in bars. Whiskey Old Fashioned. You take a sugar cube, pour about 2 shots of whiskey and some bitters on it and top it off with soda. Then you garnish it, usually with olives, mushrooms or Brussell sprouts. Between the sugar, alcohol, carbonation and sodium the people would be better off drinking strychnine and juggling rattlesnakes.
Ah, but if you have them with DIET SODA, well, that makes all the difference in the world.
...will get the best of your better judgement.
I had been hearing about this guy for a while now: To the Point Tattoos Charles Parent
(you can easily Google and see his website, more on that in a second).
This place just happens to be not very far from where I live, and I felt like taking the dogs to a new destination on their walk...Went there and the man himself introduced himself to me, claimed he had "34 years" doing this. The shop is in his house, although he at least converted the garage to what looks to be a fairly decent shop environment. Proper chairs, etc...There was one other lady and two other young guys working there.
But...
He showed me the coverup he did himself on one of the young guys that works there. The young guy showed me and proudly exclaimed this was all freehand, none of "that stencil shit" (yeah, why would you want to draw something in advance, position it, etc?).
It's here: Charles' Gallery - To The Point Tattoo (if that doesn't work, go to Home - To The Point Tattoo, then pick Charles' gallery)
Go all the way to the last two pictures, the first one is titled "Coverup extraordinaire", then a closeup of it. I don't know if "Crayola drawn on by a 12 year old" was the desired effect, but that's what I got from it. It was hard keeping a straight face looking at it, but I walked out, never to darken that doorstep again (unless someone I know and like is on their way there to get tattooed, then I'll have to go stop them!) Don't know if there's any truth to the accusations of him stealing stuff for his portfolio, but let's just say looking at his gallery shows me two different calibers of work: 1- Nice and clean, and 2 - Horrendous. That is usually not done by the same person, unless he's heavily medicated at times!
Anybody know this guy?
